Pros

Benefits are competitive within the industry.

Cons

If you enjoy getting bullied out of your job then this is the place for you! I have never been in a position, until this job, where I witnessed upper management call staff working under them, mocking and and talking poorly about other staff members. When you complain to HR, you will get fired. If you don't complain and endure the bullying from fellow team members, you will get thrown under the bus for things you didn't do. When you stand up for yourself, you get told by your supervisor 'if you don't like it, then just quit'. There is absolutely no employee recognition either. Worked there for multiple years and only one small raise, less than the cost of living yearly increase. Absolutely no room for growth or promotions within the investment properties side of the company.

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.
