Pros

Amazing Benefits, lots of training, National company that has many long term members. Pays higher commission that most other property management firms including on renewals.

Cons

There is a definite pecking order. You cannot communicate with upper management without it going through your superiors. New ideas do not seem to be welcome.

MAA Response
