Pros

If you have a good manager in your corner you are set

Cons

They will pretend they care for you. Doesn’t matter how good you are at your job, the moment you disagree with them or do something they don’t like, you become a number that they simply do not care about and are written off Health insurance is terrible and extremely selective

Pros

At First Service Residential, actions speak louder than words when it comes to valuing employees. From personalized thank you notes to thoughtful gestures like potted plants and even an exclusive FSR branded Pickle Ball set, the company goes the extra mile to show appreciation. This genuine approach contributes to a positive and supportive work environment. Moreover, the high standards of professionalism upheld by First Service Residential inspire a culture of excellence and mutual respect among employees.

Cons

Working in a position where I am the sole individual responsible for my specific role presents unique challenges when it comes to acquiring detailed knowledge necessary for performing my job. Without colleagues in similar roles to seek guidance from, I often encounter hurdles in obtaining comprehensive understanding and best practices within my position. This situation requires me to be proactive in seeking out resources and developing independent problem-solving skills to ensure that I can fulfill my responsibilities effectively.
