Pros

I love that I can truly be myself around upper management. I did not feel this way with the previous company I worked for. This is huge to me! I started off with Cortland as a Leasing Agent in 2016 and was promoted to an Assistant Community Manager in 2018, and then recently promoted to a Community Manager in April 2019. This clearly shows that if you want to grow with Cortland, the opportunity is there. You just have to want it bad enough and have the data to back up your growth. I've never worked for a male DO and was a little intimidated interviewing for the CM position but was able to be myself and have learned so much from not only my DO and AOM's but fellow managers as well. I consider myself lucky to have the team and support that I have. I absolutely love that I can be myself with EVERYONE within Cortland.

Cons

As Cortland is growing, we've encountered typical growing pains but I really can't even consider that a "con" because growing pains are inevitable with any company or anytime you encounter growth.

Pros

The benefit package is the best I've ever seen. Commission & Bonuses structure is extremely rewarding! Amazing sense of community and culture as a whole. Not only are there growth opportunities but it doesn't take 5 years before someone in corporate recognizes your potential and helps you work towards your growth path. The company instills a sense of provide and trust in each and every position so that you do your job to it's full potential. I find myself genuinely excited to go to work everyday.

Cons

Nothing negative to say about this company!
