Pros

- The ability to generate additional income with commission. - Maintenance overview and training on the properties. - Multiple positions on the communities are great for single people and students. For the most, The Scion Group has a flawless system and order laid out for employees to follow. From a prospective tenant touring to closing the deal, the company ensures that community staff and management are on the same page. They focus on providing great housing, services, and events to residents, but have poor execution methods as communities are given no direction. With a strong financial background, the company is stable which ensures stability for long-term employees. The company is on the right track of success, but it needs to be wary of those leading certain areas.

Cons

- Commission is not enough to warrant motivation. - Favoritism starting from employees to the preference of the communities. - Expectation vs reality from corporate big-wigs is truly off point. - During the "turn" season, working hours are high so be careful and be aware of being taken advantage of. Some labor laws are definitely violated. The company is adding communities to their portfolio at an alarming rate, which definitely affects the quality of staff, management, and maintenance. "Spreading itself too thin" is the best analogy I can give this company, because it has the resources to prosper but it is putting quality in jeopardy. Many communities have suffered throughout their renovation periods, forcing residents to feel over-promised and under-delivered. Staff tends to change quickly, putting a high "turn over" rate in many positions. This could be a result of various factors, but the trend seems to be overworked schedules with unrealistic expectations. Occasionally, the corporate office sends "experts" to their communities for guidance, but they usually end up creating more confusion for residents and staff. Be careful who you fraternize with, as this can also make your experience unpleasant.

Pros

Great class A properties and on site living an option!

Cons

You won't get promoted unless you are sleeping with someone or are married to someone in the company. They do NOT pay well and you will work in the same position for 7 years before getting promoted...unless you spread your legs that is. The men in the company are pigs, one open slept with a woman, she got promoted! I know several property managers who slept with corporate jerks who got promoted too. Sad glad I left before working there long!

The Scion Group Response
10y
It is unfortunate this review was posted with no prior effort to make The Scion Group aware of the reviewer’s impression that advancement is based on inappropriate relationships. We would have gladly demonstrated the claim to be false. Although we do employ some married couples, these employees were married or engaged before we hired them; it certainly has not been a factor in promotions. We have extraordinary team members who demonstrate dedication, creativity and intelligence – these are what earn promotions. Advancement and relocation opportunities are made available to team members who demonstrate measurable achievement. They are not granted by any one person, but through a management team review of each person’s merit. We always welcome any concerns about perceived impropriety be brought to our attention so that we can investigate thoroughly and take proper action if needed. We’re proud of our high ethical standards and our positive company culture, and that will continue. Kate Cassidy, Director of Human Resources
