Pros

The company provides great benefits. The Human Resources department is always ready and willing to help. The ability to grow within the company (to a certain degree) is also a plus.

Cons

The pay is not so great pay. The benefits help suffice the average at best pay but it doesn't negate the fact that other places pay more for less work/responsibilities.

Pros

-Insurance and tax deductible benefits are decent -It pays a decent salary if you are on-site.

Cons

-Used to be concerned with work/life balance when Merit. No longer the case. -Managers required to work overtime but do not get OT pay, even though they are technically not considered exempt. -Executive Management has no clue what Regional Management is doing. -No real support to on-site staff since recent VP was relocated to San Diego. New regional management team have little property management and customer service experience before being hired by company. -No positive re-inforcement and/team building. -Many changes since rebranding from Merit to First Service and many shady charges to Associations, etc. -Company values are not being followed by Regional Management. -Little to no growth in a region where growth is boundless. -Regional Mangement chooses not to invest in their employees with further education and accreditations. -Very high employee turnover. -Customer service to Boards and Association members has drastically declined. -Regional Team in Main Office are like the "mean girls". They sit in their office and gossip/complain about all their employees but offer little help.
