Pros

Good pay Good benefits Great team

Cons

I’ve never worked for a company that micromanages as much as they do. There are security cameras throughout the administrative building and every time you think you’re the one who manages the property the Regional Manager flips the script. The employees I supervise are a great team but steadily pushed to the limits with the demands of the job. Commissions are very low and docked frequently due to minuscule “errors”. If you make a mistake know that you’ll be put on blast and everyone in upper management will be cc’d on the emails sent to you. I’ve heard upper management “joke”‘about being put on “the list”, but I think it was really a slip-up as to what REALLY happens. Items that a property NEEDS are denied due to budget yet you’ll be wrote up if something’s not done with said items. Not family oriented at all. Little to no flexibility. 40 hours PTO after 90 days and that includes sick days. Short staffed, short tempered upper management equals short tenures for what could have been loyal dedicated employees.

Pros

I can’t think of any.

Cons

Ive been with the company for about 8 months now and I’m actively looking for another leasing job solely because I hate this company. The only reason I’ve stayed this long is because I really do love my manager. The commissions are terrible. You might as well not even count them because they amount to hardly anything. $75 for a year lease is all you get and it’s even less than that once taxes are taken out. Any other company would be ATLEAST $100. They are the cheapest company you will ever work for. They don’t want to spend money on ANYTHING. When I met the owner, he was the most unfriendly human I’ve ever encountered. One resident that was in the office at the time even said “who was that. Why was he so rude.” She was appalled that he was the owner.
