The greed is unpalatable. Demanding..no appreciation. I worked on a large (400 unit) property and leased roughly half the apartments in the barely two years I was there; I was good at my job, yet I was given a 2% raise after my 2nd (positive) yearly review. As an employee living onsite, my "reduced rent" was increased at rate of 7% per year, which by my math means the company turns a profit off their employees as well. Corporate expectations are sky-high, but they give the onsite managers so little empowerment that even dealing with resident complaints is a chain of politics and micro-management (meanwhile every time I picked up the phone one was yelling in my ear)! I say this, b/c I witnessed it repeatedly. there were about 5 managers rotated through the property over those two years, the only other consultant in the office changed half a dozen times, and the property was sold barely 2 months after I began employment. I ended up working every weekend for about 2 months straight after my 1st coworker quit, and I was barely trained at that point. It took me months to get all my files straight, and they didn't hire another employee for weeks and weeks. SAD!
