Pros

My bi-weekly pay check & my team

Cons

Never provides straight answers or offers real solutions to ongoing problems/issues. Core values should be updated because many of upper management team does not follow our current ones. Extremely high turnover with no focus on retention. Tenured employees leave due to low salary and minimal support from upper management. Other property management companies are willing to take a chance with our employees when considering growth opportunities, when we won't. The company is reactive versus proactive. Very minimal diversity in leadership, take a look at our webpage. Also, when asked if Juneteenth could be an added holiday since it is now a Federal Holiday, leaderships answer was "No, we will not be adding an additional holiday. We can talk about replacing one that we already have with Juneteenth". One of our biggest competitors has 11 paid holidays versus our 10, due to honoring Juneteenth. Very minimal employee recognition outside of "milestone" anniversarys. Maternity/Paternity leave is ridiculous. Changed on-site bonus structure and now Community and Assistant Community Directors aren't capable of making as much money. When communities are short-staffed, upper management does not offer support, but expects Community Directors to still be able to perform with little to no support. Investors are the number one priority, not the people running the show (employees)

Hello – We appreciate you for taking the time to share this feedback. We are disappointed to hear your concerns, and that you do not feel supported by our corporate team members because a lot of our corporate employees were promoted from on-site positions and are familiar with the day-to-day tasks of our on-site members. We are disappointed to hear you feel this way, and we will share your feedback with leadership. Thank you.
