Thank you for taking the time to complete a review of our organization. We are happy to see that you are satisfied with your compensation as well as your work schedule! As our company grows the dynamic of this change requires that we look outside our organization for new associates at times. We are committed to developing our associates for promotion within, whenever possible. At CWS Apartment Homes, we encourage our associates to grow with us! We strive to create career paths for each associate that we hope will translate into long and fulfilling careers.

Management only cares about revenue

Business Outlook

Pros

Closed on Sundays, career apparel card, nice rental discount, video shop bonus incentive of $1,000, fully paid training, nice raises.

Cons

Management only cares about revenue, the managers gossip way too much, back stabbing and biased within the managers, low pay, managers are never present at work so they don't truly see what goes on, bullying from management (they don't lead as leaders).
