Pros

Flexible hours, get to work with college students, hosts fun events for residents

Cons

The company is incredibly disorganized as a whole. Their main website is full of typos, and there is absolutely no way of finding the contact information of anyone at the corporate level no matter how hard you try. Management that was reachable often ignored residents. All of their comps have pricing for next year but no Yugo properties do. We were informed that we had to change our entire schedule and plan out our leasing (without prices, mind you) for the next month with a 2-day warning. I knew things were bad when our entire chain of upper management changed in just over a month due to people leaving the company. I was never properly trained and then got in trouble when I didn't know what I was doing. I never had guidance. As an hourly employee, I was often instructed to work at home after hours without pay (over 20 hours in less than 6 months). When they decided they were done with me, they took crumbs to create a case against me. You are disposable to Yugo, everyone is. I was silly to think I could build a career with this company.

Pros

There is a lot in motion at Yugo, processes and ways of working have evolved significantly over the past several years. Rather than avoiding that uncertainty, the company embraces it and takes ownership of it, from the interview process through day-to-day conversations. Yugo is clearly focused on what’s next, and I genuinely believe it has the ability to build something unique in an industry where many leaders claim to have everything figured out, solicit feedback through lengthy focus groups, and then either disregard what was shared or deliver outcomes that bear little resemblance to the discussion. While the company is experiencing growing pains, the culture it is intentionally shaping is what will ultimately set it apart and drive long-term success.

Cons

The most stressful part of working at Yugo is the constant change. Processes, expectations, and ways of working are still evolving, which can create ambiguity and require a high level of adaptability day to day. That uncertainty can be challenging, particularly for those who prefer clearly defined structures or established playbooks. However, rather than avoiding these growing pains, Yugo acknowledges them and actively works through them. The company is open about where it is headed, receptive to feedback from its people, and focused on building something better rather than defaulting to “how it’s always been done.” While the pace and change can be demanding, the culture being intentionally developed, and the genuine openness to new ideas, are what ultimately make the experience worthwhile and position the company for long-term success.
