Pros

- Industry standard pay - Benefits - Work life balance

Cons

Venterra has some of the worst management I have ever worked for. They are toxic. Employees are frequently belittled by management, forced to do things outside of the scope of their job descriptions, and often take on some of the workload from management. Management is hardly present on the property during the workday. The cost of living adjustments are atrocious and you are capped on pay, despite not making enough at that pay rate to comfortably lease an apartment from Venterra. Commission structure for leasing units is well below the market rate. Even if you make Venterra a million dollars, you are barely compensated.

I’m disappointed to read the review, but we appreciate you taking the time to share it. Our compensation ranges are adjusted regularly based on regional industry benchmarking reports and we’ve recently increased leasing commissions to help ensure we’re offering competitive pay, we certainly understand that there can sometimes be a difference between expectations in pay and reality. For this reason, we encourage candid conversations on the topic with supervisors whenever necessary. That said, productive dialogue of any type requires a great relationship with a leader equipped with the right skills and a passion for creating a great employee experience. I’m concerned about feedback, and would like an opportunity to learn a little more. If you’re open to a one-on-one conversation, I’d like to encourage you to reach out to me by phone (905-717-8624) or by email (rroos@venterraliving.com). Alternatively, EthicsPoint (https://bit.ly/3stiJsA) remains a resource to anonymously report concerns that need to be brought to our attention and actioned. Again, thank you for providing the review and for any additional information you’re able to share when you have an opportunity.

Pros

Company allows for responsibility to make a change. Everyone is extremely pleasant to work with, and leadership allows for opportunities to grow with the organization. There is no limit to what you can do here to make an impact. I could not love a company more to work for.

Cons

Only negative I can think of is I wish the company offered more benefits. They seem a little limited compared to other companies.

Pros

Built an incredible, skilled, and caring on-site team. The residents were wonderful to work with, and my team worked tirelessly to support them.

Cons

Complete lack of leadership, onboarding, and corporate support. I was placed in charge of a portfolio asset with systemic, expensive structural repairs that directly impacted resident health and quality of living. Instead of receiving corporate resources, regional management expected me to use unapproved, half-assed methods to "band-aid" these serious issues. When I refused to comply with these unsafe methods to protect the residents, I was immediately and unceremoniously terminated over a Zoom call under a vague guise of "miscommunication." This company would rather silence managers and lie to their investors than admit to real property failures and address them competently. They will happily let you sacrifice your own health, well-being, and personal finances for a property, only to throw you away when you stand up for what is right.
