Pros

Opportunities for advancement for you are ok with the environment.

Cons

A lot of "failing upward". "Legacy" employees are treated with favoritism and can do no wrong leading to good employees feeling undervalued. This leads to high employee turnover. The expectation is to live and breath the company with little to no allotment for personal time or a home life. Not a sustainable lifestyle. The company is young and it shows. They have a lot to learn and seem like a teenager going through the "I can do it all" phase. So much growth without ensuring the right people are put in the correct positions. (Failing upward)

Pros

-Nice location -Free fancy lunches -Breakfast available

Cons

-Healthcare is extremely expensive!!!! It’s clear that they don’t like employees to have families, because if they did, they’d offer a better healthcare package for those who do, instead of charge you the full premium. Don’t think they understand that to stay competitive they need to offer family benefits! -Maternity leave is only 6 weeks paid, rest unpaid. Again, to stay competitive they need to change this, and as mentioned above, they don’t like families. Also, you need to have worked there for a full year to even earn the right to take maternity leave. -They don’t promote from within, which is why you see so much turnover. -Still living in the 90s, some of the staff has desktop computers, not a laptop that they can take home if they needed or wanted to work remote, which gets to my next point, they don’t believe in remote work because it’s all about optics at the corporate level. -You’re salaried but paid and given PTO as if you’re hourly because management didn’t want the hassle of dealing with the payroll side of property level as hourly and corporate as salary so they do it together, you get paid a week in arrears which is strange if you’re used to a salary paycheck. You also can’t take PTO before you earn it, which most companies allow. -It’s all about the optics with them. -Upper management is all friends, it’s a boys club. -Turnover!!! Most people have worked there less than a year, a bit unsettling to see.

Culture of Favoritism

Pros

The Scion Group is a great company to work for as a PART TIME employee. The pay is great while working as a student and taking classes at the same time. The property I worked for always took account of our class schedules and scheduled us around them. Most of the properties in their portfolio are class A and living there is convenient.

Cons

1. No employee housing discount: I always found it strange that the company didn't offer housing discounts for all of its employees but rather just management staff. However, they have recently done away with all employee discounts companywide whether you are management or not. This is just common courtesy for employees of a property management company, and as I have researched other companies this is not commonplace either. 2. No commission: Scion also just did away with commission bonuses. What they were aiming for with this, I have no idea. They attempted to give us a measly $3 increase in pay to make up for this but I don't believe $3 more an hour makes up for the amount of money you have the potential to make through commission. Also, in any profession, salespeople are commission driven. The removal of this aspect of the job decreases morale, motivation to sign contracts, and was incredibly dumb in my opinion. 3. Favoritism within the company and at my specific property is RAMPANT. I understand that in the workforce it's about "who you know and not what you know", but that should trump experience nor knowledge. Promotions are handed out based on how many times you've been to the bars to get drunk outside of work with upper management, and it's disgusting. This is just the tip of the iceberg in cons. There are too many to list and type at this moment.
