Pros

- They provide great training for new employees. - Fun work environment. - Manager is easy to communicate with and shows care in the employees. - You get to wear many different hats as a leasing agent so there is always something to do besides working with prospects. - Promotions from within. - Big emphasis on great customer service and brand value. - Great benefits for full time employees

Cons

- You may be required to commute to different properties to fill in the office duties. Some of those commute drives can take up to an hour. - Those who used to work till 5pm might not like the fact that some properties stay open till 7pm on week days. - Since the business is all about dealing with people, you will occasionally be working with some mildly to very unpleasant prospects and residents so you have to be able to quickly regain attitude and shake off negativity.

Thanks for your feedback! It's great hearing that your experiences with us have been positive overall. While requirements for commutes and hours can vary by community and by role it's important that we are doing our best to make sure that we strike a balance between our policies creating a positive customer experience and creating a positive employee experience, so please be sure to speak up to your Property Manager if you ever feel like we should consider tweaking the setup at your community. You're definitely correct that with just about any Venterra role there is the potential of needing to deal with upset folks. It's important that our employees are able to competently and confidently handle these situations while not internalizing any negativity. While this is the case with most customer service positions, we do our best (largely through the great training that you mention) to make sure our employees are as prepared as possible to handle this difficult situations. If you ever need any more guidance on this front be sure to speak up so we can help you out! Thanks for your intranet and Encasa suggestions, too! We'll be sure to pass them along. If you have any other ideas for us be sure to submit a Better Way! Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts and have a great day!

Pros

Venterra holds high standards and we also hold the same standards. This does not work for everybody. The ones that can work and maintain the high standards love it. Core values , training , compensation and my Venterra Family make it worth it.

Cons

I have no cons for Venterra. I was aware of the standards when I took the job.

Your review is much appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're glad to hear that our high standards are in line with yours. It's a combination that's sure to produce some great results into the future! Having a Core Value of "Candor and Openness" means it's also fantastic to hear that your expectations about the position have matched your experiences with us. Providing a review like this is a sure way to help do the same for others, too, so thank you again for finding a spare moment to do so. Have a great day!

like with every multifamily company I have worked for is not enough time in the day to complete task at hand. Would like to see some training that would give maintenance some certifications.

Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear that you're a fan of some of the initiatives that make us so unique and that you feel we're living up to our Leader Promise to "strive to promote from within!" Hopefully, our push for simplification of our processes throughout the company will help to alleviate some of the time crunch that you mention. We would love to hear any and all suggestions that you feel might help on this front, too! Regarding certifications, in an effort to fulfill our Leader Promise to "strive to ensure that you have the tools and resources you need to be successful" we actually have a couple of initiatives already in place that aim to address this. Please take a moment when you have a chance to check out the Training Department page on our intranet for details regarding the "Certification Assistance" and "Educational Reimbursement" Programs details. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
