Pros

Working with elite people that are relentless on improving constantly, makes The Connor Group amazing! The culture is great with high accountability for all and a high reward and recognition program. We constantly improve today what we built yesterday! I've been pushed harder the last 2 years than ever before and I've accomplished more in the last 2 years than I accomplished in the last decade at my previous employer! The culture pushes you to always be your best and keep expecting more!

Cons

We always provide honest and direct feedback. You will always know what you are doing great and what you need to work on. This is not a con for me, but this can be a con for those that do not like direct feedback so they can always get better.

Pros

I learned about what I won't tolerate in the workplace, and as a result of working here, established my personal ethical guidelines for future jobs. You may learn to stand up for yourself as a result of this job. I learned that no amount of money is worth trading my self worth, and when to walk away, which is invaluable.

Cons

If you look through the positive reviews, you will see clearly that they are written in a way that protects the company from the actual bad reviews, and blame those who left or gave bad reviews, rather than acknowledge this is a soul-sucking place to work. ..."This job won't be for you if you don't work hard" i.e. passively positioning the bad reviewers as lazy, non motivated people, and thus invalidating their opinions. I think they call that method 'gas lighting'. Interestingly, this is the same strategy the management uses with their employees. If you have an issue or disagreement, YOU are the issue, and you will be shamed into feeling like not wanting to scam potential lessees or wanting to get the bonuses you've earned means there is something wrong with you, and 'you have bad work ethic' if you wish to be treated with respect. From what I saw, it is a trickle down effect- higher ups feel powerless, and overpower those below them, and so forth. An abusive and toxic company culture. This was my first 'real job' after college, and it felt like a big opportunity when I got hired. Reflecting on this experience, I asked myself what I wish someone had told me when I started: If you decide to work for them (or any company for that matter), listen to your gut, and ask yourself- does this feel off? Don't be afraid to leave- there are always more opportunities out there.

It is very unfortunate that you would not like to discuss this matter further. We strive to continue to make our company a great place to work as evident by the many positive reviews and testimonies. Doing the right this is one of our core values and we take very serious and look into any alleged accusations. As far as your comment on other reviewers, we cannot and do not control them nor do we know who leaves them, but we are absolutely candid in letting all candidates now we work hard and are looking for people to do the same. I am sorry to hear a career hear did not work out but wish you the best in the future. If you do change your mind and wish to discuss, feel free to call me at 937-434-3095. Thanks !

You'll feel gross

Pros

The base pay was great, commission was blah. You miss one month, and it halves your commission for the next 3 months. Even once you get past that, the commission isn't that great. The Google review pay was nice though. You will meet some great co-workers, but don't trust anyone. Everyone here gossips and lies to get in favor with management.

Cons

You have to be ok with getting literally screamed at and called names to work there. By management, by lead sales, by upper management when they visit. It's really normal to them to express things that way. Also, firing people quickly is the norm. You make one mistake you're out that day. There is no 2 weeks notice, if you try to give notice, they tell you to get out. I watched someone who made all their goals consistently for months get fired because they listened to one phone call she took (all your calls are recorded and reviewed) and didn't like that she was honest about the price ranges to the potential renters. You have to be ok with lying to people looking for an apartment, even if you know they can't afford it. Even if they are on disability you still have to lie about their ability to get approved to get their non refundable application fee. Honestly, working here made me feel like I had to take 3 showers every night to feel clean again.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We do have great pay and bonuses are amazing, but yes you do need to hit your goals to get a bonus. We do have very direct feedback but do not scream or name call. We would never terminate anyone who was consistently hitting goals based on a phone call unless they did something unethical on on a call which we have zero tolerance for. Thank you for your more than 1 year of service, obviously something changed recently as what you wrote (although non of it is aligns with how we actually operate) is not what a person would really feel nor would they stay for over a year. Would be happy to discuss what changed with you. 397-434-3095 - ask for Chris.
