Pros

Going in the pay looked attractive based on the job description, however the job description was far from accurate and the pay doesn’t make up for the stress.

Cons

The demands are unrealistic. It’s all more, more, more and you never once get a thanks. I understand being a young company and trying to establish policy, but the treatment is inexcusable. It’s clear that the uppers have really no or very limited industry experience and even though they hire people lower that do, they don’t think to pool their resources and listen to the people they are paying to do a job. Instead they hire outside consultants and then rely on their own limited knowledge and constantly make changes that anyone with experience can see the gaps in before they are even executed. They are just throwing darts and bleeding money. It’s not possibly sustainable. I do not recommend working for this company, I have really nothing nice to say from my year with them. I have never been treated so poorly, never once even thanked for going above and beyond and was paid grossly under what my exact counterpart was paid, who had no credit Russ, limited experience simply because he was a man who flirted with the unattractive attention starved women higher up.

Not Worth It

Pros

Free food, Cute Office Decor

Cons

You DO NOT want to WORK for FirstKey Homes or RENT from them. The culture in the Cornelius NC office is TOXIC, UNPROFESSIONAL, UNETHICAL, EXHAUSTING, and EXCLUSIVE. The “LEADERSHIP TEAM” is WEAK, INCOMPETENT and UNTRUSTWORTHY. The HR team is a joke and doesn’t offer a safe, confidential zone. A very scary combination. Working here is depressing proved to be a very ineffective use of my time. If you are looking for a temporary job that is oversold and underpaid-as opposed to a career opportunity that will promote professional growth and a supportive, equal opportunity environment, look no further! This is a great fit for you! Otherwise, Do NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. You’re money and skills are good anywhere, don’t sellout. The good guy doesn’t finish last! May God have mercy on their souls and reward them according to their works
