Pros
Onsite teams are fantastic, getting to know each and every one of your residents and not just see them as another rent check is fun. Having the opportunity to interact and make connections with external people is one of the highlights of this position.
Cons
Benefits have been changed without notice, the downtown office staff is treated with a higher regard than those who are face-to-face with residents and on-site daily. Booze is the biggest pro, but only if you're downtown. Raises aren't equal across the board, and if they're budgeted in (with due explanation,) it's denied before even going to be rough-approved by Portfolio Managers. I've been told directly that I've maxed out my pay for my position and I need to take on more responsibility for more money but I've been doing assistant and Management work since day one. Most everyone is held to individual standards so if any issue arises and a manager or someone from Downtown doesn't like you, you're given an improvement plan and expected to do even more with less and if any further issues come up, you're removed from your property and scooted to a difficult property (with expectation of COMPLETELY changing it) where you'll be physically threatened on a regular basis.
