Pros

They aren’t going to fire you bc they need the help. Everyone is leaving and if they haven’t already- they are looking for better opportunities. Jumps on board with tuition reimbursement, parental paid leave, + 2 additional holidays trying to compete with other student housing places who already offered this.

Cons

-Pay is either fought for or considerably low. They do not pay on site bonuses (so don’t expect that when you see it in your offer letter). -Does not pay bonuses per lease/renewals -Does not offer housing concessions -DOES NOT PROMOTE -No room for growth unless you get in with the right people in Corporate -Does not listen to on site staff, will send out surveys and check ins but as far as what they do with the info, idk. -Centralized sales team members in Chicago to help lease property can either be great or not depending on the sales person, manager, and other staff you get -They have had so much turnover and change in portfolios that you never know how long you will work with a person

Employee friendly, personable management, tons of opportunities for growth, financially stable private company, extremely knowledgeable management and employees, understanding of life happening.

Prefer in office rather than hybrid or remote, benefits tiered more to young single employees than for experienced or longer career employees.

Pros

Competitive bonus compensation Good benefits package Good comradery with fellow GM/PM's

Cons

Zero upwards accountability for management past the site level Horrific HR department that makes it impossible to hold reports accountable Favoritism is rampant and will destroy jobs Claims a culture of "Go-Getters" when in reality they say this to abuse your work-life balance to the highest degree COO is completely out of touch with his workforce and makes changes off of vibes
