Pros

Overtime pay (even though overtime is mandatory during the move-out/in month)

Cons

- management was not helpful dealing with residents. we were yelled at all the time because the contracted cleaning company failed miserbaly to clean the rooms before the new move-ins came. - there was no communication from people that make decisions to us, the workers, or the residents. - a whole month of mandatory 10+ hour days, with no scheduled days off, sweating like crazy cleaning out apartments since the HIRED cleaning company did not do it, and I was even scrubbing current residents toilets as a leasing consultant.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely regret that your experience during the move-in/move-out season was so difficult and that you felt unsupported by leadership. 'Turn' is the most challenging time of year in our industry, but our goal is to ensure our team members feel supported through clear communication and better vendor oversight. Thank you for the dedication you showed to the residents during your time with us.

Leadership that genuinely cares about people and purpose — not just profit. Exciting mix of innovation and heart: you’ll find yourself part of a team that experiments boldly while staying grounded in strong values. Opportunities to grow fast if you show initiative; from AI tools to leadership programs, learning is everywhere.
