Horrible Corporate Office - Manager Optivest Properties Employee Review

Pros

I worked for the company 6 years. They do provide managers with a free apartment and utilities, but you better hope nothing breaks or needs repairs because you will have to literally wait years for anything to be fixed. Corporate does not take care of its managers. Yes, in addition to a crappy hourly salary, they will give you bonuses-but on their terms which can change midstream. Even the plan itself is subject to change yearly. One yr. it's based on revenue, another time it's based on budget. And don't allow too many move outs or Corp. will jump down your throat. The people running the Corp. office are numb sculls who don't have a clue about managing a local storage facility. They don't realize that the business can sometimes be seasonal. But once you are in THEIR apartment and under THEIR "rule", you are subject to them. They have you captured and can turn on you in a moment's notice. These people are vindictive bullies who you better not cross. Even if you bonus and have the best numbers, they will let you go if they don't like you.

Cons

Already shared a few. Just way too many. Be careful for these people will suck you in with their smiles and "friendly" ways only to turn on you later. Have a plan ready in case they give you 6 days to vacate the apartment or cut off your health insurance.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. From the top down, we are focusing on improving communication and transparency. We care very deeply about our employees and appreciate their hard work and dedication. We believe that by varying our bonus systems, we give employees all over the country a chance to excel. In an effort to provide our team with a better quality of life, we made the decision to have our property managers live off site rather than in the on-site apartments. The clear majority report much-improved work-life balance and greater job satisfaction. We’d love to learn more about your experience and how we can improve. Please feel free to contact HR directly.
