      Pros

      Pay and benefits are very competitive. Training is exceptional, with classes for every skill level, and rewards and recognition are practiced regularly. You won't feel forgotten or overlooked for your hard work.

      Cons

      No cons really, but I think we can do better on paid maternity/paternity leave time, which can set an example of even higher standards, and approving longer vacations.

      Hello, and thank you for the compliment of your five star review! We love that you have highlighted our commitment to one of our core values as a company, Diversity and Inclusion. We are also thrilled to hear your rave review of our training programs — our OTD department is truly outstanding! Regarding benefits, we encourage you to chat with a member of your local HR department about our New Parent Leave policy, which was enhanced last year to give more paid time off to all new parents, whether you are the primary or secondary caregiver. We also want you to be able to take the vacation time you earn; keep working with your direct supervisors on those requests — the more advance notice you can give, the better! Thank you again for all you do and we look forward to seeing your career continue to grow.

      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.
