Pros

Venterra was great at creating a great customer experience with residents. They held a lot of events for the on-site teams including annual family fun days, yearly award ceremonies, etc. Great team atmosphere in the office- I met some great friends who I continue to be friends with to this day.

Cons

Salary was outdated and seems like it continues to be and is not up to industry standard. After leaving, I realized how much they preached promoting from within. This is far from true-- the only promotions I ever saw were lower levels (leasing to ACM, ACM to CM) but nothing beyond that. Tenured employees who work hard for the company get overlooked by someone from outside of the organization for positions they are more than capable of doing. Senior leadership does not take accountability and when it comes down to it, they do not value their hard working tenured managers.

While we’d like to thank you for taking a moment to reflect on your time with us, and it’s great that you enjoyed our events and the company of your colleagues, I’m disappointed that it wasn’t as positive as we would have liked overall. Most of our current regional and corporate team members have been promoted into their roles, but there are still times when we rely on external talent to introduce a unique perspective or set of skills to the organization. And, although regional benchmarking reports continue to guide the way in terms of adjusting pay offerings, it’s critical that our team members are comfortable having a conversation on this topic at any time to ensure compensation is well-aligned with their specific skills and qualifications. Maintaining a politic-free environment where open, candid discussions like these can happen is a must for a positive experience, so I’d love a chance to better understand your specific observations. With this in mind, I’d like to invite you to contact me to discuss by phone (281-822-9125) or email (bgeorge@venterraliving.com) when time allows. Thank you again for the review and in advance for any additional information you’re able to provide.

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.
