Corporate Good, Local Not So Good

Pros

As other reviewers have noted, Venterra and the majority of its properties seem to be great places to work. Unfortunately I can't attest to this. Everyone else seems to have fun and love their jobs. There seems to be great communication and camaraderie.

Cons

Corporate and other properties seem great, but I happen to work at a property that is not so great. I was hired before the management of the local complex in Dallas came on board so I was not able to meet and evaluate if the management style would be a fit for me, as well as I for them. It turns out it's not. Management is extremely antisocial, but does turn on the social smile for upper management or important people when they come into the office. Intimidation tactics with the staff, especially maintenance staff, are used and lacks a general friendly atmosphere. Mistakes are a big no-no. If you make a mistake, like I have being new to the industry, there are no conversations with me to correct me, instead corporate meetings with regionals are call (as if it's a repeat offense) and instead of "coaching" there is blame and reprimand. Overall, the morale is low, to the point where every other person who was working at the Dallas property resigned because of leadership and management style.

While we appreciate you taking the time to share your review, I’m sorry to read that your experience with onsite management has been so negative. We want employees across our portfolio to enjoy the positive aspects of our company culture that you mentioned equally, regardless of region or community. The management style as described here is definitely not in-line with our expectations for our Experience Leaders. When you have an opportunity I’d like to discuss your experiences in more detail, so we can ensure we’re taking any necessary steps to prevent current or future employees on the team from feeling the same way you have. Please reach out to me directly by phone (905-717-8264) or email (rroos@venterraliving.com) as soon as you have an opportunity. Thank you in advance and again for providing the feedback here.

I have now been employed with Venterra Realty for 10 years. I have grown with Venterra both with responsibility and as an individual. I have been presented with many great opportunities over the years and have came to cherish the time spent working with such a great group of people. I have had the opportunity to see and experience the company grow over the years and have witnessed Venterra stick to their 7 Core Values along the way. I can truly say, from experience, that this is a Great Place to Work.
