      Pros

      Great company with great values. A company that sees you as a person and not just a number. This is my first property management company and they have set the bar high. I feel valued, heard and most importantly respected. Work hard and you get great results. Great work life/ balance and genuine friendship created from co workers.

      Cons

      None at this time... if your told “No” they give you guidance and resources to get the “yes” the next time.

      Pros

      Housing discount, strong portfolio exposure, opportunity to work across multiple communities, and valuable experience in a fast-paced leasing environment.

      Cons

      Management loves to preach “teamwork” until something goes wrong, then suddenly it’s every employee for themselves. Very documentation-heavy culture where certain managers seem to enjoy writing people up more than actually developing talent. Communication is inconsistent, accountability is selective, and favoritism is hard to ignore. Commission structure is shockingly low for the workload and expectations. Leadership often presents itself as organized and supportive, but behind the scenes there’s a lot of blame-shifting, targeting of employees, and policy confusion — especially regarding employee housing and lease transitions. My own experience at the end of my employee lease felt retaliatory and left a very negative impression.
