Pros

Weekends off, paid holidays, nothing else but I apparently have to have more than 4 words and a comma.

Cons

Start your day at 7:30 in the morning and for the next 8 hours, question why you're still working at Invitation Homes. Your average work day will consist of various enthralling activities including (but not limited to): responding to e-mails from confused vendors and angry tenants, attending yet another pointless meeting where the entire office is told exactly how terrible they are at their jobs, wondering how your boss got his/her job in the first place considering he/she has the cognitive ability of a fence post, and spending at least half the day trying to remember what your life was like before the mind-numbing black hole of despair that is Invitation Homes. Management is terrible, they treat their employees like dirt. Other employees will constantly throw each other under the bus to avoid being blamed for something they are personally at fault for. Also, don't ever expect a raise. The salaries aren't exactly terrible, but you will be doing far more work than you will be compensated for. Don't expect much over-time either, they frown upon that very much. They will hire just about anyone who comes in for an interview regardless of qualifications. There is basically no training period either. You get hired on a Monday and you're thrown into the water with no life jacket by that following Friday.

Pros

The job i did was great! i loved the responsibility and freedom to come up with creative solutions.

Cons

Invitation Homes doesn't care about its employees. They hired a ton of people to rehab all their homes so they could get them on the market. As soon as they were done they laid off every rehab department across the country, in all 13 markets. The only thing IH cares about is bulking up its portfolio and selling its stock on the markets. It a blood sucking company that will chew you up and spit you out. They are renting these houses above market value saying they are "newly renovated" but the work is bad and the materials are even worse. They would even fight tooth and nail not to pay the contractors for the work they ALREADY did. Do not work for this company.

Pros

There's usually some kind of free food/potluck every other month. There's a lot of chit-chat and goofing around in most departments.

Cons

Compensation is unbalanced, but most don't know because of a hard line no-share rule about pay rate. Company feels that company-branded trinkets (coffee mug, mouse pad, etc) is the way to gain loyalty. Hourly employees are expected to round to the minute. There is an expectation of working off the clock.
