Pros

I have worked for Cortland for almost 3 years and am now managing my 3rd community. Each one, a different challenge and more growth. One thing that has stayed consistent is the freedom and empowerment to create value for our residents and associates in the best way We know how. We are entrusted to make decisions and it is a great feeling. There is so much support at my finger tips. With the drop of an email or the dial of a phone, Cortland provides support and guidance to the site teams that it is almost impossible to fail. I am always treated with respect and truly feel like when I need assistance, I am asking a brother or a sister - everyone genuinely wants to see you do well. Our goals are all aligned and that is to help each other. Something that is not present in every organization but definitely at Cortland. I am truly appreciative to have an opportunity to say that I am apart of this "family". Both DOs and AOMs I have worked with are phenomenal.

Cons

Honestly, I have to dig in my head to really think if there are any. I have racked my brain for 20 minutes and cannot think of one - my honest feedback.

What an awesome review to receive! While we are quick to admit our shortcomings, we can’t tell you how gratifying it feels to have an associate tell us we are doing everything right! We are thrilled to hear not only how empowered you feel as a Community Manager, but also how quickly and willingly other associates step in to support you when you need it. If anything ever changes or if you think of any ways we can continue to step up our game, please let us know – our doors are always open. Otherwise, please keep up the great work, and we will do the same. Thanks so much!
