Pros
My Area Director has been very helpful. I had a couple days of training with an individual from a sister-site which was questionable; not great experience. I've had the opportunity to speak to some individuals from the corporate office that relieved my anxities about the position and were extremely friendly and helpful. My AD and the assistance I got from the ladies in the corporate office were the reasons I did not pack up and run! Not everyone; even though I could tell she is probably good at 'her' job and 'her' property - should go attempt to train a newbie. This gal was NOT a good teacher! Over all I am excited to learn my duties and learn about the manufactured homes as I come from strictly apartments. They provided me with a gift bag which included work shirts, coffee cup, work planner/binder. Meant allot! I just can't wait until I have my job / role / responsibilities (procedures, etc) figured out. At that point I am sure I will LOVE my new position with my new company!
Cons
Lack of thorough training. I am alone in the office for most part. With my long past in property management; I see many things that should be fixed at my new community but without at least a 'part time' person - it seems impossible to bring the community as a whole up to its fullest potential. This is one thing I will be pushing for........ Also, inadequate training (or at least the part I rec'd from just the one person).
