Pros

Some of my coworkers were productive, helpful and friendly. I am really struggling to come up with pros to describe my experience with this company. In the 6 months I was there, I kept hoping I'd find something worth sticking it out for.

Cons

They will say anything to get a qualified/experienced person through the door. Make sure you get everything in writing. They will lie about what properties in your area have openings - They needed an experienced APM at a property in a terrible area so they told me the position I'd applied for (5 minutes from where I live, in a safe neighborhood) was no longer available. After I accepted the other job, I saw on the internal job listings that the other position was, in fact, still open. There were also two other APM positions at properties I would have preferred. Pay is not competitive, even when commissions are factored in. On my second day of work I was told to "figure it out" by the manager (who was on his personal cell phone talking to a friend about football) regarding a prospect who needed a tour. I didn't have keys, availability, etc. I saw three separate people violate fair housing laws my first week. By three separate employees. Each property is different, so I guess just make sure to really check out the property, get a feel for the people working there, and check out the comps before you accept a position.

Pros

Pay with housing discounts tend to be better than competition

Cons

Severe negatives if you plan on taking any type of leave of absence. While they are required to allow the leave, (my experience) has been that if retaliatory since it adds additional work load to those in your group (your boss). I’ve experienced this personally, and have seen it with other managers in my group. You will start to receive write ups that you never had before, micro managed, and/or fired after such things. I went from discussing promotions before my leave started to becoming ineligible for rehire after taking state protected LOA.
