Odd culture towards residents

Pros

The job isn't too hard, and the people you work with are nice

Cons

The way people at the company talk about residence is kind of disgusting. They talk about how annoying customers are for asking for anything. There is zero focus on customer service; if anything, we are encouraged to ignore residents.

Pros

The work is not strenuous Compared to other companies.

Cons

Very strict about their ninety day probatiary period Taking days off Is Frowned upon in this frame and time Even if they legit, If you have kids that have Special needs or have Conditions that need constant appointments to the doctors. Not willing to work with you or Hear or ask On what's going on Just a bunch of head, nodders. We'll drop you quick If you don't meet your requirements Or expectations, But they claim to be a family oriented company, which is not true. You can be on time and do can work. And like I said, if you don't meet the needs or expectations or requirements, they will terminate you, With no written warnings, no verbals, just termination. And don't get an email from the tenants or residents that staying there will also get you Terminated quick.
