Pros

Fair pay, very comfortable environment, happy coworkers. While this office can be laid-back, it can also be a fast paced environment so if you get too comfortable you will fall behind. You must be a self starter and not be intimidated to work a little out of your comfort zone. Use your brain -- THINK -- and be a problem solver. This job can push you, but it's nothing beyond anyone's reach. It's simple. The VP is extremely accommodating and respectful. We're a small close-knit office, so if you treat your coworkers like you treat your family, they will treat you like family. I love working here! Very happy and an overall rewarding experience.

Cons

Better coffee and bigger cups!

Pros

Many member company locations, so if you move can apply for jobs in other cities.

Cons

Employee contribution is not rewarded financially. Salaries may be decent, but not when you consider the number of hours worked (60+ every week, on call 24/7). There was pressure to make regular paycheck contributions to AssociaPAC when the CEO was running for re-election (he was a state senator, lost the last election after 25 years of holding the position). No respect of employees by management. Be prepared to compromise your integrity if you want to move up. The company is successful, but at the expense of its employees. The money goes into the owner's pocket, not back into well-deserved raises for community managers. The company is led by two very selfish men, father and son. The personal lives of both offer insight into why the company is led the way it is. I don't see it changing any time soon, as long as it remains a private company. Be prepared to pay for health insurance outside the company. Using Associa's plan comes with astronomical costs, especially for families. It's cheaper to buy the same plan directly from the provider.

Pros

Many locations for transferring to choose from.. Can look for a career path, but you may have to wait for it.

Cons

You are asked to do things you may find unethical. Low pay, too many assignments. Can have managers that are not well trained, and do things that are very unsavory.
