Pros

Company has good benefits and apartment discount if you’re part of the maintenance team.

Cons

I wouldn’t recommend working in the Santa Clarita area. You either get fired or get forced out. They have a lot of turnover with employees there due to management.

Pros

There isn't any reason to work for this company.

Cons

Very nasty, unfair, and unprofessional people. All of them should be fired. They purchased buildings from Donald Trump and completely ran them to the ground.
