We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your internship with us! Hosting summer interns and sharing information about our business is always a highlight for us, and we were so impressed with all of the creativity, passion, and work ethic shown by our interns. We thank you for choosing to spend the summer with us, and we hope that you enjoyed your experience enough to come back to work for us when you graduate. Please keep in touch with your Recruiter, and in the meantime, we wish you all the best back at school!

Pros

Colleagues have each others backs and are there to help out other communities when in need.

Cons

Skeleton staffing at most communities. Leadership out of touch with reality on being on-site, and not having appropriate staffing to assist customers.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts; as one of our valued property leaders, we are encouraged to hear your overall positive thoughts, as we recognize that morale and engagement starts with you and trickles down to your team. We are very appreciative of all that you do for the company and your employees as a Community Manager, and we hope that after our recent leadership summits you are feeling encouraged by senior leadership’s desire to hear your perspective and to make adjustments as needed. Between the summits, town hall meetings, and regular market visits, our leaders are committed to spending as much time in the field as possible in order to best support you. Staffing and work/life balance are important topics, and we are exploring a number of different initiatives for our hardworking field team members. Keep speaking up, and we promise that we will keep listening! Thank you for all that you do, and here’s to many more years of having each other’s backs.
