Pros

Opportunity to grow transferable skills.

Cons

Will never make full earning potential working in multi-family. This company is no exception. Portfolio is older and slim selection for moving up.

Pros

I have been in the apartment industry for almost 14 years and have worked for a few different companies. CWS, by far is my preferred choice in broadening my career development. Although I have only been with the company for 6 months, I have seen and experienced first hand the level of consideration not just for their employees but the residents. The leaders of this company truly are open, honest & sensible.

Cons

I wish I would have started sooner.
