Pros

Let me give a little insight to my employment back ground with this company. I worked for this company when it first open its doors, but had many personal issues with family and finances and left after working for the company for 2 years. It was very difficult to leave and had many offers to stay, but I chose to leave. I have returned after many years and after many other employers and I am here to tell you that Independence Village is a company that truly believes in caring for their employees and residents. Independence Village is currently growing in leaps and bounds, but they are making changes for the employees along the way to assist with the growing pains. I believe that this company is in it for the long haul and if you are looking for a company to grow and advance with, this is the one for you!! I have never worked for a company that supports and values their employees opinions and views this much.

Cons

We are currently going through some growing pains, but are still being supported and heard.
