Pros

Great culture, hard working employees, and people that want to do the right thing.

Cons

Like any large company, employees can get lost if you don't shine. My advice would be to work hard and make a name for yourself and you will get noticed.

We are elated that you have connected so well with our culture. We appreciate the advice you gave, not only to your counterparts, but also to our Senior Leadership. We agree that being out at the properties is important. We also agree that senior corporate leaders should visit the field, and in fact they do often. However, with over 400 properties, it’s not feasible for them to visit every property on a regular basis while balancing their responsibilities at the corporate office.

Pros

The communities are physically nice

Cons

The biggest problem is the current tour policy is sheer insanity. On-site staff are already burning out by headcount being reduced whenever possible, and on top of it, they have made tours unlimited (5 tours can be booked at once, and this can happen every 30 minutes, even for 1 person working). Leasing agents and on-site staff are going to leave, burn out, continue calling out causing further short staffing. PLEASE do something about this policy before our office staff disintegrates, it is truly awful.
