Pros

Decent Pay, Benefits, and PTO

Cons

This company treats it's homeowner's awfully. This place makes all the old people who live in their communities communicate through long, complicated email addresses in which the people on the other line do not respond. There are managers that never return calls or answer their phones. Every call makes you speak to a community manager or request to have them call the homeowner back. If you do get ahold of them, a large number of community managers are rude (they do not want to talk to you or the homeowner) or give you just enough information that gives the homeowner a billion more questions and instead of taking the call at this point managers will force you to be a clueless middle man. You are never provided with enough information to do your job correctly. They place these stupid games that distract from the work. Manager's in the call center do not seem to do anything but sit in their office. It also really feels like I'm in High School here, there is so much drama. Training never keeps up with the turnover, so the longer you are here, the more markets you have to work in while all the new people get to just sit around.

Pros

Great company culture with strong core values and a collaborative environment. As a remote employee, the flexibility and work-life balance are a huge plus. The IT environment is also very dynamic — there are multiple systems, platforms, and technologies in use, so the work rarely feels repetitive or boring. The company is supportive of employee growth and development, offering training opportunities and access to a large online learning library. Another positive sign is the number of long-term employees; many people have been with the company for 5+ years, which says a lot about overall employee satisfaction and stability.

Cons

The company frequently changes business processes and technologies. While innovation is good, it can sometimes feel like just when you’ve fully mastered a system or workflow, a new tool or process is introduced. Workload can also fluctuate depending on business initiatives and project demands. Because it’s a large organization, there are a lot of layers of leadership — supervisors, managers, directors, VPs, etc. At times, it can be unclear who the correct point of contact or decision-maker is for certain situations.
