6 Years Have Taught Me So Much

Maintenance manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have had the opportunity to watch this company grow from 4 states to 8 just in the past 6 years. Each of my employees and my superiors have been crucial to my development from technician to manager. I make mistakes, but I have people who truly want me to succeed and have my best interest at heart. They have shown this throughout my tenure here. We have a very tight knit region and we bounce ideas off of each other. I've never seen that in the past 12 years I've been in the apartment industry (Leasing agent through maintenance manager). I have been given opportunities to train new hires, to traveling around my region. All of our corporate staff are very down-to-earth people.

Cons

As it is, the growth in our region came pretty fast and a few senior people left. This creates opportunities, but also challenges in personnel and logistics. These were noticed during the due diligence process and take overs. We got through it, but it would have been made easier if we had a dedicated due diligence and take over team. Expanding into new states with less vendor presence exacerbated a lot of the problems as well. It would have been beneficial if during the DD process or even during the underwriting we looked at vendor presence to alleviate the new acquisition woes. I love traveling and helping at other properties, but resources got stretched thin. The mentor program, as much as I love the idea, could be better implemented if there were a dedicated set of people that would train the new hires. With expansion, it has been hard to incentivize new mentors (especially in maintenance) and it became difficult for me to leave my property to train others. With the size and scope of our region, having the new hire travel to me has not been an easy option.
