Pros

* Decent benefits relative to position. * Maintenance staff was overall helpful and nice.

Cons

* Was told there were opportunities for paid-overtime only to be later told there would no longer be paid-overtime, no exceptions. * Told there would be on average, high commissions only to find that figure was wildly exaggerated. * No employee rental discount even though every other property management company has one. * No career progression/promotion from within as long-time employees were pushed aside in favor of corporate employees transferred from out of state. * Learned temps received better pay and benefits than full-time Mill Creek employees. * High turnover rate, was the fourth person within a year to have the position. Due to low compensation, lack of career prospects and passive-aggressive management. * Most unprofessional 2-week notice/exit process I have ever experienced. Publically insulated, stripped of employee access before officially leaving, intentionally given all of the dirty/difficult work, had to fight for my bonuses and was nearly blocked from submitting hours, had my personal privacy and effects violated.

Pros

They have a decent pipeline of projects, but SUPER LOW BUDGETS (or so they say)

Cons

Please do not believe the recent posts. They are clearly being posted by higher level guys who are desperate to keep people, but will not tell you more than half of past employees have left. They will use and abuse you and do no care about anything but themselves. Especially the DC area. PLEASE WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE. They underpay and overwork. Good luck raising kids or seeing your family. Worst company I ever worked for

Far from a meritocracy

Pros

Company offers subpar benefits relative to competition. At least good enough to make you think twice before leaving.

Cons

During my tenure I’ve seen a TON of manager turnover at this company. Something that has remained consistent however is seeing just how far charisma and politics can move you higher in the ranks. Be cautious about sharing your ambitions with leadership or even having ambition for that matter because IT WILL BE LEVERAGED against you. What I mean is keep your expectations low, you’re better off doing that than delusionally thinking that traits like dedication, dependability and hard work are qualities to be taken seriously or even considered when it comes to recognition. I’ve rarely been one to engage is cynicism but you know what they say. If you scratch the surface of a cynic you just might find a disappointed idealist.
