Good HQ. Need better office staff

Leasing agent

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Not a difficult position and paid a decent wage.

Cons

My managers in the office didn’t know anything about the property. They couldn’t give a tour if they had to. They would all talk negatively about other staff members who weren’t there to defend themselves. The community manager was not pleasant most of the time. They would set extremely unrealistic goals for us to complete and would be upset if we didn’t complete it. The core values were also never followed by the managers

A major focus for 2023 is around upskilling managers onsite to be people managers vs process managers. Most of us who stick with this industry are programmed early to learn more about the value of the asset and often aren't trained to realize the value of the asset is a direct result of the people like you who bring their best each day. While I can't guarantee a stop to attrition in the short term, I can guarantee the emphasis that will be placed on ensuring you as well as your leaders will be upskilled to work alongside eachother in a valuable way.

Fair wage for student employees

They have a strong set of values and codes that the place I worked rarely followed. Didn't seem like the knowledge was passed down the chain
