Pros

The pay is decent and you get commission

Cons

property managers chose favorites and will turn a blind eye to the problems that may arise in the office setting. Also, when their own employees can't qualify to live their own you know its a problem. 8 an hour is barely above minimum wage and with todays rising prices its hard to even live.

You raise some very fair points and first and foremost I want you to know that your voice is heard. Our P&C team is hard at work providing pay bands by position in each State, city, and market to ensure that compensation falls in line with the needs of each of our over 2000 team members in each market across the country. The goal is to have the pay bands that reflect today's changing times in front of the clients to have budgets approved by the beginning of the year. Until then, keep using your voice and help us to be the best place to work for anyone anywhere. Here's hoping that as we move quickly in terms of responding to the changing economy we can earn the fourth and fifth star from you.

Really appreciate the time you are taking to step away from turn to help others better understand why and how we work. Hourly definitely has it's perks during turn, but none of those folks could ever do what they do without your leadership, so thank you for that.
