Pros

My team/direct peers are the only reason I have continued to stay as long as I have.

Cons

- Communities are incredibly understaffed, leading to significant burn out and severely increased work load. Operating on skeleton crews began in 2019 and have continued to reduce year over year. - Associates are grossly underpaid for the amount of work that they do. Associate recognition and resident retention budgets are also gutted year over year. - Senior management claims to value their associates but it is smoke and mirrors. If you’re not a shareholder, you do not matter. - Benefits are outdated, no longer competitive and could use serious improvement. Associates deserve much more paid time off, a higher 401k match and a higher associate housing discount, especially when SO much of our paychecks are being invested back into a company who doesn’t care about us. - Associates are asked to complete a lot of surveys throughout the year that ask for candid, honest feedback about the company but senior management responses to these surveys are incredibly underwhelming and the changes that associates ask for are not implemented. If the changes we suggest are beneficial to anyone other than our shareholder, they are disregarded.
