Work life balance is not so good

There is a lack of understanding of what happens at the apartment property sites. The last year has seen elimination of titles trying to copy similar companies, without understanding each employee's function. Job descriptions or duties did not change, but bonuses and pay were cut. Lack of understanding of PM role (salaried), which causes the company to leak money in the millions. Average salaried employee works 30 hours per week, sometimes less, while most of corporate America usually relies on salaried employees to pick up the slack. With over 10% unemployment in our culture, good replacements cannot be attracted or hired for most positions, as the replacement will be actually running the site at a very modest pay. Best practices are not followed (or passed along).
