Pros

Can't think of a single one.

Cons

Their business model? Buy a property in a not good neighborhood but that isn't too far from a really good neighborhood and market it as being in the good neighborhood that it isn't in while simultaneously raising the rent far out of what the market supports, ripping the entire place apart inside and out for renovation in a manner that creates a war-zone like appearance all while non-renewing every resident on the property...then blame the onsite staff for the drop in occupancy. Oh, and about those claims of all the 'advancement opportunities' they will dangle in front of you to get you to accept the job? In 7 months with the company I never once saw an announcement of anyone being promoted...EVER. What I did see were all the announcements that so & so was no longer with the company, and the references to the people who had been 'invited to leave'. I didn't wait around for my invitation, because I couldn't wait to hit the door!

Pros

Growing company, room for growth and opportunity, game changer and awesome properties. Awesome commission and bonus structure with plenty of focus on the employee

Cons

Lack of structure and implemented policies and procedures. Still learning as a very small company. Very high turnover in upper management positions which presents questions for staff

Pros

The commision pay was great and the people I worked with were awesome. My manager was very helpful and really encouraging.

Cons

The biggest turnoff was that there was no room for growth. Eventhough I was only working part-time and didn't plan to be with the company long term. My fellow co-workers always stressed this issue.
