Pros

This used to be a warm, inviting group of people who emphasized training and development and had supportive directors invested in the success of their managers. Pay was fair, PTO generous, and bonuses given for good performance.

Cons

People with no industry experience or leadership ability were hired and inexplicably promoted to positions of great influence. The massive turnover (30 plus managers come and gone in less than 18 months) and loss of accounts should be a clue that something is very, very wrong here but nobody with any power to change things seems to notice or care. If you choose to work in this office, know that you will be handed a portfolio of properties that have probably had several other managers that year. You will receive no training or guidance, and when you are completely overwhelmed, you will be told it's your fault for not being able to handle it. Your director can't help you, because she doesn't know how to manage properties either. You will hate this job and quit after a couple of months just like the 29 people who had the job before you.

Pros

They take good care of the office people

Cons

Field workers are second hand citizens. Nepotism by language. Promote people that don't have the skill sets to do the job. The people that have the common sense to be leadership at this point don't want the responsibility anymore. What does that say?
