We appreciate your review, but are unhappy to see that you wouldn't recommend us based on your previous experience on the team. While our expectations for employees are definitely high we aim to offer compensation that is both fair and competitive within the industry. We've recently made a few changes to pay levels across many of our positions to help make sure we are fulfilling this obligation and we will continue to make adjustments in the future. That said, we'll still be sure to pass your thoughts along appropriately, as well! Thank you again so much for taking the time to share them.

Pros

I have worked for Venterra for 1.5years and can honestly say this company loves their employees. From team building activities to monthly contests, corporate is always looking for a way to keep employees happy and involved. Benefits are lovely. The fitness program that is offered through insurance is very cost efficient and better than any other single gym membership I’ve ever had.

Cons

The deciding factor of why I have chosen to leave Venterra is the salary. Their super high expectation and extensive training just doesn’t match up to what salary they offer. Once Venterra hires these phenomenal leasing consultants and train them to be top notch leasers, other company’s see how well they lease and hire them with a higher starting salary. Other companies with less expectations and simple training techniques are stealing the best employees simply because they are a little more generous. Venterra will wait for you to say that you’re leaving before offering the correct compensation for your position and abilities. Venterra makes it extremely hard to reach perfection making you never feel “good enough.” Other companies see you as a diamond in the rut and show their appreciation from the start. The company itself has a great pro-employee mindset but for some reason they are lacking on the compensations side. Salary matters. In today’s day and age people have lives to live and bills to pay. Money isn’t everything but almost everything needs money. Also, very little growth opportunities. I have seen multiple scenarios where Venterra will hire an outside interviewee before promoting an internal employee who has shown and proven their dedication to the company.

We appreciate your leaving a review and are happy to read about the many positives you experienced during your time with us. As great as it is to read about them, we're also sorry seeing that you wouldn't recommend us overall. While we definitely set the bar high for employee expectations, we also want to offer compensation that is fair, competitive, and in line with the responsibilities the individuals on our team are asked to take on. In this same vein, we have a Leader Promise to strive to promote from within by looking to the members on our team prior to looking outside the organization when the need to fill a role arises. Although we have made a few recent changes to help ensure we are continuing to do well on these fronts, there is still always room for continued improvement. As these initiatives are both critical to creating positive employee experiences your feedback here is very valuable to us and will absolutely be passed along. Thank you again so much for taking the time to share your thoughts here.

Pros

The company listens to and cares about it's employees. It is constantly changing and evolving to become a better company. It provides regular feedback on performance. One of the few companies that goes out of its way for the resident - WOW program is great.

Cons

There a lots of new initiatives that are rolled out to the property level on a regular basis. The company is constantly changing to become better, so once you have been with the company you learn to embrace the changes. Overall, a really good, caring company.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts here! It's great knowing that you've seen the positive outcome of our employee and customer experience initiatives in action during your years with us. Making the operational changes you mention is definitely par for the course to us being an industry leader, so the flexibility to embrace them as they come is definitely an important trait to have as a member of our team. If you've got any changes of your own in mind be sure to speak up or submit a Better Way! Thank you again for your review!
