        Pros

        The leads and t2's were all pretty chill. I miss them a lot.

        Cons

        I never really knew how to do my job until people taught me over time. The training made no sense, the guy who took over my training who was also my manager basically just read the material at us, it made zero sense.... Leads would get annoyed when you called in asking about stuff since you didn't understand. You get callers who are elderly that can take an hour plus to log into an account, and they expect you to complete calls in ten minutes or less. There's no QA team, they give you a QA score but there's never any review or continuous improvement or motivation from your managers to improve you. The only time my manager ever interacted with me was to tell me I failed a QA and make me take a test, or make me do compliance work that teaches you nothing.

      Property Manager

      As a leasing agent for two years, I then worked my way to assistant manager for t 11 months. Then, to a property manager position, nine months into my new role as manager, I was terminated, with no warning, completely unexpected. How do I explain this undeserving action and embarrassment in an upcoming interview without any risk in the decision-making of my employment with the company I am interested in? I hope I am relaying this in a way that is understood.
