Pros

Before company changes were made, it was a great company with great benefits and work/life balance. You felt like you could build lasting friendships with the people you worked with and it was an comfortable atmosphere where you enjoyed going to work every day.

Cons

Company came up with bonus compensation overhaul where they told the employees they would make more money but once it rolled out, all employees (except management) received pay cuts only to be told they would be working under more stress and pressure and more work overall for less pay even with the bonuses due to the pay cuts.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns, and I'm sorry to hear that your experience at AvalonBay has diminished since the introduction of the new bonus plan. We made the changed based on consistent feedback from our on-site associates for a more commission-based structure with higher bonus potential. While the changes and results have been well-received by many, not all will respond as favorably. We encourage you to offer your perspective through the RS compensation surveys - they will help to influence future updates and communication.
