Pros

If you're male and work in Development, there are perks. Aside from that, I did enjoy all of the wellness events (blood drives, massages, fitness challenges, flu shot clinics).

Cons

When I started I didn't really receive any training. I was thrown into my cube and left to figure things out for myself. On more than one occasion I was told to "Google" something to figure things out. I eventually stopped asking my supervisor for help because it was fruitless. Communication was always an issue. I felt like I was never in the loop on things until it was a fire drill situation and things had to get done NOW. I tried to set up weekly meetings with my boss, but he never kept them. PTO is ridiculous. Only 4 days in your first year??!! I frequently felt that I had to babysit the people in my department. Making sure they got to their meetings on time or that they knew meetings were even taking place. I felt like there was no appreciation for other people's time. Why schedule meetings when people schedule right over them or flat out don't show up? It is a micro-managed environment with procedures for everything, including for when the power goes out and for what restaurants lunches can be ordered from for meetings. I was never paid what I was worth in the open job market. I had to ask for a raise to get up to ALMOST the average wage for my position. I got my raise and then my bonus was cut in half, all while others in my department were getting 5 figure bonuses twice a year. There really were no consequences for not getting your work done on time. Even upper level management will let a lot of things slide, especially when it's not viewed as an important task.

Pros

If you work in HR, Development, or Asset Management, you are probably going to be fine. These are the departments that receive most of the support and additional perks from the owners, or company.

Cons

-Training is unorganized, intermittent, and not effective. -Communication between the sites and home office, or even different departments within the home office is minimal, or not effective. -Turnover is extremely high, even for the property management field. -You only get 4 days of PTO your first 12 months, after your one year anniversary, you get two weeks...however, due to the high turn over rates, they clearly don't bank on people staying. -Their main resource of information is on their company intranet, which typically holds outdated information, or incorrect information. Regardless, if you make a mistake as a result of this, blame will be put on you. - They've started a new business practice where management is required to give all employees an 'IDP' or In Development Plan....thus ensuring no employee has the potential to receive a full bonus during bonus reviews. - If you are a mother who is breast-feeding at the home office, you can expect to do that in a small storage closet that has a ratty old office chair...which is a step up from the bathroom shower stall it used to be in, I guess? -My department was given a 1% pay increase across the board this year. re: It doesn't matter what your personal work ethic may be, or how much effort you put into your work, you are treated as a disposable number.

Pros

There is an abundance of happy hours and team-building events. The amount of turnover enables you to meet lots of new people.

Cons

Unmanageable workload. Inability to advance within the company. Unappreciated from the controller up to ownership. Low pay depending on the team you work on. The amount of turnover creates added stress and workload for the consistent employees which essentially affects team morale.
