Growing company with management issues - Anonymous employee AvalonBay Communities Employee Review

Great people and atmosphere. I really appreciated their efforts to recognize the opinions and needs of their employees through one on one meetings, surveys, town hall meetings, and a company culture refresher. There is much potential to become a great place to work but they need to get rid of the managers that kill the spirit of valuable employees and who do not align with the new core values. There is a 60 day waiting period for benefits but the benefits are decent. Flex time is a waste if you do not have children. There focus on innovation but so many processes are manually handled. Lotus notes is the worst! Technology is not important to AVB. Its more of lets have dedicated team of five people do it before we invest in the technology that can streamline the process and make it easier for everyone involved.
