Pros

None. Money? Sub par rent discount for most employees? None

Cons

Will take advantage of your good morals and work ethic, underpay all employees, treat employees like livestock instead of people, have been cutting positions to appease stock holders while absolutely running employees dry. Creating new bonus structures that do not apply to the positions being given to employees. Absolutely taking advantage, no loyalty, no compassion, businesses bottom line comes before everyone and everything. Would invest in the company, hate that I work here.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write a review. All feedback is appreciated and will only help us to get stronger. We understand that even though we hire great associates, we have to keep those associates happy. The changes we have implemented are designed to provide more flexibility for our customers and our associates. However, we also know that it may take some time for everything and everyone to adjust. There have definitely been some challenges and we never want our associates to feel stressed about changes. We hope that you continue to provide feedback to your supervisor or HR Manager to discuss the impacts of the changes, and other ongoing concerns. We want our associates to feel supported. We truly value your feedback, and if you are interested in sharing more, please reach out to your local HR Manager or myself at avalonbayhumanresources@avalonbay.com.
