Pros

I have been in property management for 10 years. The pay is great with Steadfast. I am an Assistant Community Manager and I make more money than most apartment manager's in my state. If your site is preforming well, you get to close for an extra day or two around the holidays and its payed. You don't have to use a PTO. They give a monthly budget for employee lunches, bottled water, coffee, and snacks. We park in a covered garage and we have privet restrooms. No public restrooms (I will explain that later). I have my own stall! Good insurance. I love doing paperwork! Tons of paperwork here because we are a Tax Credit community.

Cons

We are basically a huge public housing high-rise. So the clientele is really rough. I have always worked in conventional and high end. This has been a HUGE change for me. We cant leave anything unlocked. The homeless will overtake the area. That is why we can't leave the bathrooms unlocked or let anyone use them. They will get vandalized. Also...Steadfast does not like to fire people. For some, that is great. For others that can be really stressful. It SUCKS when you have a half-ass team. You literally would have to show up drunk and naked to get fired from this place. I say drunk and naked because we have a maintenance man who I am pretty sure is drunk everyday. He reeks of booze. Because he keeps his clothes on, that has been his saving grace. I have caught ALL of the staff committing offences or telling huge lies about missing work or important things that totally could get someone fired. My Manager and I have reported this to our HR department (with proof) and they have done nothing. The money keeps me here. It can be stressful and you often feel pressured to work over 8 hours a day. I often think about this place when I go home.

Let me start off by saying thank you for your feedback. We are dedicated to creating a positive environment for all of our Associates and I am disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. I do agree with your statement that “Steadfast does not like to fire people,” nor do we find enjoyment with any Associate’s loss of employment. Regarding your specific situation, I am recently aware of certain employee concerns that have been reported. These concerns were immediately acted upon. I am very troubled regarding other situations you indicate were without follow-up. Please reach out to me directly at Larry.Ito@SteadfastCo.com to discuss in more detail. Thank you. Larry Ito VP, Human Resources & Employee Services

Pros

Steadfast models business practices that are refreshingly contemporary. There is a distinct, positive energy which flows through our leaders that you don't often see. Rather than simply feeling like just another "cog" in the machine, you are given many opportunities to make a difference.

Cons

As with any growing company, better employee benefits and retirement matches may not immediately be available but are always on the horizon.

Pros

Having worked for this company for several years, I continually find myself gratefully impressed by the caring nature of its leaders. No company is perfect, but if you are looking for one that genuinely listens to its people, thinks outside the box, and strives to do what is right while doing its best, Steadfast is the place.

Cons

We are growing at a rapid rate and this translates to times when certain processes may not yet be streamlined. The upside is that this doesn't last for very long. Issues are identified and addressed.

I feel your pain on the rapid growth front! It can be a challenge to streamline and roll out processes perfectly. Luckily, we are blessed with a talented, adaptable, and vocal team of associates who are willing to raise their hand and let us know when we missed the mark! Thankfully, we are empowered to change direction quickly and resolve issues as they arise. Communication is the key to constant improvement, and I thank you for your willingness to support that effort.
