Good pay, but job security is lacking

Pros

The money was good is about all the good there was.

Cons

I leased all of their apartments as a leasing agent. As soon as they were full I was terminated because they only needed a property manager.

Pros

I have the authority to shape team culture, improve workflows, and make decisions that directly drive success. There is immense satisfaction in mentoring team members, watching them grow, and helping them achieve their career goals. I get to shift from purely executing tasks to big-picture thinking and problem-solving. The role sharpens invaluable soft skills like negotiation, conflict resolution, and leadership that are highly transferable.

Cons

I am ultimately responsible not just for my own output, but for the performance, mistakes, and morale of the entire team. Managers often catch heat from both sides—balancing the expectations of upper executive leadership with the realities and needs of direct reports. Transitioning into management can sometimes create professional distance between you and former peers or team members. You spend more time in meetings, handling administrative tasks, and unblocking others rather than doing the hands-on tactical work you might have originally enjoyed.
