Thank you for providing your review. So glad to hear that your time on the team has been as positive as it has! While we like hosting onsite resident events regularly to have a little extra fun and to build bonds within our communities, there’s no set cap on the number that can be held, so if you have any specific ideas on events that might be a hit with your residents, please be sure to bring them up to your Community Manager. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience here, and please don’t hesitate to speak up or submit a Better Way if you do spot any areas for improvement in the future.

Pros

As other reviewers have noted, Venterra and the majority of its properties seem to be great places to work. Unfortunately I can't attest to this. Everyone else seems to have fun and love their jobs. There seems to be great communication and camaraderie.

Cons

Corporate and other properties seem great, but I happen to work at a property that is not so great. I was hired before the management of the local complex in Dallas came on board so I was not able to meet and evaluate if the management style would be a fit for me, as well as I for them. It turns out it's not. Management is extremely antisocial, but does turn on the social smile for upper management or important people when they come into the office. Intimidation tactics with the staff, especially maintenance staff, are used and lacks a general friendly atmosphere. Mistakes are a big no-no. If you make a mistake, like I have being new to the industry, there are no conversations with me to correct me, instead corporate meetings with regionals are call (as if it's a repeat offense) and instead of "coaching" there is blame and reprimand. Overall, the morale is low, to the point where every other person who was working at the Dallas property resigned because of leadership and management style.

While we appreciate you taking the time to share your review, I’m sorry to read that your experience with onsite management has been so negative. We want employees across our portfolio to enjoy the positive aspects of our company culture that you mentioned equally, regardless of region or community. The management style as described here is definitely not in-line with our expectations for our Experience Leaders. When you have an opportunity I’d like to discuss your experiences in more detail, so we can ensure we’re taking any necessary steps to prevent current or future employees on the team from feeling the same way you have. Please reach out to me directly by phone (905-717-8264) or email (rroos@venterraliving.com) as soon as you have an opportunity. Thank you in advance and again for providing the feedback here.

The people were mostly wonderful. I met some very good friends through Venterra. Also, the annual kickoff party is really fun!

Corporate was disorganized. Information was not always relayed in a timely manner to the onsite teams.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and I’m glad your time with the company was positive overall. We definitely have got some amazing individuals on our teams and I’m happy that you had an opportunity to form friendships with a number of them! Striving to be an industry leading organization means rolling out changes and new initiatives fairly regularly, and although our goal is to do so in a smooth, methodical, and streamlined way, there is definitely always room for us to do better. Hearing feedback from people like yourself is critical to making that happen, so if you have any specific examples or suggestions where you felt we might be able to improve on this front, I’d love to connect with you to discuss. Please feel free to reach out to me directly when you have a moment to chat. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts here and best of luck in your future endeavors!
