Pros

There is so much potential for this to be a great company. But once you figure out what's behind the curtain, it's disappointing. There's a huge facade of caring about the employees. Nope. You are as expendable as dirty socks. The owner sends blogs daily about one thing, but his actual practices totally contradict those blogs. He makes irrational decisions that hurt the properties and make it so hard to function and be successful. And everybody in any capacity to reason with him, is afraid to tell him the problems.

Cons

The entire regional staff is so far removed from being onsite. They bombard the onsite teams with so many things, that they all become overwhelmed and stressed out all the time. Moral is always low. People are in constant fear of their jobs. Property visits from the owner and regional team members are often negative experiences, all the work you and your team have killed themselves over go unnoticed because all the owner can see is some leaves in a gutter and a dirty window. And heaven forbid you actually try to properly staff your office. If a leasing specialist is sitting at a computer it is automatically assumed they aren't doing anything and they must be let go because you are overstaffed.

Pros

The Collier Companies provides valuable exposure to student housing operations, leasing cycles, and Turn preparation. The experience helped me strengthen my operational skills, particularly around leasing, renewals, and supporting community performance. The company offers structured systems and processes, and the experience can be beneficial for those looking to build a foundation in student housing or property management.

Cons

The quality of the work environment can vary significantly depending on the onsite leadership. In my experience, communication and leadership transparency were inconsistent. Important operational decisions, including staffing and benefits discussions, were not always communicated proactively, which created challenges in effectively managing responsibilities. During my resignation process, the response from onsite leadership was unexpectedly hostile and unprofessional. Rather than a constructive transition conversation, the interaction became personal and confrontational. This made it difficult to complete a standard transition period comfortably. There was also a culture of pressure tied closely to performance metrics, and communication around expectations was sometimes delivered in ways that increased anxiety rather than providing constructive support.
