Pros

Working as a Leasing Consultant at Cortland was a valuable experience that helped me grow both professionally and personally. The company places a strong emphasis on training, customer service, and creating a high-end resident experience, which really sets it apart from many other property management companies. One of the biggest positives is the company culture. Cortland promotes teamwork, accountability, and a people-first mindset. Leadership is generally supportive, and there are clear expectations when it comes to performance and resident satisfaction. The training programs are well-structured and give you the tools needed to succeed, especially if you’re newer to the industry. Cortland is a great place to build a foundation in property management and sales. If you’re motivated, goal-oriented, and thrive in a structured, high-performance environment, you’ll likely do very well here.

Cons

One area that could be improved is internal processes and communication.

Pros

The care the company gives its employees is fantastic: tools for advancement, in house counseling, emphasis on personal health and volunteering... they want to see you succeed

Cons

The workload is constant, going from a constant stream to a firehose. It's doable, but slow days are rare.
