Corporate culture of fear

Pros

Compensation. There is no other reason. Those who remain give a pound of flesh to remain and are compensated for it.

Cons

At the corporate level, employees have to subvert themselves to the culture and remain vigilant in being on guard from one another. VERY political without cause. Not a place for development personally, professionally, or otherwise. You endure this place versus being enhanced by it. If you take a position there, then remain low profile at all times. Observe the behavior of your peers and try to understand how and why they have become as such. Model them as long as you have to while you search for a better place. Better place DO exist.

Pros

A certain amount of discipline was instilled and time passes easily with attention to details.

Cons

With the amount of revenue the managers produced, more should be re-invested toward deferred property maintenance. Very critical downsides concerning maintenance....

Pros

Good customer relations opportunities in the job as I enjoy liasing with customers

Cons

No career growth. Poor poor pay at $8.50 an hour. Not one scrap of overtime allowed. Ever. No education required t do job, therefore if you have an education it is not use at all. My previous experience is being wasted away with this job. If I become a Property Manager, I get a 50cent raise.....We are so below poverty level that we can't afford to get to work sometimes! Certainly cannot afford to live on my own. My raise after year one was 13cents. Why don't they just slap me in the face? I am actively looking for a job that I can you my education and experience and not waste my time. You work EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND....even if you have to sit there from 9:30 to 5 doing absolutely nothing because there is absolutely no business. I have wasted many many Sundays doing nothing cuz no one comes in. As a matter of fact, I didn't even unlock the front door on one Sunday cuz I knew no one would even show up. And I was right. I am so glad I can use my skills in this company.........waste of time. 10 to 2 on Sundays was at least a small glimmer of hope to enjoy life with your family who work normal times. But they took that away too.
