Pros

The freedom to run your business - with their support and guidance is parallel to none. I am on my second year working for Cortland Partners. I have been in the Multifamily Rental & Sales business for over a decade and never have I felt more empowered to run the communities I manage more than at Cortland. Sure you have guidelines - parameters - branding - changes - growth - etc... But think about this... What do we all (those that are looking to excel) want ??? .... to run our own business, right?! Or maybe at least have freedom to run it like we own it.... Well at Cortland Partners, you get just that - but with the support of a multi-million dollar company!

Cons

You will love your job so much - that you won't leave when the doors lock & the lights are turned low. (In exchange you'll easily be allowed to leave early the next day though - so I kind of see this as a pro)... But remember, you get manage that too!

Thank you for the awesome review – we love hearing how empowered you feel working with Cortland! We always want to give our associates the tools they need to feel like they are running their own business, and it feels great knowing how well that’s received and put into action by our associates! We find that by hiring the right people and helping to set them up for success, it’s a win-win for all because, as you mentioned, we all want to excel. And yes, we have already started using 360-degree feedback on our leaders, so they can better understand how their direction is received from teammates of all levels. Thank you for the suggestion, though! And thank you very much for sharing the love – we promise it’s mutual!
