Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive. In 2015, JBG offered CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Cons

Understaffed and chaotic office with overlapping job responsibilities. High turnover. Inadequate company procedure to address bedbugs and other pests, meaning angry residents and helpless staff. Many corporate platitudes, but little genuine responsiveness to employee frustrations.
