FirstService Residential reviews

If you are not liked, you will not succeed. Advancement in career is not based on performance, but on how popular you are. If you are good at what you do, you are pigeonholed into staying in that position forever. Raises and bonuses are unheard of, FSR is not willing to pay the Financial Management Team what they deserve so there is low morale, everyone is generally unhappy. Since the financials are not regulated, there are no internal controls and you will not get good accounting experience here. The managers do not have their CPA or any real qualifications so there is not much to learn - accounting wise. Turnover is so high and no one takes the job seriously, just a pit-stop in their career. They will hire anyone with a pulse, so if you are desperate you will get hired but will be worked to the bone. Also, managers/employees will go into the Director's office to complain/gossip about other employees for hours on end (no exaggeration). It is so abnormal and strange and quite disturbing. Also will gossip with HR, makes the environment very uncomfortable.

The management isn't good at all , they don't show concern for their employees at all. Also , when you start they'll start you off at $18 per hr. Don't expect a generous raise when it's annual review time , they are stingy with the pay out. The raise will only be 3%. They aren't big on in house promoting either , they'll hiring someone from the outside before they promote someone "in-house" that's been there years! Not , good. They'll have the people who they claimed weren't "experienced enough" to train people in high up positions like (lead roles ..ect).
