Cons

Property management groups notoriously underpay their employees with commission structure in mind. Prometheus, however, takes it one step further. They cut your wages for the commission (only $100 per lease, many PMC are doing percentages of the base rent, equaling far more than $100 a lease), AND they cut your wage again in the name of "free health care." How is it free if you're cutting my hourly rate for the health care coverage? They always promise that they are revisiting the wages, but they are still consistently the lowest paying PMC in the area. Many other PMC's are now offering the same benefits as Prometheus AND they aren't cutting their employee wages. On top of all of that, I haven't taken a state mandated 10-minute break since beginning here, because they love to understaff their teams. I go into each day not knowing if I will be able to even take my lunch break in its entirety, because you are expected to have your life revolve around this job. As a Neighbor Ambassador, you can expect to do the job of leasing, resident relations, maintenance, and more, and still get told you're being paid what you deserve. Prometheus is also introducing this concept of "one team," which is another way of saying they are reducing staffing drastically, spreading people a lot thinner, without increasing the base wages.

Advice to Management

I've had the "cons" conversation with upper management time and time again, and we're always told that our feedback is being taken seriously and reviewed. The fact that everything I'm saying is not new, and has existed within the company for years, should tell everyone that their words are performative, and they aren't actually making any strides to improve their work environment. This place is toxic, everyone is burnt out, and onsite management + the corporate office thrives on over-promising + under-delivering. Advice for management? Stop pretending like you care... you're able to make fast changes on everything besides what actually matters: taking care of the people who are on the front lines, running the company.

Our owner Jackie, believes in giving back to the local communities and beyond. Every Promethean (employee) receives 100% paid healthcare for themselves and their immediate family. Our Sr. VP of Operations, Kellie M, is the most supportive, understanding Executive I have ever worked with and leads with her whole heart (you will even see her in the office assisting in times of need) .
