Gene B. Glick Company Reviews

Pros

1. The people who work for Glick are top notch and good at their jobs and have usually been around a while, so working with high caliber people makes work more enjoyable and efficient. 2. Many companies preach the idea of social responsibility, but I have never seen a company live it mission more in line than Glick. Proof of this is paid days to serve the community (both with the company and on your own), matching donations to non-profit organizations, and structured events to allow family an opportunity to give back together. 3. The total benefits and compensation are very strong from the 401(k) match to the amount paid/coverage on health insurance. 4. The company has dedicated a lot of resources to training employees and giving them the tools to be successful. This ranges from the training department, to in person training/career development, to online modules for required courses. The also put on a Leadership Conference ever year to year and a half that is a great resource and time to collectively gather as a company. 5. There are lots of opportunities to experience different property types within multifamily housing. The company's portfolio has everything from market rate , to Section 8, and even Tax Credit. There are many places to find a niche within the company. 6. The Leadership. I know this goes along with #1 and people, but the people in charge are very much looking out for the health of the company and well-being of its employees. I very much trusted those in leadership that I came across.

Cons

One of the best things about Glick is also one that could be seen as a down side. Many employees have been at the company a very long time. This creates two struggles. 1. Change and processes can be slow. The company has been around for over 70 years and has done things the right way, but the right way isn't always the quickest way. 2. "Title Promotions" aren't always as readily available as at other companies. The company will continue to invest in, grow, and reward anyone within the organization doing well, but that doesn't always come in the form of a promotion within a set period of time. I don't like to call these cons because I don't think they are bad, but it can be seen as a downside in some people's eyes.

Pros

Benefits are great, Feel valued, Good communication on any changes in the company, Promotion from within, Fair pay, Great management.

Cons

Will have to interact with residents that are going through difficult times and not be able to assist them. Having the eviction conversation or move out damages conversation can be unpleasant but the pros far outweigh the cons.
