Do Not Work For SWR

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

I got to meet and work with a lot of great people. They typically promote within.

Cons

Not enough training provided. Heavily micromanaged. Very disrespectful upper management/corporate employees. Invasion of privacy with the cameras and audio, makes for a very uncomfortable environment. The regional managers do not know how to use MRI, Nexus or any of the other marketing sites. They do not know how to do the reports they require weekly. They make promise after promise to better your property and it never happens, then they continue to raise the rent when you already have low occupancy. They literally set you up to fail. I knew SWR didn't have a good reputation when I started working for them, but I stayed loyal because they were the first PM company to take a chance on me, and get my foot in the door. Then, after they used me to clean up a horrible property, worked me to death, they fired me.

Pros

Nothing, We'll I guess some people at corporate office are nice to you but then again I think they were being fake nice.

Cons

Where to start...... first my regional manager was awful. She was hired after I was and I learned real quick how to do things and she didn't know how to do alot and she hated to have to ask me so in her little ways she would ask me but she would make sure that she took credit for everything. She was also rude, disrespectful, racist, and verbally abusive. I tried contacting Corporate about her and they told me to try to handle it myself. I tried and it only made things worse so then I tried talking to HR amd HR just went behind my back and told her exactly what I said, so that made it even worse. So I worked there another couple of months at this point running 2 properties with no help. Finally they fired me once they were done using me for my knowledge of the properties. I would never work for this company again. They do not care about their employees nor do they care about their reaidents, ( there is so much i could talk about on this as well) they only care about making money.

Pros

Russell & the owners mean well by residents.

Cons

They are blind to the "un-touchables" that are ruining their company. Everyone knows and refers to the poisonous employee as the "un-touchables" and others have been warned to "let things go".
