Pros

Usually get left alone after hours. Property is usually easy to maintain. Some tenants are cool Offers decent insurance Once you've spent 10 years here, you roll up PTO pretty quick but they will cap you

Cons

New people get hired on at what you make after 10 years. Management cackled when I asked for a raise. Be prepared to be the verbal punching bag after your tenants recieved $100 rate increases. You will clean up more human fecal matter than you ever thought feasible.

Pros

Solid schedule - 40 hours per week, not expected to be there more than that. No one looking over your shoulder constantly (unless you have a new DM, they can't seem to help it) Mostly great people to work with Local, immediate management does care and are helpful.

Cons

Very large rate increases really upset customers and that's just too bad. We are given word to tell them but it just isn't true. Putting more money in stock holder's pockets is the bottom line and it doesn't matter how much anger we have to deal with. You are absolutely expected to sell insurance to every renter. However, you must be careful because you aren't "insurance salesmen". You get a ding when you don't sell it. We are encouraged to use evasive language and rush through it so the renter thinks it's required without quite saying so. You would think this large of a corporation would have handymen available but it is so, so difficult to get the smallest repair done due to getting bids from vendors, turning them in, reminding the person you turned them in to what needs done maybe getting approval, then scheduling. By that time lights (or whatever) have been out for a month or 2. Benefits are very expensive and cover so little.
