Lots of politics

Pros

Culture is great. They love to keep it fun. Innovative company. Met some really awesome coworkers. Awesome holiday time off and great benefits.

Cons

A lot of politics involved. They do yearly leadership surveys that are said to be anonymous and meant for employees to give feedback on their direct managers. But nothing is ever done to address the issues. Regional will tell the managers who said negative comments about them. Don’t speak up. Nothing will get done to correct behavior. You will be black balled and you won’t be promoted.

While we appreciate the review and I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed our culture, your coworkers, and our benefits offerings, some of the concerns you outline are unacceptable in our offices/communities. Whether it’s a leadership survey or a report we receive through third party service resource, EthicsPoint, we take our team members' anonymity seriously. And, in the type of situations you’ve described here, we’ll absolutely take corrective action. Given the nature of your review, I’d ask that you provide us with additional information about any specific observations anonymously through EthicsPoint (https://bit.ly/3stiJsA) or by reaching out to me directly for a conversation by phone (905-717-8624) or by email (rroos@venterraliving.com). Thank you in advance for taking the time to share more details as soon as you have an opportunity and, again, for providing the review.

Unhealthy management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Industry standard pay - Benefits - Work life balance

Cons

Venterra has some of the worst management I have ever worked for. They are toxic. Employees are frequently belittled by management, forced to do things outside of the scope of their job descriptions, and often take on some of the workload from management. Management is hardly present on the property during the workday. The cost of living adjustments are atrocious and you are capped on pay, despite not making enough at that pay rate to comfortably lease an apartment from Venterra. Commission structure for leasing units is well below the market rate. Even if you make Venterra a million dollars, you are barely compensated.

I’m disappointed to read the review, but we appreciate you taking the time to share it. Our compensation ranges are adjusted regularly based on regional industry benchmarking reports and we’ve recently increased leasing commissions to help ensure we’re offering competitive pay, we certainly understand that there can sometimes be a difference between expectations in pay and reality. For this reason, we encourage candid conversations on the topic with supervisors whenever necessary. That said, productive dialogue of any type requires a great relationship with a leader equipped with the right skills and a passion for creating a great employee experience. I’m concerned about feedback, and would like an opportunity to learn a little more. If you’re open to a one-on-one conversation, I’d like to encourage you to reach out to me by phone (905-717-8624) or by email (rroos@venterraliving.com). Alternatively, EthicsPoint (https://bit.ly/3stiJsA) remains a resource to anonymously report concerns that need to be brought to our attention and actioned. Again, thank you for providing the review and for any additional information you’re able to share when you have an opportunity.

No way

Pros

None to mention. Not worth it.

Cons

Micromanaging is a thing. They are very judgmental of new employees. They provided almost no training. They do not care about their employees unless you are in tight with the regionals or area managers. One of the worst companies I have ever worked for. Don't fall for their false promises and lies.

We appreciate the review, but I’m definitely disappointed to read about your experience with us. It’s our aim to maintain an industry-leading company culture where every one of our colleagues are excited to come to work. This requires our leaders to be dedicated to the success of their team members and equipped with the skills to create an amazing employee experience. Given that we clearly fell short of this standard from your perspective, I’d love a chance to gather a few more details from you. If you have a moment and are open to a candid conversation, I’d like to encourage you to reach out to me by phone (905-717-8624) or by email (rroos@venterraliving.com). I’m hoping that your insights can help prevent any current or future team members from having the same negative impressions. Thank you in advance and again for sharing here.
