Pros
Lieutenants are very knowledgeable in the industry and seem pretty adepts at managing this disruptive business. Evolve (or the team's I've seen in action) mirror many successful and in tune company when it comes to leadership and listening to their employees. Regular 1x1's with your superior and regularly asking their employees for their opinions and suggestions to make the job and company better. This is something they promise during hiring and deliver on once you're in! Not all suggestions can be implemented right away or should be used to begin with, but they certainly do listen to what you have to say. Like everything in life, it's all a work in progress. The fact that they value my suggestions really makes a difference to me! I also appreciate the way the Brass is trying to keep the small feel of the company. I like the town halls and the kickoffs. I like knowing how we are doing as a whole and having a chance to meet other team members while enjoying a beer/food on the company dime. No, I wouldn't quite if they didn't keep doing it, but I really do enjoy it and it's a nice way of showing they appreciate us.
Cons
Pay. Without a shadow of a doubt, I am underpaid. Maybe by 10 or 15 percent overall. That not a huge raise to give your employees and it might result in fewer of these reviews where current/former employees rail against the poor pay. (Side rant: While being interviewed, I was asked if I could work part time to start. Now, here, protected by the anonymity of the internet, I would like to give my "unfiltered" response. The answer is HELL NO. Who can afford to house, clothe and feed themselves on a part time and apparently underpaid job in Denver, Colorado?!) The job is heavily based on interacting with clients over the phone/email. Some would call it a call center. I give this part of the job 2/5 stars. It usually not terrible, but like any customer facing job, homeowners can get upset and it's not always fun to deal with. I really don't view it as a call center job because we are a property management company of sorts, and unfortunately, we cannot be in all locations at all times. Therefore, email or phone are the only forms of communication. I don't view this as going to a call center every day, and have no problems going into work.
