Lots of Problems

Recommend

Pros

- The pay is pretty good for relatively simple work (this is the only reason the rating isn't lower) - flexible work schedule if arranged well with other employees - have absolutely loved interacting with some of the residents in the building

Cons

- Introduced tipping to subsidize employees' guaranteed wages, claiming they couldn't keep up with the market without doing this (all while profit sharing with the building owners) - faux positive company culture (all from management) that's frankly irritating to customers and employees - renamed position so that leasing office can make as many ridiculous requests as they want from you - as someone mentioned previously, creepy binder on logging interactions with residents and details about residents - some locations are heavily understaffed, yet they refuse to offer a higher wage, letting current employees suffer under a heavier work schedule - pretty sure shifts are set at just under 8-hr shifts just so that they're not required to give us any break during our shift - discourage discussing wages with other employees so as to underpay different employees for the same kind of work (which is illegal) I've run out of things off the top of my head, but feel I have had other issues come up at times, but for now, I feel this paints a good enough picture.

Pros

Overall everyone is friendly. Flexible with scheduling.

Cons

If the location that you work at isn’t busy you will be expected to “find busy work” which could be anything from helping the leasing team, cleaning the bathroom (???), and basically being a concierge. They want you to keep a detailed record book of interactions you have with residents/customers. They call this the “resident roster“. They also want you to write down any “information” that may be “helpful” in future interactions with your coworkers. Some of this info includes- their full name, who they live with, where they work, where they go to school, if they have pets, and even their apartment number. Creepy. YOU DO NOT GET TO COLLECT TIPS. I could go on, but those were the main things.

Pros

Sometimes you’re alone and get no business so you have downtime.

Cons

You’re very closely monitored depending on which location you’re placed at. The CEO will personally call or text you trying to convince you to cover a shift last minute at different locations. This happened repeatedly and felt like they had no boundaries nor is this appropriate to be doing. If you’re needing someone to cover a shift the CEO should not be jumping over everyone including general managers and shift leads. This becomes a power thing. He almost made it impossible for me to say no and will continually call and text each employee so much when we’ve all put in the appropriate amount of time to take off and our schedule is consistent. I also felt like I was always under a microscope at my location and felt like they treated me less than sometimes. There’s a lot of pressure to fulfill certain shoes here. Also we would have to write notes or anything we learned about each resident in a notebook which was creepy. Then every staff member had to sign off that they read that. If we’re suppose to build organic connections this shouldn’t be a thing. Sometimes I had too much downtime and I was bored.
