It's alright

Property manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of downtime and Independence, it's not a hard job just a lot of cleaning and paperwork. Customers are sometimes an issue but generally pretty pleasant. The breaks are infrequent and Hard to abide by. Shifts are always available. Management is fair from what I see

Cons

Upwards movement is very political. The job is sometimes questionable in its practices, break-ins are frequent and hard to deal with. when cleaning bugs are frequent, bad customers are worse than other jobs in retail or customer service equivalents

Good position, good company, awfully quiet most of the time

Business Outlook

Pros

The coworkers I had were all incredibly supportive, patient, and quick to help when needed. Pay was fair and the job's tasks themselves aren't all that challenging for the avg. person

Cons

Working at multiple different locations in your district in the same week. Most of the more tenured staff live on site in apartments on property or have a "home store" so they only work at one location, so if you're new you'll be what's called a "Relief Manager" and cover properties on the days the residential manger is off. That parts not so bad, but in the district in which I worked I could be at a property that was 8-10 minutes away from me, and the next day one that was 45 minutes away.
