Pros

Good environment, working from home allowed, good people around.

Cons

You are disposable commodity and if the company decides to cut cost you will be out without notice. While I have been there for longer than 1 year I saw how people escorted from it in surprise fashion. I saw new employees let go as well as veterans who has been with the company for years. I have been performing well but few times mentioned that expectations are higher because of my high salary. So after one year and a couple months, I saw that they hired less experienced and obviously less expensive developers and as I predicted after knowledge transfer was done I was let go without notice as well. I am happy as I have better opportunities on the table but people joining Venterra should be aware of how they treat you if they decide to change the course.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the working environment, flexibility and especially the people you worked with. We pride ourselves on the positive experience we provide Venterra employees from candidate to alumnus, so we’re disappointed to read that this was not what you experienced at the end of your tenure. As an industry-leading organization, we know our success is grounded in our people. Cost-related separations have not occurred with us for more than a decade, so we believe there’s an opportunity to provide more clarity around the circumstances of your particular separation. I hope your review signals that you are open to providing additional feedback and ask that you reach out to Bill Allison, or any of our senior leaders, to provide more details on your experience. This is the first step in us rectifying your experience and learning from it so we can work to better the organization.

Pros

Company allows for responsibility to make a change. Everyone is extremely pleasant to work with, and leadership allows for opportunities to grow with the organization. There is no limit to what you can do here to make an impact. I could not love a company more to work for.

Cons

Only negative I can think of is I wish the company offered more benefits. They seem a little limited compared to other companies.

Pros

Built an incredible, skilled, and caring on-site team. The residents were wonderful to work with, and my team worked tirelessly to support them.

Cons

Complete lack of leadership, onboarding, and corporate support. I was placed in charge of a portfolio asset with systemic, expensive structural repairs that directly impacted resident health and quality of living. Instead of receiving corporate resources, regional management expected me to use unapproved, half-assed methods to "band-aid" these serious issues. When I refused to comply with these unsafe methods to protect the residents, I was immediately and unceremoniously terminated over a Zoom call under a vague guise of "miscommunication." This company would rather silence managers and lie to their investors than admit to real property failures and address them competently. They will happily let you sacrifice your own health, well-being, and personal finances for a property, only to throw you away when you stand up for what is right.
