      Pros

      The company in itself is pretty good and pretty simple if you know what you are doing. If you have a Great manager you can easily move up, if you don't have a manager willing to go to bat for you then forget getting promoted. If you ever get the opportunity to work under Todd as a manager you will learn a great deal about the company, its systems and much more.

      Cons

      To get promoted it is all about who you know. Unfortunately if you do something small to make someone mad forget getting promoted ever! Once you have done anything small to upset someone then they will pretty much blacklist you forever. I worked for the company for over 3 years and wanted to move up and got over looked for promotions for people that had been with the company a significant amount of time less than me. The company if also full of gossipers, so I highly recommend that you keep things to yourself. The bonus structure with the company sucks, of you are at a stabilized community you make a measly $75 per lease and after tax it is around $50 which for all of the work you have to do for your move-ins it doesn't make it worth it. You do get bonuses for renewals, however it is still $75 per lease and it is divided among everyone in the office.

      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.
