Beware

Business manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

They have a great referral bonus.

Cons

Extremely long hours, Business Manager or Property Accountant or whatever title they want to give it this time has no other person in their department to help with the workload for 814 units. You will be responsible for everything. There are three people to deliver packages and another three just for Customer Service, yet they will only hire one person to handle the finances. Does that seem reasonable to you? Oh yeah, and they won't pay you more than $55k.....for 814 units......with a Bachelor's degree. Are you serious? And they will keep adding more and more and more work.

Unfortunately, you've provided feedback to the wrong company. We are Optima, Inc. - a design-driven real estate development firm based on Glencoe, IL and Scottsdale, AZ - and we love cute pets.

HR Nightmare waiting to happen

Assistant supervisor
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced builder, attempting to stay on top of safety.

Cons

No bonuses, unrealistic production timelines set for the manpower, direct Supervisor was completely unprofessional, terrible at communicating, unwilling to take responsibility for his short comings and if he didn't like someone or a sub he would do everything to abuse that person or company.
