Pros

Fair & ethical leadership Support roles in almost every area business Many opportunities for professional growth Generous employee benefits No unnecessary or redundant reporting An organization where you really feel the guiding principles in the every day culture Great communication for such a large organization

Cons

Long hiring process. It takes too long to screen candidates for open positions. A few growing pains since takeover of Colonia Properties - mostly technology/software related No formal training program for onsite associates to grow into management No ability to take advantage of social media marketing

Pros

I love working for this company! They take care of their employees. They offer great benefits and PTO. The core values of the newly merged company is shown from all levels of the company. It's such a big company now but they do a great job with recognition of your property and personal successes. I've had a great 5 years with this company and would recommend this employer.

Cons

Right now, there are some growing pains from the merger with Colonial. I feel likes it's being handled the best it can be - it's just the nature of the beast.

Pros

The pay and commission is decent.

Cons

The company used to be Colonial and even then they did not care about their employees. It was always tense no matter where you were. They do not give opportunities for advancement. They interview one girl for 3 different manager spots, and still was not given the job because she "didnt have enough experience" when she has been with the company for 3 years and an assistant for 10 years. They play favorites. worst company if you have children or want to have a life. Forget asking for time away. I had the absolute worst experience while working there. I worked with COlonial/MAA for almost 2 years-stuck it out that long because i was waiting for a different opportunity. You don't get support from MAA. I worked at 2 different properties-the first one i was training to get promoted. i transferred to a different property, and forget the training..."it was important". TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE company. Please stay away
