Pros

Set schedule Set daily activities You work alone Not much micro-managing depending on your DM In the office majority of the time

Cons

Dealing with the irate customers Having to make harassing phone calls to collect payments You are responsible for the entire property, grounds and all If you are a relief manager be prepared to behave a certain with with all the property managers, each property manager does their own thing differently Training doesn't really stop, as 2 weeks is not enough time to learn all the processes They expect you to use scripts that corporate makes, but corporate probably has never dealt with an irate customer who is being evicted/kicked out of their home High pressure sales tactics to sell merchandise
