Pros

Good amount of PTO (the trick is actually getting them to let you use it. "how will you make your goals if you're taking time off?" is the type of pushback you get if you try to use it) & did not have to work holidays in December.

Cons

Was completely lied to during the recruiting process. And I wasn't the only one, I talked to 3 others in the region who were told the same lies. I was lied to about compensation, scheduling, location of where I would actually be working, etc..That's just a few of the ways TCG gas lights its people. They sell you on all of the commission possibility but then make you sell really non "luxury" apartments at extremely high costs. The goals they set are unobtainable. You are taught to strong arm and MANIPULATE future/current residents. Once the signature is obtained, the resident is likely not spoken to again until it's time to give them an increase on their renewal. The Connor Group take no pride in the grounds of there properties. Rats, Roaches, Floods, Stinky Hallways, Outdated decor, etc. Upper management is a joke. They must have paid a pretty penny to be given awards like "best company culture" and "best place for women to work." Regional manager will yell, cuss, berate, make you cry. They do not care about you. They care about making money. They prey on people who come from retail/restaurants so they can break you, under the façade that "you're getting out of retail and building a real career."

I am sorry to hear you had a negative experience with The Connor Group. Specifically, that you felt misinformation was given to you during the recruiting process. We absolutely pride ourselves on being open and transparent about working here. We also are upfront this job is difficult and is for the best of the best – and frankly, it’s not for everyone. Our company awards for culture and best places to work were NOT paid for. Our associates reviews on third-party websites earned us the recognition. We also take COVID 19 extremely seriously. Our residents and our associates safety are our top priority. We’ve taken every precaution recommended by the CDC and have provided our associates hundreds of thousands of dollars in Childcare assistance, paid time off for testing/quarantines, and even expanded our associate loan program. We’ve also given away more than $1.5 million in small business loans to help other businesses throughout these difficult times. We regularly maintain our apartments, and do not have pest or flood issues throughout our luxury apartments. We work to maintain the highest standards for our residents at all times to deliver excellent customer service. It’s part of our company’s core values of Doing the Right thing. If you feel you were given false information during the recruiting process I would like to discuss directly with you so we can address and correct this problem if necessary. Please contact me directly at 937-350-3415.

Pros

Fast-paced environment, strong compensation opportunities, talented teams, and a culture that rewards performance. If you are ambitious, competitive, and always want more, this could be the place for you.

Cons

The environment is demanding and not suited for everyone. Expectations are high, feedback is direct, and performance is closely measured. Employees who thrive on accountability, competition, and results will likely do well; those seeking a more traditional or less performance-driven workplace may find it is not the right fit.
