Pros

Benefits are great (401K, medical, etc..). 20% rent discount for employees. Consistently acquiring new properties in larger markets creating more job opportunities.

Cons

Senior Management has forgotten that people, not computers work for them. They are all about the numbers and nothing more. You have to be 'in' with upper management to be promoted and be prepared to have your job title changed at any time so you can get paid less for doing the same job. You may be asked to take a position you do not necessarily want with the promise of something better down the road, don't fall for it. You will get stuck there. They do not care about their employees only about how much money that employee can make them. They do not care about their residents and they will nickle and dime them without a care in the world. After five years and seeing things only go downhill, I am in the process of looking for employment elsewhere!

Pros

The managers actually care about your best interest and you as a person, they look at each worker as an individual instead of everyone as employees. The pay is pretty good with yearly raises and bonus's.

Cons

Can be hard to move up in the company, it is a fast paced job so if you get stressed easily you might not enjoy the amount of work needed during busy seasons, some of the residents can occasionally be rude but that also comes with any sort of customer service job and you build a good thick skin against it if you stick it out.
