Versatile, adaptive company

Property manager

Business Outlook

Pros

After deciding to attend graduate school, I pursued a part-time position with the company. It was mutually beneficial for me and for the employer, and it showed that the company tries to be as versatile and adaptive as possible. When I started the job, I was not hired for the location that I originally wanted to work. However, I accepted the job because of the potential to move up and for the travel to the home office for training that they promised. They followed through on all of it- Everyone at the home office is friendly, personable, and helpful!

Cons

Working away from the home office, sometimes it was difficult to attend all training seminars and events that they hosted. However, there are team activities and regional events to make up for it. They are always open to new ideas if you think of valuable events for the entire region away from Boston!

Learning and Growing Every Day

Pros

Quickly promoted with hard work and good work ethic, time off is very generous with more than enough sick days and 2 free flex days in the summer, and work-life balance is a constant work in progress - upper management is really trying to make Beacon a better place to work and is implementing different plans to ensure this. There are always employee engagement activities being planned and the overall sense of community is in every office. The company is growing fast and there are always new opportunities.

Cons

Hours are long and there is a underlying expectation to work extra hours and be available to answer emails all the time. This has definitely improved over time, and I feel it will continue to get better.

Dear Property Manager, First of all, thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are proud to promote within as much as possible and are glad that you have had the opportunity to grow with Beacon. Please know that we are actively working to reduce property work load. To make this happen we are hiring new positions at the home office so that we can centralize some work that is currently being done at the property level. This will enable everyone at Beacon to take more advantage of our generous vacation package and the new, for 2015, Summer Swing Schedule (taking Fridays afternoons off by working extra hours during the week). Thanks again for your feedback. We look forward to making Beacon a best place to work and want team members like you to reach out and let us know how we can do better. Sincerely, Jeff Baker
