As you can see from the many posts on our Glassdoor site, your experience differs greatly from most of our teams' experiences. If at any time in an employee's time with us the experience isn't what is expected, there are many people you can go to who will listen and address your concerns. We are a very flat organization and we do listen, as we do care. To address your concern regarding pay, many factors go into what someone's hourly rate will be, for your example, part-time employees do not get benefits, weekend hours, or PTO, so naturally their hourly rate might be a bit higher.
As for construction delays, yes, that is our business and it does happen. I am glad you worked through the delays and saved your leases. Most companies have a policy of not paying out leases for those who have not moved in, as the prospect could cancel after an employee leaves. Creating positive relationships and planning are excellent skills in any work environment, but certainly, in construction, they do go a long way to keep things moving civilly.
As for schedules, if an employee wants a four-day weekend, they may request a schedule that includes working several days straight, but if the employee prefers, they can use PTO or go without pay rather than request an extended schedule. We are very flexible and accommodating on employees' schedules, as we know there are always things that come up. We never mandate an employee's schedule. Also, we ask employees if they would like to work overtime before we bring in temps, as we would rather have someone working the extra time who already knows the property, rather than a temp. We are always open to suggestions, but we put our employees first.
Your comments about micro-managing, but not giving enough guidance on uniforms are confusing and contradicting. We have a uniform policy and the Regional Manager confirms that the proper pieces are selected for the season.
We are a very transparent organization. Again, the comments you have made about the health of the organization, and overall fairness are inconsistent with our values and as you can see here on Glassdoor, do not align with others' opinions.
If there was employee turnover on your team, perhaps we should look more closely at hiring employees who understand the intensity of a lease-up and the expectations coming into it. We do pay great commissions, but there is much work to do on a brand-new property. Many leasing consultants would jump at the opportunity to work on one.
Regardless, we wish you all the best in your future and hope you find the perfect match in an employer. We appreciate your feedback.
