Pros

Ever see the movie office space? This is it in real life. Worked from field supervisor up to RTM Director in less than a year. The higher you go the less work that you do. By this I mean you get tied down in meeting after meeting and lunch after lunch to discuss what you already know. Great benefits and if your smart you get away early every Friday so you have time off.

Cons

The HR department is a joke. They actually have subordinates spy and report on the management. Your management team will be replaced every year or at max 18 months. This is due to failure of company leaders to hit goals. You will be blamed and out the door you go. I left and within 6 months new regional President was fired. Told him the day I left he would never make it. The lack of professionalism in the office is the down fall. The new resource manager has family working on IH homes and previous employee has all the cleaning. This is against the rules but there is no management anymore. If you are in management never try to help a subordinate especially if opposite sex as you will be bought in by HR and accused of sexual misgivings. The whole issue with IH is the leasing department from the President all the way down still blames Rehab Dept. for their failure to keep units occupied and stay at 70%. Even when they know that the homes are now over priced and tenants are moving over to smaller better run companies. IH better wake up as this market starts to fall so will the funds that are financing this beast..

Pros

Compensation. Bonuses. Holiday pay. Benefits. Team building days. office parties.

Cons

If you are unbothered and don't get stressed out easily - go for it. I could not. little training. quantity over quality. constant sense of urgency. never feeling accomplished or that tasks were completed. mostly dealing with angry residents. responsibilities plus the phone queue was unmanageable. one or the other please. constant policy changes and having to explain that to residents.
