Pros

some of the co-workers are great. The pay was very good but I believe I was very much overpaid. You can set your own hours... sort of, and some work from home options.

Cons

They say one thing in the interview and omit other important things such as being "on-call". No training/onboarding program. If they don't like you they just terminate so there is constant staff turnover. Benefits are average at best. The dental sucks, health insurance e is expensive. Can't use sick days for vacation. 10 PTO days. There is so much work that no one can really take time off and if you do you are expected to check email daily. Absolutely no work-life balance. Some of the HOA boards are terrible mean people. Very corporate culture.

Pros

Many properties to work, pay, holiday gratuity fund, beautiful buildings, convenient to public transportation

Cons

Lack of staff at particular buildings, 24 hour operation but, not all staff (favoritism) is required to work such hours, depending on the property your schedule will be up and down from week to week, work life imbalance, just not a good place to be employed. Health insurance is expensive.
