      Pros

      At my location, employees get along well. People in regional management are accessible and easy to talk to. Corporate tries with good intentions to create a "family" atmosphere. Very good work/life balance. Average in terms of time off policies, but it's not looked down upon when you do use your time.

      Cons

      Compensation has changed several times without much notice - so far not for the better. People do get promoted from within but only to those who are willing to take on the functional role of the higher position they are seeking indefinitely, in hopes that an official spot will open up. This is more so for lower level positions until you hit a bottleneck. No pay transparency, so those who are promoted are given low ball offers. At times, Community Consultants are treated more like receptionists and administrative assistants than leasing agents.

      Pros

      Company culture makes you really appreciate where you work. I definitely agree that is the "people" at AVB that make it great.

      Cons

      Nothing really... sometimes it is a bit of a struggle to wear so many hats.
