Pros

Decent work experience in an office.

Cons

Corporate can come off as money hungry. Scion is growing at a crazy rate and at times because it is now such a large company, it can feel as if you are simply a tool in bringing money rather than an employee of a company. Our property went through an acquisition in January of 2017 and we came onto The Scion Group. During this time there were a lot of empty promises that were made, but never followed through with. Each employee who had been working for the previous company for over a year was awarded a discount in rent, up to managements discretion. Every year we had reached 100% pre lease and were getting the job done so those employees who met the year mark and lived on property received this discount. When Scion aquired the property, each housing consultant subsequently had their discount revoked and found themselves paying market rate rent halfway through their lease term. Not only was every employee now forced to pay over $1000 more in rent than anticipated, commission for signed leases was lowered. To counteract with employee discounts being taken away Scion promised an incentive based commission program called J-Turner which would essentially be a $200 each month if a housing consultant maintained a touring rating of 9 or above. This program while promised multiple times, was ultimately never implemented.

Pros

*Constant support from multiple departments. *Ability to be promoted without having to relocate or be on the road all the time due to them owning multiple properties in the same market. *The culture is amazing. *Multiple touchpoints with different summits and training throughout the year. I have worked for 2 different companies in not only the student housing industry, but real estate as a whole. I can say with absolute certainty that The Scion Group is leaps and bounds above anyone in this space. The culture is very entrepreneurial in spirit and they strive to be the best. The growth of the company is a true reflection of the success the company has had, all while continuing to improve operational platforms and streamlining workflows. Student housing as a whole sees a lot of people bouncing around from company to company, but with The Scion Group, you see people staying around - that's not a coincidence. They are really building career paths for the team and I'm so excited that I made the decision to come and work for them!

Cons

No downsides to working here - only positive comments!
