Great invirpment - Anonymous employee Nelson Brothers Property Management Employee Review

I am a troubleshooter and a leasing/marketing ninja for student housing and travel throughout the portfolio to help properties lease up. I organize events, get sponsorships and sell ad space for Nelson Brothers Property Management. I also help negotiate contracts for discounts and help to deal with billboard ads. I wear many hats everyday in this business. You HAVE to be a go getter for this industry and be prepared for ANYTHING, this industry is not for everyone. It is for me & I LOVE it and my company! Patrick & Brian Nelson are great owners who genuinely care for the employees, I have personally witnessed this many times. They are brilliant business minded men who give respect to workers and are highly involved in the operations. HR Ninja, Rob ROCKS and Shaun the National Director of Leasing is very knowledgeable and upholds high standards for employees and operations. I like everyone I work with and we are a family here at NB, I truly feel this way. If there is ever an issue we talk it out, we brainstorm ideas and I love that we are not afraid of trying new ideas. Our social media director Amanda is so creative we just can’t loose! It is all about good people and growth within, if it wasn’t I wouldn't work here.

I love what I do, I have to travel for my job and it is hard sometimes.

Honestly, there were some pros working here. However the company gave me such a negative ending I don't even consider them pros anymore.

Management. From the top down, the company is rife with miscommunication, micro-managing, disorganization, and finger-pointing. I was let go on false charges and since there is no HR department I couldn't dispute the termination. Not that I really cared to because I was already looking for other jobs; it's too stressful here. However think of that; the company boasts 22 properties worth $225+ million and THERE IS NO HR DEPARTMENT. The principals don't care about their employees or their customers, or even their properties--they don't take care of them. They care solely about profit. They care about buying out the next property down the street. Every policy they have in place makes them money. Period. There is no sense of proper customer service or business ethics. In my time there, I watched every valuable employee (even some HIGH up the corporate chain) either get fired, or leave because of hostile work environment. Anyone who joins this company and actually CARES, gets terminated. Meanwhile all the hum-drum 9-5ers stay on because they are favored by some manager who hired them. I cared about this company once. I wanted to succeed here and I wanted to company to succeed. But it's just not going to happen. Not with the managers they hire. PS: Don't believe all the positive reviews, we were all required to write those back in October. That's why they all showed up around the same time.
