Pros

I consider Lyon Living like an elementary school, a place to get your feet wet to learn the fundamentals of property management. When I first started with the company, upper management was great and they actually cared. However, over time as upper management restructured, the core values have changed and so did the treatment towards their employees.

Cons

One of the lowest paying companies in the industry compared to the competitors. There is a huge disconnect between Northern California and the corporate office in Southern California. It felt like we were the ugly step child always left behind. Lack of resources and outdated technology, which is sad since we live in the Silicon Valley.

Pros

The people you work with are really nice and are extremely helpful in getting you started and on your feet. The humor within the company is amazing.

Cons

If you're a floater its not the greatest position especially if they send you to the Redondo beach location its overwhelming and the manager doesn't help much and you're overloaded with work that needs to be a 4 people kind of job. They are relying too much on AI to do the work of humans but AI does no work. More human help is needed. Shortcuts like AI aren't always the answer.
