Pros

The Company Benefits and Salary

Cons

Absolutely no support from management or upper management, hard work goes unrecognised & you are encouraged to lie and fraudulently fill out paperwork by line mangers and community managers all so they get their 10% bonus! Unqualified maintenance staff carrying out electrical repairs & installations (illegal) Staff using apartments after hours to host staff get togethers etc. One manager even went to a party in a residents apartment after a work event & then left belongings in there No room for career progression & very minimal training even when asking for it on numerous occasions. Staff moral is at rock bottom, 0 respect from management Overtime goes unpaid and you get looked down on for asking to take that time back A lot goes on behind closed doors & all gets swept under the carpet
