Pros

No pros to report, sorry.

Cons

Everyone was malicious and no matter how well I did my job, it was always at risk. They actually hate you more when your building residents like you. They just want you to promote their preferred vendors so they can get paid under the table, so when you pick the more reasonable vendor bc youre looking out for the building's budget, they hate you for this too. Achievements always go unnoticed unless youre kissing the higher ups a**es. The politics are next level - it's paralyzing. Watch your back at all times. Don't trust anyone. Stay quiet, do your work, look for another job, and get out before they fire you. Do not apply here, it's truly an awful work environment.

Pros

Great Support. Great management. Lots of vendor perks.

Cons

Very long hours. Must work to learn about all full cycle of audits, landscape, accounting, paving, reserve funding, public speaking, basic law, and keep current with new changes in HOA practices

Pros

Great company culture with strong core values and a collaborative environment. As a remote employee, the flexibility and work-life balance are a huge plus. The IT environment is also very dynamic — there are multiple systems, platforms, and technologies in use, so the work rarely feels repetitive or boring. The company is supportive of employee growth and development, offering training opportunities and access to a large online learning library. Another positive sign is the number of long-term employees; many people have been with the company for 5+ years, which says a lot about overall employee satisfaction and stability.

Cons

The company frequently changes business processes and technologies. While innovation is good, it can sometimes feel like just when you’ve fully mastered a system or workflow, a new tool or process is introduced. Workload can also fluctuate depending on business initiatives and project demands. Because it’s a large organization, there are a lot of layers of leadership — supervisors, managers, directors, VPs, etc. At times, it can be unclear who the correct point of contact or decision-maker is for certain situations.
