Pros

Working with the residents and feeling professional throughout the day.

Cons

The office I worked in had a lot of negative employees including my manager. If I took a sick or vacation day, the staff would not be speaking to me when I came back to work. Made for a very long day and made it hard to be motivated during the day.

Pros

Culture- they care about you as a person, not just see you as an employee Balance- I am not expected to work late daily and every day off, they focus on us being happy at home too Pay- they are in line with other major companies in Property Management

Cons

There are alot of metrics to meet, and we have to submit tickets for approval verses helping a customer right away at the property. Overall, I agree with the direction of the company- I don't have to like 100% of every decision made.
