Pros

For the most part, you always know what to expect. Call after call, very scripted for the most part. You'll say you're in the "central(ized) leasing office" so many times you'll be saying it in your sleep -- literally. Decent, drama free work environment with the downside of a terrible, congested commute if you work the 9 to 5.

Cons

Little to no opportunity for promotion except in the "Career Path," which requires you to attend about 20 to 40 hours of unpaid class time while completing about double the reading time in preparation for each class...also unpaid. You do get a raise after moving up the career path, but it is often delayed due to needless bureaucracy. The bonuses you get for good performance are decent, but rare because good performance is defined as a score of anywhere from 95 to 100% on "shops" which are demanding team lead/QA assessments of your call performance, where you can fail simply by saying too many "uhs" or sounding a little under the weather, which brings up the flipside, you get placed on performance warning or an OTI - opportunity to improve. There are more acronyms here than the US military. In terms of truly being promoted and moving up in status vs. just getting a raise, there is little opportunity. Middle and upper management is very cliquish and it's a promote from within within (repetition intentional). People in those positions play musical chairs and gain new titles quickly.

Pros

Cubes are large and have sliding doors Relaxed dress code Salary was within industry norm

Cons

-"Good ol' boys club" is the best way to describe management -Management is demeaning and plays favorites -Management does not understand the term "soft skills" -Not flexible with scheduling - working from home is frowned upon -Location is out in the middle of nowhere -Expectation that you work 24/7 -Yearly user group which takes 2 months of planning and preparation, all while doing your "normal" duties; no time-off granted even though the user group begins on a Sunday -Ridiculous amount of unnecessary meetings, leaving no time to do your "normal" duties -Management does not understand the concept of work/personal balance -Must take PTO for ice storm days versus working from home -Market themselves as a software company yet no one in management has a true software background (they all come from property management). The one manager who had a software background was fired as he tried to improve the process which would have made others at his level look foolish -People crying due to how management treats them is normal and something you see on a daily basis -HR is not confidential -If you don't come the property management sector, you are an outsider -People do not respect one another -Lots of bottom feeders that have been with the company for many years that do nothing and they have been prompted to positions they are not qualified for simply because of number of years they had been with the company -Very unorganized -7 days of PTO a year (plus standard holidays) -Management uses intimidation as a way to get things done -If you don't have PTO and you get sick, you are fired (no way to borrow PTO or have an unpaid sick day) -Implemented a "must be to the office by 8am" rule in order to weed people out -Poorly integrated products and constant bug fixing because the developer talent is the bottom of the bottom as all the smart ones start finding a way out the first day they are there -Unable to retain talent as products are so bad (bug fixing, poor integration)

Work-Life Balance? What's that?

Pros

Excellent opportunity to excel if you try at all. Managment notices performers. Benefits are OK Decent vacation Your peers are likely great people, I know mine are.

Cons

Terrible HR policy Political environment, where you excel if you are liked, and if not, well... Insane levels of work Poor work-life balance. Most people work 50 minimum, and if you really want to get ahead, you should kiss the wife and kids goodbye for a while. This is for hourly and salary, I have seen both. Severe disconnect with senior managment, they may know what you are up to, but you really wouldn't be able to tell from their actions. Sink or swim environment Lack of best practices across the board Broken products make for very unhappy people and very long days. It also prevents significant progress since there isn't any time to get ahead, just to stay afloat.
