Pros

They pay you more than other student housing companies.

Cons

Corporate office is constantly making mistakes (and laugh them off) but consistently tells property staff to "speak intellectually at all times". Company grew exponentially last year without growing its corporate office. It's IT and operations departments cannot properly assist all properties making the day to day harder for on-site support. Revenue managers constantly demanding you be an "expert in your market" but don't take your advice or opinion (even when they've never been to your property or market). All of their properties have a bad reputation and the corporate office is primarily concerned with money, not resident well being or property safety. It's all about the paychecks. There's constantly new rumors of sexual harassment within the company though nothing has ever been proven. They also violate fair housing left and right. They encourage their properties to overbook on leasing and then lie when this backfires. They offer secret "unadvertised" specials to certain people solely based on whether the prospect is willing to sign a lease. Their corporate office seems to strive to catch their property workers doing something wrong as they only ever show up for surprise visits. All of this plus the fact that at my first corporate summit, I kept being made aware of "rumored sexual harassment" by men in the corporate office, made me leave this company.
