Pros

-Most properties you work are not super busy so you have free time to yourself throughout the day -you can become property manager and get free onsite living but your pay goes down -As long as you get your work done then you don’t have to worry about someone supervising you closely in person -not too much walking or too much physical stress besides when someone leaves something big on property you may have to move or ask for help -opportunity for a monthly $150 if your store(s) do well

Cons

-there isn’t much opportunity to move up the company at all and there’s mot much room for promotions as well -long days -not all offices have a break room, fridge or microwave which is annoying for lunch -you’re usually by yourself in the office so it can beget boring and you have to call someone for help if you’re confused or need back up -they underpay!!! -rude and crazy customers who freak out over small things and people who try to live in units, etc -I reported an employee for being overtly racist and nothing happened. Certain employees get away with anything if they do their job or work their long enough

Pros

Lots of freedom to do the job as you see fit, with little to no direct oversite. A position of trust that requires integrity and work ethic.

Cons

The pay is mediocre. The company doesn't get maintenance done because if too much of the budget is spent, the regional manager won't get their bonus. And that includes work needed on the employee apartments. When maintenance IS done, its done by the lowest bidder with shoddy workmanship and patch jobs that dont last. PS is too concerned about the bottom line.
