Pros

It paid the bills for many years. I enjoyed the travel, I enjoyed some of the people I worked with.

Cons

Too much micromanagement. Regional and corporate lead with intimidation. very seldom did you hear what you were doing right, but have one number slip and make the tiniest infraction, then you were hounded. When I started, the bonus structure was realistic, over the years it became increasingly more difficult. Then after the "investors" came in and the company went REIT, the goals to make a bonus were so out of reach, it was was not even worth staying on board, because the base salary for a community manager is among the lowest in the industry. The leadership from the regional leadership up are only worried about numbers, they say they are about their employees, but the do not. They only care about numbers. The high up corporate leadership are so out of touch with the reality of everyday working people, what really goes on at the site level and what it actually takes to run a property, it is ridiculous. They should all manage a distressed property for about a month, with all the pressure and factors that every manager experiences everyday. Maybe that will bring them back down to earth, because when you hear the COO, Steve, talk about his 10 car garage and the cars that he has in the middle of an area that is filled with site level employees, well the fact that he is boasting about material possessions that these team members can only dream about tells me he and other leadership are way out of touch with their employee's reality. So Jobseekers beware, you will be enticed by what is seemingly a great compensation package, but once you are on board, you will soon find out that you are working you rear off for a very minimal salary. Because the bonus expectations were designed to save the company money. I was there for over 5 years and never had a performance review or salary increase, think about that.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits.

Cons

Not the same since the inception of the "investors" I have never seen such a push to get renters to buy their homes. They don't care what you have to do to make the numbers, just do it!! It goes from your so wonderful, to you may need to find a different job in seconds! Stop rewarding people with pedicures for doing their Job!!! Certain RM's favor certain people, period.
