Lincoln Property Company Employee Reviews about "people"

Pros

I learned a lot about from this position. The problem is however that they have acquired a heavier work load but do not want to hire more people. The company is heavy on favoritism and nepotism so to be promoted it's easier if you have family here. Not very happy with my manager but i cannot complain cause it will get worse. Overall though it is a great company.

Cons

Favoritism, nepotism. More people needs to be hired. Change the pay schedule from twice a month to biweekly,please.

Pros

Lincoln has an awesome training program but this might be to cover the incompetence of many of the people they hire.

Cons

Many regions within Lincoln run properties too lean with not enough staff so you are overworked, underpaid, and end up losing vacation time at the end of the year. They pay male counterparts quite a bit more than females in the same or higher positions.

Pros

They have core hours but they are willing to let people work varying schedules.

Cons

If they like you, then you are fine but if they don't like you, you will be gone with no warning. They fired one girl because they said, she wasn't a good enough accountant. She had been there one year and they let her go with no warning. After she was let go, she went to work for a competing Real Estate Company and was hired as a Senior accountant and then was promoted within a year to accounting manager. If you work at LPC you will be working 10-12 hour days and at least one weekend a month, no matter how many properties you have. There were some people there that had little children and would rush home to put their kids to bed and then would work to two, three or four in the morning. They expected you to be on call 24/7. A co-worker was on vacation with his family and had left messages on his office phone and email stating that. An owner of one of his properties called and to wanted to ask him a question. The person covering for him said that he was on vacation. The owner then called the managers and complained. They proceeded to turn around and call the employee on his vacation and yell at him for not answering the owner. If you work for LPC, don't ask for properties to be adjusted so you have less or you will be let go. For a 'national' company they are extremely disorganized. There is no set standard of how things should be done. There is also no constant flow in the office. The properties change hands way too many times. I have worked my whole career in property accounting and every place I have been, we always kept the same properties. There was never a change. At LPC, they change properties all the time, which is one reason there is no organizational flow. The whole company culture makes it seem as though you are working on an assembly line. LPC claims they treat their employees well but that is not the truth. If they are a Dallas based office they will be treated properly in most cases but even there some people are not treated well. If there was less than a star, I would give them that.

Pros

Decent commission. Weekend pay on Sundays, if you have to work, at least you only work 5 hours and get paid for 8.

Cons

Not enough employees at any community. Turnover is inevitable when people are all new and no one is accountable for tasks not being completed.

Pros

Lincoln is a good company to work for. There is growth opportunity, and the pay is decent. Benefits are good (health insurance is a reasonable cost, 401k match is good too but you only get to keep that if you remain with the company for 5+ years). Additionally, transferring from one community to another usually isn't a problem if there is space for you.

Cons

Not too many cons honestly. Lincoln is a large company so some people do feel forgotten as far as recognition goes.

Pros

flexible and great people working

Cons

no uniform policy across when it comes to process
