Pros
The on site staff I work with are amazing. They have become my family. Okay pay + commissions.
Cons
Leasing Consultants are not recognized for their worth. We bust out butts and you see PMs get a huge gala and constant lunches and praise. We get a “leasing rally” that basically is just additional training for fair housing laws. We don’t get near enough praise for the hours of sweat we put in. We are expecting to fill in at others constantly and get no reward or praise at all. Our PMs will simply give a thank you but when you get so far behind and head under water because your doing a good job, no one stops to say your doing a good job. It feels as though it just isn’t recognized that we are the front line. We take on a heavy load of work. Pay is okay by not compared to some other companies. Weekends. We work every single weekend. I personally get twelve off the whole year. Saturday and Sunday. None others. For 2 years now. I see other PMs that actually want to keep their staff and rotate every other but they leave that up to them. So there is nothing you can do that you WILL miss family birthdays, weddings, just being able to do things like ever. They need a better schedule. We aren’t just a number.
