Pros

Continental Properties provides excellent opportunities to learn the Real Estate business. They are always looking for people who want challenges and want to see results. I have worked for Continental for many years and have seen people excel and grow and become true real estate professionals. It is a great place to start out and stay for the long run. It is also a great place for that person with experience looking for a company that appreciates hard work and dedication. I have enjoyed working with some excellent role models and I feel I have learned from the best.

Cons

Continental works very hard creating an atmosphere of respect and friendship. So when someone does leave it is very hard to find that kind of an atmosphere somewhere else.

Not a bad job, but not a great one either.

Pros

It's interesting to meet new people and lease them an apartment. Good opportunity to become a better salesperson and learn how to deal with irate residents.

Cons

The company does not care about the residents based on how they handled maintenance requests. Turnover of maintenance, sales and management was so high that when someone new would get hired you wouldn't expect them to last. I worked at two properties and during 9 months there were four different property managers and 3 different maintenance managers and that includes long stretches of time with no manager at all. The commission on a one year lease is a joke.

Pros

Smart, dedicated people are the norm, not the exception. Company encourages you to (respectfully) provide input and debate on matters outside of your area, an experience that is liberating when you are providing feedback to others, but can sometimes be challenging for those who aren't used to being challenged. Communication of company goals and objectives is a high priority for senior management. Work environment is fun and never boring, and projects are sophisticated and present complex issues. Continental takes its pledge to act with ethics and integrity very seriously. Senior management is appropriately cautious about outsized risks and has successfully steered the company through real estate downturns.

Cons

Continental can be an intense place at times. The trade-off of working with smart, passionate people is that you will feel pressure to behave similarly. I personally prefer that to the alternative, but some people have left Continental after determining that the culture was not for them.
