AvalonBay Communities reviews

They only value you with their words and food. Working hard will only get you more work with no pay increase. All they can usually offer you is work experience without a title or salary which may work for some people depending on your situation. Work evaluation is subjective and with multiple people with differences in knowledge of policies and procedures, it can be frustrating getting the right information at times . Your work will be considered wrong or right depending on who reviews your work and how much they know which was an issue for me. Unless you share expenses with someone it will be hard to support yourself with this full time position alone. You can transfer departments with a raise that is non negotiable (like all raises) and everyone is given the same rate and it is very low. Working from home as shown me this company doesn't really care about it's employees and sees their top performers as replaceable. Even managers don't make a lot. It is not a terrible place to be, they just won't do a lot for you. Great place to work if you need something for the "meantime" though.

Unless you get in the right group of people from the start, you're doomed. They look for any way to fire and get rid of people just so they can instill a strong environment of fear and control in the office. They punish you if you succeed or grow to fast, and also if you are less than perfect.
