FPI Management reviews

*Too many bosses. FPI is a management company that doesn't own any of their own properties and works for many different owners. Thus, you have to answer to your FPI supervisor, their supervisor, the ownership, the construction leads, and all of them are asking for something to be done a little differently because they're not really talking to each other. *Too many reports! Example. You have to complete 3 different incident reports for 1 incident event! *Too many programs to have to learn and interact with on a daily basis. In this day and age, can't you integrate these programs into 1 or 2? *Too many required trainings before you can receive access to run the community properly. Even if you've used the software for years and are very comfortable with it. *Too many general company wide emails that are meant to be informative but just end up taking precious time away from more important property emails. *Too many tasks that are thrown onto the Community Director without a way for us to delegate efficiently to our team in order to complete multiple tasks within the required timeline. Let's have the CD do everything and give everyone else cushy tasks because they don't have access to anything important. *Too many access restrictions that hurt efficiency in the office and doesn't allow for the Community Director to take sick time off or a vacation without having to come back to everything that couldn't get done due to others not having the ability to complete the work. *Too little communication with very little or no time to execute or plan properly. Example: Vendors coming into the community to perform work but the office was not made aware of the appointment. *Too much wasted money. I've always been told that the core of property management is to lease apartments, collect the rent and protect the property by saving as much money as possible while providing the best quality possible. That is not happening here.

FPI took over a 66 property portfolio. They had plenty of time to get all of the transitioning employees ready for success but this has been a total mess. Managers are expected to do SO MUCH WORK without help. Without much guidance and we are ALL struggling and afraid they are going to fire us! It's too much at one time and I really think they want us all to quit. So many of us are looking for a new job. We don't want to work for a company who does not want us! Lives are at stake here and there is no work/home life balance. Office is closed for trainings hours of the day and we have a lot to catch up on.
