Pros

- Depends on your manager, but I was fortunate to have had great experiences with my managers and my team - Basic Medical benefits are $0 for the team member after 3 years of service - Student living or Senior housing is the place to be as a CM, would not suggest conventional

Cons

- If you’re a CM, don’t expect to be able to move departments unless you want to be an RPM. Even then, they’ll hire most RPMs from the outside. - Employees stay because of the team, not because of the company. The downside to this is that when a manager leaves, the team can quickly lose faith and motivation which often leads to as mass exodus of a team. - Accrued PTO (just give a set # of days from the start of the year) - Do not expect to have a work life balance. Especially if you go on vacation, you’ll still need your laptop and expectations are that you will respond and answer your phone. - Salary is weak. You could go to another mgmt company for more. - Mgmt of COVID response was awful

Pros

They pay you well and give good benefits.

Cons

They will work you to the bone, abuse you emotionally, manipulate you, talk down on you, and throw you out the moment you aren’t taking any of it. They work you your normal hours and then 30-50 overtime hours in that same two weeks. They don’t care for their employees well being, only the results they get the client. Even if it’s at the expense of your health, safety, or mental status. Management is like a giant frat and sorority opened a business. You can’t ask for help they’ll retaliate, you can’t ask for relief or they’ll retaliate, you can’t have issues otherwise they’ll retaliate. Do not work here even for the money or benefits, they will work you to death and then prop your corpse up to work more. If you value your personal time, mental health, and over all well being. God forbid you want to leave your building and management doesn’t want you to, ask for a transfer and they will rain down write ups on you. You are owned by the client if you work for this company. Modern day indentured servitude. DO NOT WORK FOR THEM.
