Pros

Pros are the people closest to me on-site, as we genuinely care for each other as we suffer through the consequences of poor change in the company together.

Cons

AvalonBay is not what it was just a few years ago. Constantly looking to cut back on employees and allow the on-site teams to suffer. The company no longer aligns with core values that were once truthful. A business is a business, but AvalonBay has done nothing but focus on investors and cutting costs while their crucial employees are drowning. Employees feel worthless. Top talent giving notice week by week and it couldn't be more of a sign that the company has become just terrible to work for. With the amount of work and extra time and energy that the on-site teams are having to deal with due to these changes, some genuine appreciation should be shown. AvalonBay tends to lean on throwing a free lunch at their associates to keep them quiet.
