Pros

I have worked for Beacon Communities as an employee for one year and also had the pleasure of having Beacon as a client for 5 years. In my 30 years of business I have never worked for such an employee centered company. It is evident that Beacon finds its employee’s true strengths and desires and leverages them to build an engaged and empowered team. I have experience as both an employee and employer and would recommend a career at Beacon Communities to anyone seeking to work for the number one thought leader in the Affordable Housing Industry.

Cons

Not enough companies out there like Beacon!

Pros

For those who are willing to buy into Beacon's culture, the results can be both personally and professionally rewarding. When I write about the Beacon's "culture," I am talking about the committment to doing the right thing under any circumstances. As an employee, I feel empowered to make decisions that I know will not produce a financial gain (and may even cost money), but for the sake of the people involved, must happen. This attitude begins with senior level leadership, and is preached throughout the organization. Since joining Beacon 6 years ago, it has proven to be a great fit for me. Prior to Beacon, I bounced around the industry as I tried to find a company that was a good fit for me. Beacon's culture and the opportunities that it provides has been a game-changer for myself and my family.

Cons

I won't bother taking a seemingly positive thing and presenting as a con. I love my job and the growth opportunites are great...

Pros

Having been employed with Beacon Residential Management for over 28 years, I have really enjoyed my career – starting in a more entry level position, I then learned more about the business because I have held many different positions within Beacon. I feel uniquely qualified in this industry because of the level of expectation that Beacon has of its team members. You are expected to excel and, with the support, education and mentoring Beacon believes in, there’s no reason why you cannot. There are many things I love about working for beacon – how engaged in its team members Beacon is, the kind and quality of housing we provide, and I get to work with some of the best and most respected professionals day in and day out. Employee Engagement. Beacon asked the entire team to complete a survey to ask what everyone honestly thought about the different aspects of working at Beacon. From the survey, cross-functional teams were formed to help roll out suggested changes to policy and to acknowledge that we are all listening to what everyone has to say. It is not uncommon to have team members with 25, 30, 35+ years of service with the company. What is uncommon is that they are all still very engaged all the while at work! Quality of Product. Our registered trademark is LIVING WELL by DESIGN. This means that every attention to detail is given regarding the tangible finishes and interior designs of our communities. It also means that an incredible amount of thought and planning goes into the intangible aspects of living at a Beacon Community. The resident programs and conveniences are all very deliberate in order to retain our residents and create real ‘community’. I like that the company makes a positive impact in the lives of its team members, the residents it serves, and all the communities in which we do business. The Best People in the Industry. My colleagues at Beacon are the best in the industry. I get to work with them every day and continue to learn from the best. It’s like playing tennis with a player that is better than you. By continually doing so, you can’t help but improve your own game. That’s what it’s like to work with the experts in our field at Beacon. If you can ‘return a serve’ and continue the volley with folks on this team, you will only get better at what you do.

Cons

Beacon is going through a significant growth spurt and has been for a couple of years. This is not a negative thing, however, it does make for a more challenging work environment.
