Pros

TCB has many parts and takes on many types of development work. The company includes real estate development, finance, legal, property management, asset management, resident services, and corporate departments - all spread throughout different geographies. The experience there varies tremendously - as these Glassdoor reviews show - by which corner of TCB people end up in. The real estate development, finance, and legal departments are strong. They take on a variety of project types and allow for tremendous learning as staff grapple with extremely difficult deals. Pay is better than many non-profit developers but less than for-profit competitors.

Cons

Property management has long been a challenge. Its high turnover, overhead costs, operating expenses, and outcomes are a drag on the overall business. It makes development harder. It hurts reputation. And, the HR needs of a property management firm and a developer are very different. The spread of different needs across the organization have led to the creation of much organizational overhead and some lack of focus on core mission and business.

Thank you for providing this feedback. As one way of trying to make pay more competitive, TCB has implemented a quarterly bonus program where property management staff can qualify for a bonus based on the performance of their site against a few key metrics. As a non-profit, it is difficult for TCB to compete against some of the larger for profit companies, but we realize the importance of competitive pay and are continuing to evaluate our plans and how we can improve.

Pros

Great Mission, nice benefits, good working conditions, fellow employees are helpful and kind, operates just like most other management companies alike

Cons

Development needs to include Property management on rehab projects from the start at design. this will keep the Property management side from spending the next two years fixing everything. Employee Moral: give end a of year bonus will go a long way !!!!
