Reviews about "district managers"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
My Regional Director of operations and Regional manager are always there to help! They are available for you all the time! Also, the district managers in the city where I work are always willing to help out if you need an extra hand! Awesome job environment!
Cons
Nothing that I can think of that can really bother me.

Pros
There are no pros, they use them against you
Cons
No work life balance, continually finding ways to make bonus impossible, no promotion opportunities, expecting to personally pull trash as a district manager, no upside to performing well as more work is added with no additional pay, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your time at Valet Living. I’m sorry you didn’t have a great experience during your time here. Our District Manager's have a challenging job and there are circumstances that may require additional hours, which is not uncommon in any management level position. We continue to work on getting better in this area, with introducing the Lead Service Valet position in many of our markets as one example to help alleviate some of the tasks that would normally fall to the District Manager. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review and we wish you the best in your career.

Pros
As a district manager you are able to control your work life balance. You are able to work from home and you get a company vehicle to use for your property visits. It's not very difficult at all. The most important key to making your job successful is staying staffed and constantly recruit. Upper management is easy to work with and there is constant communication.
Cons
You have to be thick skinned. You cannot take complaints personal. You also have to be good at customer service. Pay could be more.

Thank you for sharing a review. I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience during your time here. As someone who was with our company for at least 5 years, I'm sure you can attest that working at Valet Living isn't for everyone. Our business is fast growing and change is constant therefore we ask our team members to be incredibly nimble as we serve customers in an industry that changes daily. Thanks again for taking the time to leave this review and we wish you the best in your career.

Pros
Not having to wake up and be in a office every morning. I love the fact I am able to wake up at my leisure (so to speak) Ok Salary to start off with. You do not have to speak with your boss every day You are sort of your own boss
Cons
Extremely long hours at times. Either your working barely 15 hours a week physically or your working your whole life away. Split shift- This is how they "promote it" however that is not accurate. Meetings are consistently scheduled with little to any notice during your "off hours" You will be told not to have anything scheduled during your working hours unless your on PTO. That is not a fair way to do things. If you cover 20 properties and you have 7 properties with no staff. You will be required to physically work all those sites or fear being fired or wrote up. So you could expect to start at 7pm and end work at 5 am. You can not voice your opinion or you will be terminated or treated differently-At the end of the day you have to play your role with this company. Make sure trash is collected and doors are not missed. By any means necessary. If there is ever a complaint blame falls strictly on District Manager no matter what it is. budgets for sites are so low. It does not help retain good talent. You will lose PTO- Even if you do not need to, just take it as soon as possible. Because most likely you will not be fully staffed so you can not use your pto towards end of year and you will lose anything over what the company allows you to carry over and they will not pay you out on it. You vs. Sales, Property Management, Regional- If anything goes wrong suck it up because they will not back you up. They will side with the client in fear of losing contract. Communication- Management only responds to you if they like you. Although they get a lot of calls, trust me you will get the excuse of I was busy or I did not get your message. But if you do not answer your in hot water!!

Pros
Great part time job with an amazing amount of support from district managers. I work for a major organization during the day and never received any formal training. Working as a valet, I trained with someone for 3 whole shifts. Wonderful! As noted by others, the inadvertent exercise is a nice trade off while getting to listen to audio books or music. Also, I get to pet the occasional dog!
Cons
The tenants can be pretty disrespectful and brand new properties tend to have unrealistic expectations on a single person collecting trash. The tenants can do a real number on their own community, so it feels a little unfair and shortsighted on the apartment management's side. However, I did find that if you reach out to your district manager with your concerns, a thing I was nervous to do for fear of sounding like a complainer, they can really help! I'm not sure how that conversation went, but I imagine they advocate for you while helping to keep the professional and respectful relationship with the community.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience so far working at Valet Living. We strive to create an open culture here and value feedback so that we can become an even better company. It's great to hear that you have the support from your District Managers. We definitely agree that the Service Valet position is physically demanding and candidates interested in joining should keep this in mind. We like to think about this position as the one that pays you to help you get fit. Glad to hear you feel the same! In regards to "advice to management," we’ll continue to analyze if we’re providing competitive compensation to our associates, especially consider costs of living in all markets. Again, thank you for your feedback and all you do!
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
One of the things I really like is that you get to work kind of at your pace. Be on time and on top of your stuff and no one if breathing down your neck. I like that it’s a great amount of work for part time. Just a few hours a day and moving along. I love the customer service part of the job. A lot of room for moving up within company but there is a lot of competition as well. My District Manager rocks!
Cons
Only con is being outside in the weather on the days when it’s snowing or just pouring down. But hey that’s part of it. Usually the weather is one of the pros of the job. It is a lot of physical work. So just be ready for that. There will be days you don’t feel like you’re gonna make it. If you have that mentality and mindset, you could potentially not have any cons here!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're happy to hear that you are having a great experience and it sounds like your DM is going a great job too! You point out a great advantage to our part time Service Valet position: autonomy and independence to complete your work! Most associates really value this. The outdoor, inclement weather conditions can be challenging. We thank you for working through this and continuing to satisfy our residents with service.
