Pinnacle Realty Reviews

Pros

You are bascially your own boss. You can make your own hours and the job is flexible with your personal life. Other employees are very helpful and I can always get answers when needed.

Cons

Sometimes the job intrudes on your personal time but you can always make up for extra hours worked by taking them off at another time.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue on with feedback(both negative and positive). Let employees know what is going on within the company.

Pros

An employee will see endless opportunity to improve operations, and even find an ear to listen to suggestions. Potential is unlimited. There is much variety and a person with vision could provide a huge bang for the buck. One truly could add to team spirit. There are some very good people to work with here who one can really get to know and rely on. One can learn quite a good deal about different aspects of their career. Also check out Pinnacle Realty Management Company - there are several branches to this company that are all the same thing. Good career builder.

Cons

On the other side of the ear listening to your suggestions is a limitless void. Potential is unlimited but unrealizable. One could work and provide all possible hours and quality of input and they will be nullified. There is little opportunity to make a difference to the company overall (but then, to do that, one ought to be in management, which is nigh near impossible to get into without connections). This is really the owner's personal company and they will do darn well whatever they like - which is their right. The company is all about pulling in money for the owners, so an employee should not disillusion themselves into believing they are there for anything more than a paycheck (and the personal satisfaction of knowing a job well done). A steadfast dedication to systems, methods, and processes that don't work and reluctance to try anything new does not help.

Advice to Senior Management

Folks would very much like to see Pinnacle be successful. Folks would very much like to be part of the solution. They cannot do this is without an in and knowing that their input is truly valued. There is quite a lot more to the employees than simply extracting labor in a non-symbiotic relationship. If it matters that the company survives and/or flourishes at all, processes need to be changed, systems updated or upgraded, and employees empowered.

Pros

If you work on a lease up property and the owner(s) of the building are generous you can make a lot of money, 200-300 or so a lease. They pay out commissions every pay period where other companies pay commissions at the end of the month. Bonus structures differ from property to property depending on owner. If you're good at leasing and you work at a property that has great appeal for prospects and can lease itself you can easily make 60-70k a year in just leasing.

Cons

Management itself has no core values, care for or respect their employees. Management seems like it has been designed as a "everyone fend for yourself" tactic where management can and will throw you under the bus and step on you anyway they can to either; get ahead, or get themselves out of a situation they put themselves in. There is a huge lack in professionalism on several levels of management; procedures, guidelines and handbooks are never followed and employees are honestly scared to go to work because of how their treated by management. If anything is ever reported to human resources it gets brushed under the rug and the employee is somehow at fault.

Advice to Senior Management

It really wouldn't matter what a former employee would have to say to management because management could careless enough to even take the time to read it or hear it. There are people in management positions that really should not be, people who are minipulating, lie, are unethical, devious, malicious and unprofessional. (Investment and or Asset Managers in the San Diego/Irvine California market in particular). And the people who are in the employee relations dept in Washington, really need to define and collect all information of any given situation before action is taken. The lack of attention paid to employee concerns will surely provide the company with a Class Action Suit someday.
