Pros

MAA is willing to give inexperienced talent an opportunity in the competitive leasing industry.

Cons

Older properties, constantly short staffed, leaks galore, transfer policy for residents is difficult, roaches, and bed bugs are at a lot of their properties. Having industry experience, I have never experienced any of these issues working at other management companies.

Pros

The help and training is abundant. Every single person you reach out to for help is welcoming and wants to help you. I never feel like I am bothering someone or feel belittled for asking questions. The training is second to none - and their online portals make everything streamlined for easy access to policies and procedures. MAA doesn’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk. My favorite thing about working for MAA is our core values. I can always trust that I am making the right decisions using the four core values. MAA is an inclusive company that really makes you feel like you are a part of a family. I started with MAA 6 years ago as a leasing manager and our community was sold. The MAA team was so supportive during the sale - which is rare to see in our industry. I eventually returned “home” as a property manager and I am looking forward to the rest of my career with the MAA family.

Cons

I have experienced no cons working at MAA.
