Pros

I got to meet and work with a lot of great people. They typically promote within.

Cons

Not enough training provided. Heavily micromanaged. Very disrespectful upper management/corporate employees. Invasion of privacy with the cameras and audio, makes for a very uncomfortable environment. The regional managers do not know how to use MRI, Nexus or any of the other marketing sites. They do not know how to do the reports they require weekly. They make promise after promise to better your property and it never happens, then they continue to raise the rent when you already have low occupancy. They literally set you up to fail. I knew SWR didn't have a good reputation when I started working for them, but I stayed loyal because they were the first PM company to take a chance on me, and get my foot in the door. Then, after they used me to clean up a horrible property, worked me to death, they fired me.

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.
