Pros

As other reviewers have noted, Venterra and the majority of its properties seem to be great places to work. Unfortunately I can't attest to this. Everyone else seems to have fun and love their jobs. There seems to be great communication and camaraderie.

Cons

Corporate and other properties seem great, but I happen to work at a property that is not so great. I was hired before the management of the local complex in Dallas came on board so I was not able to meet and evaluate if the management style would be a fit for me, as well as I for them. It turns out it's not. Management is extremely antisocial, but does turn on the social smile for upper management or important people when they come into the office. Intimidation tactics with the staff, especially maintenance staff, are used and lacks a general friendly atmosphere. Mistakes are a big no-no. If you make a mistake, like I have being new to the industry, there are no conversations with me to correct me, instead corporate meetings with regionals are call (as if it's a repeat offense) and instead of "coaching" there is blame and reprimand. Overall, the morale is low, to the point where every other person who was working at the Dallas property resigned because of leadership and management style.

While we appreciate you taking the time to share your review, I’m sorry to read that your experience with onsite management has been so negative. We want employees across our portfolio to enjoy the positive aspects of our company culture that you mentioned equally, regardless of region or community. The management style as described here is definitely not in-line with our expectations for our Experience Leaders. When you have an opportunity I’d like to discuss your experiences in more detail, so we can ensure we’re taking any necessary steps to prevent current or future employees on the team from feeling the same way you have. Please reach out to me directly by phone (905-717-8264) or email (rroos@venterraliving.com) as soon as you have an opportunity. Thank you in advance and again for providing the feedback here.

Pros

Company allows for responsibility to make a change. Everyone is extremely pleasant to work with, and leadership allows for opportunities to grow with the organization. There is no limit to what you can do here to make an impact. I could not love a company more to work for.

Cons

Only negative I can think of is I wish the company offered more benefits. They seem a little limited compared to other companies.

Pros

Almost none. Work stress is so high I can’t recall anything positive.

Cons

They are fine with maintenance guys KILLING themselves everyday with no help. We speak and we are not heard. Properties sitting with over 200 work orders and are denied any additional support. This company does NOT care about its people anymore. It hey care about their investors. They invest millions in their properties, promise a 48 hour guarantee to the residents, promote handyman services, but will not do what it takes to make those “guarantees” possible. Corporate is lost.
