Carmel Partners Reviews

Pros

Great Projects. Great People. Great work / life balance

Cons

Heavy workload. Fast paced schedules.

Pros

Great projects. Lots of capital to work with. Fantastic construction division. Extremely competitive compensation package.

Cons

Development process could use some refinement. As expected from a large corporate company, things tend to move slowly.

Pros

Good good human resources department and easy to get in touch, quick to respond Pay is what it should be and fair, typical perks and benefits

Cons

Can't think of any that are not Covid related. They had to let a lot of their talent go due to projects being put on hold.

Pros

Learn from industry leaders and CEO is the brightest within the multifamily business.

Cons

Bottle neck of an organization and CEO makes all of the decisions.

Pros

I really like most everything about working at Carmel. I have been here several years. I have been given tons of opportunities throughout the years. The best things about working for Carmel are the variety and excitement of each day, the fact that people value hard work, the opportunity to give the company new ideas, the autonomy to achieve expected results in any way I feel is best, and the recognition for a job well done. Just this morning, I was given a gift card simply because I submitted an idea to the company. I love my boss here and I love all of the people I work with. There are so many talented and brilliant people that work here and everyone truly cares about the success of the company.

Cons

Carmel is growing and changing fast, so sometimes it can be hard to keep up with the expectations of the workload. There is so much to be done and so little time to do it all! However, I would rather have that situation than the opposite. Also, I don't have to deal directly with the Asset Management department in my role, but I hear that balancing both Operations and Asset Management can be difficult.

Pros

Carmel Partners is dedicated to providing the best quality housing and service they can and uses their resources to make sure it happens. As a Manager for the company I find I have continued support from not only an operations side but also with finances and needing to spend money when it needs to be spent. At Carmel I am surrounded by others that care about doing the right thing, whether it is for our Residents, our Employees and Investors. This comes from the top of the company and is carried throughout the organization. Carmel is innovative in many ways- Health and Wellness, Property Improvements, Green Initiatives and more. Carmel has recently expanded it's training program, and this is exciting for all the employees.

Cons

Honestly, I feel so good after writing the Pros, I really can't think of any Cons! I love my job, I love my co-workers, and I love our leaders. It's Great!!! I know some of my employees feel there is not enough career growth opportunity, and I see that on another review here, but I have to say part of that is because we are in Hawaii (people stay in jobs here much longer than on the Mainland), and the other part is because everyone loves working for Carmel and they don't want to leave! I strive every day to help my employees grow regardless and Carmel fully supports personal and professional growth as well.

Pros

The company has been going through changes, but these are changes that are pervasive to the Property Management industry as a whole rather than just Carmel. Individuals who are writing about the corrosion of the company's culture have a limited perspective about the business and industry overall. This is an industry where change is the norm, and many long term, stable employees weren't used to that change and had a difficult time with it. My experience (in over 10 years with Carmel) has been that they champion their people, work hard to grow them, give people opportunities, compensate people fairly, train them well, and generally stand out among the competition. In my opinion, Carmel is an amazing company with an outstanding culture and solid senior leadership. Awesome benefits too!

Cons

This is an industry where change is the norm, so some people might not be comfortable with that. If you're going to work in property management, understand that it's an industry where things don't stay the same over long periods of time. If you can survive/thrive in an ambiguous environment, you're likely to be much more successful.
