Pros

Diversity within the community residents and direct deposit are the only pros and that's being nice

Cons

Training is a joke. They send you to Austin for a week and you learn basic bland generic common sense information which helps you for about 20% of the actual job. The management team cares about numbers but the actual leading team who work daily for those numbers. There is never a "job well done" but a you're doing this wrong fix it ! Very unethical in the way some employees,residents, and prospects are treated. Management prequalifies people before they even sit down to ask for leasing information. HR is a joke and never gets back with you. Upper management will never return calls until it's too late. You are forced to attend all resident events even when management decides to leave early. I'm glad I left it was a horrible experience.

We wanted to take a moment to thank you for your candid feedback. We are saddened that your experience while a team member was a negative one. We are glad to see that you did appreciate some of our technologies such as direct deposit. One of our core values is a “Respect for People”, what that means to us is simple; we treat all people that we interact with in any capacity fairly and with respect. You mention under the “Pros” that our communities reflect diversity. This is only possible by treating each person fairly and without prequalifying. The Training Department and Human Resources are a great support to the onsite team, we invest time and dollars to train associates for a week as well as on going courses being offered weekly. Our Human Resource Department continuously monitors turnover rates and conducts exit interviews to make us better at being a great management company. We sincerely appreciate your input and will strive to make each associate’s experience a positive one

Workload and expectations can be high at times, especially during busy seasons. Growth opportunities may feel limited depending on location or leadership. Some inconsistency in communication from upper management.
