Pros

Benefits are okay. 401k matching is okay. The coffee is free. It's possible that you will make a friend or two amidst the negativity.

Cons

Here's some advice for those thinking about pursuing a career with Invitation Homes: don't. Seriously. No amount of money would make this hell hole of a company tolerable. Although it's likely that they aren't offering you much money in the first place, which makes your decision that much easier. Walk away. Now. Every negative review that you read here is completely accurate, and the majority of the positive reviews are absolutely fake - commonly being published after another round of layoffs to combat the inevitable influx of negative reviews. I cannot even come close to overstating the toxicity of the environment here. Some of the rudest, most unprofessional and manipulative people that I have ever had the misfortune of working with have been put in positions of power. Any good morale that ever existed has been completely sucked out of the office - teamwork and collaboration are nonexistent as this company has been reduced to an "every man for himself" environment. Be prepared to play the blame game and to have fingers pointed at you, because this environment is non-conducive to actual problem solving. Rather, most find that their time is better spent passive-aggressively CC'ing upper management on trivial issues and passing the buck on to someone else in order to avoid having to do any actual work. Don't be surprised if you are forbidden from interacting with other departments. Don't be surprised if you go years without a performance review or a raise. Don't be surprised if management starts rumors about you and accuses you of wrongdoing without having any basis whatsoever. And then doubles down on accusations even after you've provided irrefutable proof against them. Corporate HR has completely abandoned the Bellevue branch because it's too far gone. There is no saving this branch unless they decide to address the actual problems and start cleaning house to get rid of the negativity. I've spelled out the problem for you here. If you decide to continue down the road with IH, you won't get any sympathy from me when it all hits the fan. If you value your dignity, your time, and your sanity you should stay far, far away from Invitation Homes.

Pros

Great people. Probably the only reason why I have stayed this long

Cons

unexplained charges to residents. Frustrated employees due to downsizing and no pay increase. I understand with growing companies there is trail and error but 2-3 years later still there is not exact protocol. Employees are under valued. Tenants complain about maintenance and it takes forever to get things fixed which makes residents very unhappy. Everyday is a headache

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.
