Pros

It's a very laid back job for the most part, there is a lot of down time, so I spent a lot of time working on personal projects. The residents at my building were mostly really nice, and the pay was pretty decent.

Cons

It's a very isolating job, you get very little time with your other coworkers, and this can be really stressful especially considering you're not supposed to leave the desk unattended, and you do have to leave the desk for many things. The management structure is garbage and there was always some reason why management wasn't doing their job, or was causing stress. If management had their stuff together, it would have been an almost perfect job.

Pros

Pros are anyone who is not a Director or Team Leader are very solid people

Cons

They are going to outsource AP and AR and Accounting by end of 2025. People yell at each other, talk over each other, hang up on you. The team leaders and market presidents are the laziest i've ever worked with. the directors and vps are so out of their realm. Over promise and under deliver
