The Scion Group reviews

First let me inform all of you that these “great” reviews are fake. During summits there is an employee that goes around handing out business cards begging people to post positive reviews on Glassdoor. 1)Turnover- HOLY MOLY the turn over rate for this company is horrible. It’s almost comical. Don’t get too attached to your coworkers they won’t last. 2) Company is growing so quickly and they don’t have the support to substain the growth. Think of it like this you have a cup of marbles the cup can only hold so many marbles, however you keep adding more and more marbles to the cup to where they keep overflowing and falling on the floor. This company is the Roman Empire. 3) Unrealistic Expectations- You better hope that you are in a market that is easy to lease your property up. If you are under YOY you are going to get literal hell from your regional and marketing coordinator. 4) No work/home life balance- This company literally thinks that this job is your life. If you aren’t meeting expectations get use to working every weekend and don’t expect to get a day off during the week. I worked 22 days in a row before a day off. This wasn’t even including turn. Oh and no extra pay for this either. Salary is so much fun. That’s how they get you. 5) They don’t like you they fire you- you pretty much have to be a robot and not have an opinion of your own. You pretty much have to agree with everything that your higher up says. If you don’t like it don’t speak up. This gets you fired. 6) if you aren’t leasing it’s your fault- I came from a VERY saturated market. New properties were coming up left and right. This made it VERY difficult to produce results. Everything was always our fault if we didn’t sign over 35 contracts in a week. Back to that whole unrealistic expectations. 7) Corporate is very inefficient- they give directors about 20 + properties. Getting ahold of anyone in higher up is pretty much impossible. They travel and they get so many emails it’s useless sending one to them or your regional. If you do they will make you feel really bad about not already knowing the answer. Also the people in corporate are really rude to the staff at the property level. 8) there are other companies- trust me on this. Stay FAR FAR away. 9) There is favoritism- if you aren’t best friends with your higher ups you won’t get promoted. I’m not talking about your GM either I’m talking about the corporate staff members. Kiss their butts that’s the only way to make more money or get promoted. 10) Lack of training- just know that the policies in this company are STRICT. You must do everything and I mean EVERYTHING exactly to scion policy. If not you will be in big trouble. Might I add they don’t give new employees much training. I was a CA then a HC then a RSM worked for this company for almost 3.5 years and it’s taken every year for me to learn the “Scion Way” of doing things. RUN RUN RUN. DONT WORK HERE

Corporate office is constantly making mistakes (and laugh them off) but consistently tells property staff to "speak intellectually at all times". Company grew exponentially last year without growing its corporate office. It's IT and operations departments cannot properly assist all properties making the day to day harder for on-site support. Revenue managers constantly demanding you be an "expert in your market" but don't take your advice or opinion (even when they've never been to your property or market). All of their properties have a bad reputation and the corporate office is primarily concerned with money, not resident well being or property safety. It's all about the paychecks. There's constantly new rumors of sexual harassment within the company though nothing has ever been proven. They also violate fair housing left and right. They encourage their properties to overbook on leasing and then lie when this backfires. They offer secret "unadvertised" specials to certain people solely based on whether the prospect is willing to sign a lease. Their corporate office seems to strive to catch their property workers doing something wrong as they only ever show up for surprise visits. All of this plus the fact that at my first corporate summit, I kept being made aware of "rumored sexual harassment" by men in the corporate office, made me leave this company.
