Pros

You will be working through First Service with one of their customers, which can be a condominium, hotel, etc. Depending on the condominium you work for will determine pay and bonuses.

Cons

There are no cons to report; each company has its own culture.

Pros

Learned a lot. Made good friends.

Cons

They do not train their managers. I was an administrative assistant and they asked me to train my new managers. Then they fire them. All the time. Every week all the time giving everyone horrible anxiety. I would get emails all the time that someone else was gone. And not just managers. The accountants. The admins. The HR people. The anxiety of being randomly fired gave me panic attacks. I would wake up in a cold sweat. Even I had little training and was just thrown into the mix. Then I had SO much work it was unreal. My job should have been for two people. Managers would pile junk on my desk all the time. Thinking I had time to scan in 1000's of documents. Get's better. I was hired with the understanding I would move into management. Then when I asked about it I was told that I was an admin and admins don't go into management and basically how could I be so foolish. But please train the new managers since you know more than they do. WOW! So I left and went with another management company and am a manager. They don't fire people every other day and I feel better now. Then I found out after I left that I was the lowest paid in my department. Tho I had the most managers and the most work. UGH!
