Pros

The pay was great, benefits were good, co-workers (maintenance and 2nd community manager) were fun to work with, residents, CEO Connie Moore would send happy birthday e-mails and quarterly emails, she was also very personable and open to suggestions

Cons

favoritism among management, lack of professional management (lower, CM, ASM), too much stress due to management and work schedule: Sun-Off, Mon: 9-6, Tues: 9-6, Wed: off, Thurs: 10-7, Fri: 9-6, Sat: 9-6, walking on eggshells at work

Pros

Bonuses were difficult to achieve due to the requirements constantly changing and being a bit unobtainable. However, if you are good at what you do, then you can make some decent money. Beautiful communities, several wonderful individuals to work with.

Cons

It seemed like upper management lost touch with how things really are day-to-day on site. Some of their best leasers were trying to communicate what was/wasn't working and they were punished for trying to offer other suggestions. The typical "we care what you think" but don't listen attitude you see with most big companies. Secret shops are pretty much a joke. I watched some of the most successful leasers get let go due to "failed" shops, by the way a 85 is considered failing. If they would let occupancy percentages and leases speak for themselves, they'd have endless success.
