Poor experience with a seemingly good company - Maintenance Technician III AvalonBay Communities Employee Review

Pros

The day for volunteer work. The company values. Having appreciation days for maintenance. The ability to get stock and feeling like you are like an owner.

Cons

Having long tenure managers with poor crew management skills. Not being trained for job title and being expected to perform task, with little to no help or guidance. Having little inventory on for work orders. Shops being unorganized and organizing them for the higher ups inspections. Crews keeping different storage rooms and communication areas like a dump. Maintenance didn’t work as a team, just sub groups.

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.
