Pros

I have worked at FirstService Residential (FSR) for 4 years and can honestly say that it is an amazing place to work. I originally started in this company as an On-Call Concierge on our Property Services side of the company. I quickly fell in love with the culture and brand. After about 7 months I was promoted to a live-in Building Manager in our Investment Properties side of the company. I gained many valuable skills while being taught that side of the industry. FSR is also paying for my education to get my Property Management License. One thing I love about the culture at FSR is their investment in their own employees. They genuinely care and strive to create a great place to work. After 2 years in our Investment Properties division, I was promoted to an Area Manager back in our Property Services division. I am currently still serving in this role. My direct supervisor is amazing and has been a huge mentor for my professional development. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Cons

Nothing of note to share here.

Pros

At the time, I was working overnight at a condominium, and the quiet environment gave me the opportunity to focus on my schoolwork since there was very little activity throughout the building. The team I worked with was incredible, they made me feel like I was part of a family, which made the job even more enjoyable and rewarding.

Cons

Working the graveyard shift can significantly affect a person's sleep schedule and overall sleep quality.

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.
