Former Assistant Community Manager - Assistant Community Manager Venterra Realty Employee Review

I started working for Venterra in 2007 when they acquired a property in Pasadena, TX. I responded to a job posting and within days I had an interview at their corporate office in Houston. Shortly after I was contacted by a property manager who also interviewed me but at the actual property in which I would be working. I was hired and began at the property the day in which Venterra took over early January 2007. The hiring process was easy and the training was even better. I began with the company as a Leasing Consultant and was promoted to Assistant Community Manager within a year. Venterra is always willing to promote from within the company and usually do. Over the course of the 9 years I worked for Venterra I received several awards and bonuses for my hard work. They have amazing incentives for just about anything and each year find amazing ways to make them better including referring a friend to work for the company, a High Achievers bonus you have a chance of getting every quarter that gets better and better when you win consecutively, a Better Way suggestion board where all suggestions are read and responded to and if your idea is selected you receive at least a $100 bonus and a possibly a yearly grand prize, a Mentor program you can apply for that not only allows you to meet and get to know your colleagues but also offers a bonus each time you help by training someone new, and awards at the annual Kick Off for each position based on their yearly performance. As an employee you get several paid holidays off and even your birthday is included as one of those days. I cannot say enough good about this company, and the ways in which they helped me grow, learn, and better myself as a person and employee. They care deeply for their employees, their residents they love to "WOW" and even giving back with charity work such as raising thousands for breast cancer awareness through the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I even obtained my Bachelors Degree while working full time for Venterra and opted to stay with them because I loved the company and people so much. I would recommend anyone to work for Venterra, and had my property not been sold which is part of the business, I would still be working for them today. Being a part of the Venterra family will change your life for the better.
