Pros

Great company to work for. 5 weeks of Paid Time Off. Health insurance, 401k, dental, and life insurance. After 6 months, you have a chance to work from home half of the week. Great culture and values. A lot of activities to boost morale, fun games, and free food almost weekly.

Cons

Pay was not enough for the high level of stress that is community management. People stay because the benefits are REALLY GOOD, but the pay is MEDIOCRE. Super stressful, always dealing with your community residents, HOA board members, and vendors. You're basically always on call, even on the weekends, in case of an emergency in your community.

Pros

- Competitive benefits package, including five weeks of PTO, which is generous for the industry - Overall company culture is generally positive on the surface - At the time, the Austin team was collaborative and supportive, with strong peer relationships - Client-facing leadership was capable and invested in maintaining good relationships - The role offered solid exposure to the Austin market and portfolio operations

Cons

- Significant leadership inconsistencies that negatively impacted morale, trust, and daily operations - While PTO is generous in theory, workload and expectations often made it difficult to realistically take time off - The Austin market lacked sufficient structure and operational clarity, leading to inefficiencies and unnecessary stress - Senior leadership support often felt performative rather than actionable, particularly during high-pressure periods - People management was a major weakness, with poor communication, limited accountability, and inadequate support for employees - Most concerning was how employee departures were handled. Professionalism and respect were not maintained after notice was given, creating an environment that felt uncomfortable and, at times, perceived as retaliatory - Leadership behavior during transitions undermined trust and left a lasting negative impression
