Ethical leadership and great benefits
Pros
- Corporate is very active & responsive - A lot of freedoms afforded to property staff - Higher management is full of good, ethical people who go out of their way to do right by staff & residents. The principals (top executives) are very respectable and relatable. You're likely to actually speak face-to-face with at least one over the course of employment. - If you're at the right property, you'll meet a lot of interesting people. - Ethical standards of practice compared to other PM companies. More resident-focused, with emphasis on transparency so long as it doesn't compromise liability. - Great benefits package + rent discounts
Cons
- QoL depends heavily on which property/owner you work for - Raises are only once per year, and not very high within a single position. Unless you're promoted, max annual raise is ~50 cents/hr. - A lot of bureaucracy. Takes going through a few levels to get certain things done. - Requires a lot of energy
