Need better management and promotion structure - Anonymous employee Cortland Employee Review

I am not sharing this as everyone experience but me and everyone I worked with had the same complaints, I left for a multitude of reasons but these are some things they need to improve on to lower employee turnover -Management is basically just an inside group of friends who all promote each other and then promise the employees they will be promoted but purposely leave them in the same position, this isn't just venting, the manager actually would admit they didn't us going anywhere. -The base rate is horrible for leasing and the commissions they will hype up but in reality you wont be making too very much. -Extreme hours, they are open until 7 PM Monday-Thursday and expect you to tour till 7, this means you may not leave some nights until almost 8. there isn't really a work and home life balance there at all (this is just a leasing office issue corporate might be different). I get giving customer service but everyone knows that the best way to keep a business running with happy employees is to simply find ways to make the employees happy. long hours aren't the way. -It is a really unprofessional environment. now granted I am not in every office so this one doesn't really stand for the entire company, however, I saw a lot of what I would consider HR issues. I mean some joking around is all fun and games I am a laid back person but when people are talking about how uncomfortable they feel around others it may be time to pump the brakes. - For a college graduate just getting out and in need of some office experience this place actually would be ok, but it isn't a place to waste the degree especially if it is a business degree. They would rather promote people for longevity with the company than to utilize their best and brightest or really anyone with actual management experience or management potential. Basically you could be managed by someone who got the job just for sticking around and really isn't a good manager. -You will be working basically every weekend, it isn't a big deal but at the end of the day if you want a normal life since they don't always even give two days off in a row you are going to want to eventually find a job with more weekends off. Or at least have multiple days off in a row. At the end of the day this wasn't a job in corporate America, so I wasn't expecting much but they could still improve on a lot.
