Pros

Large corporation provides perks such as benefits, 401K match, paid vacation, etc. Also, more opportunities to promote to a higher position.

Cons

Many properties are understaffed with minimal or no administrative/clerical support. Leasing staff are expected/required to work every weekend. Work/life balance may be an issue, especially for employees with spouses and/or children.

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.
