Pros

I’ve really loved working at this company and with the people. It’s been a positive experience overall and I feel a high level of job security.

Cons

The pay is not what it should be for the amount of work, but the people and high trust environment has made it worth the low pay. CEO is okay, but in general senior leadership is questionable. The senior leadership really drives the success of this company and when good people are in charge you can tell and when bad people are in charge you can really tell.

Pros

Didn’t feel micro managed. Freedom to run your own community for the most part. Not much requirement for out of office work.

Cons

Hard to promote, managers don’t provide opportunities for growth. Very student housing based; the conventional teams don’t get much recognition.
