      Pros

      The office primarily uses Google Suite which was amazing! WFO, office optional. Very laid back. Low work load. Month end was typically easy.

      Cons

      The company only cares about the bottom line and not its tenants. Most employee's cannot afford to live in the apartments they manage, not even with the company discount. Health insurance REQUIRES everyone on the plan to exercise (even non-employee members i.e. spouse) and report workouts in order to lower your health insurance bills. The company save money the more all colleagues report workouts, and weight-loss. Although the actual reporting is private it still seems a bit invasive. Either give this discount or don't, but requiring all insurees's household to follow a fitness plan is intrusive.

      Pros

      Housing discount, strong portfolio exposure, opportunity to work across multiple communities, and valuable experience in a fast-paced leasing environment.

      Cons

      Management loves to preach “teamwork” until something goes wrong, then suddenly it’s every employee for themselves. Very documentation-heavy culture where certain managers seem to enjoy writing people up more than actually developing talent. Communication is inconsistent, accountability is selective, and favoritism is hard to ignore. Commission structure is shockingly low for the workload and expectations. Leadership often presents itself as organized and supportive, but behind the scenes there’s a lot of blame-shifting, targeting of employees, and policy confusion — especially regarding employee housing and lease transitions. My own experience at the end of my employee lease felt retaliatory and left a very negative impression.
