It's common to feel frustrated and misreable everyday.

Pros

Not much to brag about... -The best thing is their product. -Also a plus...a lot of free lunches

Cons

-Too many Cheifs, not enough Indians. -No communication or respect between departments and the company does no team building to foster it. -Property mangement and customer service are the lowest on the totem pole and they are made to feel that way. -All responsibilities fall on property management regardless of the task. Everyone gets away with passing the buck. No one takes ownership. -No work life balance. If you have a family forget about working for this company. You are expected to jump when they say jump and be available 24/7. -Operates like a startup. Still hasn't found their "groove". Constantly changing processes and procedures. Poor processes in place that don't collectively benefits all teams. -Provides bonus at the end of the first quarter of the following year. -Biggest problem in SJC office is long term employees ability to walk all over people with no consequences.

Pros

Location is easy to get to only off the highway, but don't plan on leaving for lunch breaks or errands with the way the roads are situated to get around and the way traffic is, and there are always accidents and construction making it harder.

Cons

Be wary about working and doing business within the Needham, MA location - Property Management is young and not easy to work with and is very impersonal, condescending and even pretentious, and does not treat people as if they are human, and this is even expressed openly to us by their colleagues. They pride themselves on customer service, but when a client makes a request, they put their needs over the client first, and always with a fake smile with an attitude that we are bothering them and they're just too busy to help. Quite unprofessional.

Desperate to Stop the Bleeding

Pros

Big brand in the space, solid foundation to do great things.

Cons

Such a waste. The toxic, top level exec team cannot seem to keep it together long enough to build an idea or make a culture shift. They’ve lost many employees to competitors, and now they are trying to maintain people with stock and unwarranted promitions. They are desperate, and yet still so complacent. It will take continued loss in sales before someone on the board finally realizes that acquisition alone will not solve the internal issues this company has. A slow, dying beast.
