Pros

health care, birthday off. absolutely nothing else

Cons

I have been working with Avenue5 for less than a year, This is a terrible company. We have had non stop issues at our property. We get picked on and singled out. Discrimination runs rampant in our sector. If you arent perfect looking they dont like you. The RM's and our VP are all very rude and condescending. We get treated very unfairly and if we tell them we dont agree on something they then just make our lives harder. We have not gotten trained correctly either, so then if there is a mistake made we get in trouble instead of them acknowledging their faults. Bottom line is they dont care about their employees and will let you know that.

Pros

Good benefits and 401k match Few after hours expectations Better bonus system than competitors such as grey star Basic certifications at each level - no additional (con)

Cons

High turn over Hires outside of company before within Lack of training for growth Low employee value at every in office position Micromangement on a daily basis to every office position Punishment for completed and successful goals due interim co-CEO unbeknownst, almost impossible ideals. This goes hand in hand with extremely poor communication. With that, lack of acknowledged successes. E.g., success of daily sales, pre-sales, high occupancy, high leasing rates. All things my office exceeded goals on but were never 'good enough' and 'could be done better'. To clarify, these words came from out-of-office management as we met the goals they set for us. High school like environment between upper management that trickles across offices

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your associate experience here at Avenue5. While we are glad to hear that you appreciated our benefits, bonus system, and the work-life balance your role offered, it was disappointing to read that you didn't feel trained, supported, or valued. We do strive to create opportunities for associate growth through our in-person training as well as our online catalog of 5,000-plus courses, and recognizing each associate for achieving their goals is a priority that is reflected in our core beliefs. We regret that we fell short of your expectations, and we will be happy to pass your comments on to our leadership in Texas and beyond so that we may learn from your experience.

Pros

-Onsite team members and upper level management are terrific and supportive -Terrific training programs offered with supportive career development team for onsite roles, still developing corporate support training -Great health benefits and paid time off..do not plan to use your time off as you will be contacted while you are out... also forget about utilizing sick time -Growth opportunities for onsite team members but not at corporate support level

Cons

-My last day cannot come soon enough! -Horrible human resources leadership, constant turnover due to toxic environment. Other corporate support departments within Avenue5 are terrific to work with, but the HR team is not the place to be. (RUN) -Unethical practices, problems not addressed and constantly swept under the rug. -No boundaries or respect provided if time off is utilized -Under supportive leadership throwing you under the bus rather than partnering to provide professional solutions -Executive HR leadership is scattered, unorganized and disconnected from operational reality -Constant micromanagement and dated administrative functions, not willing to invest in new technology -Turnover is high and not evaluated

We are disheartened to hear that you did not have a satisfactory experience as an associate overall, though we were happy to learn that you appreciated our benefits, training programs, growth opportunities, and cross-departmental collaboration initiatives. The cons you listed are disconcerting, and not at all aligned with the experience we wish to provide for our associates; it important to us that all associates feel listened to, supported, and recognized, and that associates are able to enjoy work/life balance and make the most of their paid time off. We will route your feedback to our executive team for further review, and wish you the best on your career journey.
