Pros

People that treat you like people, not numbers. Tons of resources readily available at all times. Communication has been amazing.

Cons

Lots of initial training classes and information. Can be hard to take it all in and not feel overwhelmed.

Learning in the flow of work is something that is going to be the key to long-term success here. As a CM, I'm sure you see the level of attrition and therefore the loss of institutional knowledge facing the industry these days. Stay tuned for an in the flow of work application that will be launching after turn. I think you are going to be blown away!

Good college job

Pros

The property I worked at was nice. Managers and coworkers are very friendly but still expected us to hit our weekly leasing goals. Part time employee's receive a rent discount, commission, and minimum wage. During the leasing season you can make a lot of money.

Cons

Commission drops as the property starts to hit capacity. During turn there are crazy hours for a couple weeks where you have to clean up after old residents. Seeing the disgusting apartments people live in and having to clean up after them isn't enjoyable. Hitting overtime makes most of the work worth it.

I'm stealing your comments about turn. Think you nailed it on the head. The things we see...and touch in the name of bringing a community to its best can sometimes be a little eye-opening, but the experience of working hard together always makes it worth it. You make a good point about optics of the teams tasked with the overall operations. It's a lesson all managers and folks who are responsible for the well-being of others need to keep front of mind. Really appreciate your upfront and honest feedback. Here's hoping we can work hard to earn that fifth star from you.

Pros

Cardinal U - You can learn anything you want!

Cons

Turn over can be high depending on where your property is. Especially true if it was just acquired.

You are 1000% correct about turnover in our industry. After all, success for us is measured in how many lives we touch along the way - requiring everyone who joins up to manage the property (45k in 2021) to constantly maintain empathy in the face of real human-to-human adversity. I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you pick up on that and can't wait to see what's in store for your next. Thanks so much for the review!
