Pros

Free lunch from Vendors during lunch and learn.

Cons

Extended hours are between 50 and 60 hours a week. Very high turnover for CAMs Work Life balance is non existent, you will be told to, "come in on Saturday to complete work." Unprofessional comments in front of clients about the previous Community Association Manager during Board meetings. Inheriting accounts that are in complete shambles with many items incomplete, not organized, and multiple software platforms that were hobbled together at the last minute. Examples, work orders, violations, invoices not being loaded causing HOA clubhouse utilities to be disconnected. Plan on chronic stress, lack of trust, and manipulation by certain Regional Mangers to protect their own incompetence. Extremely toxic work enviornment.

Pros

Great company culture with strong core values and a collaborative environment. As a remote employee, the flexibility and work-life balance are a huge plus. The IT environment is also very dynamic — there are multiple systems, platforms, and technologies in use, so the work rarely feels repetitive or boring. The company is supportive of employee growth and development, offering training opportunities and access to a large online learning library. Another positive sign is the number of long-term employees; many people have been with the company for 5+ years, which says a lot about overall employee satisfaction and stability.

Cons

The company frequently changes business processes and technologies. While innovation is good, it can sometimes feel like just when you’ve fully mastered a system or workflow, a new tool or process is introduced. Workload can also fluctuate depending on business initiatives and project demands. Because it’s a large organization, there are a lot of layers of leadership — supervisors, managers, directors, VPs, etc. At times, it can be unclear who the correct point of contact or decision-maker is for certain situations.
