Pros

There are no pros with this company

Cons

First let me inform all of you that these “great” reviews are fake. During summits there is an employee that goes around handing out business cards begging people to post positive reviews on Glassdoor. 1)Turnover- HOLY MOLY the turn over rate for this company is horrible. It’s almost comical. Don’t get too attached to your coworkers they won’t last. 2) Company is growing so quickly and they don’t have the support to substain the growth. Think of it like this you have a cup of marbles the cup can only hold so many marbles, however you keep adding more and more marbles to the cup to where they keep overflowing and falling on the floor. This company is the Roman Empire. 3) Unrealistic Expectations- You better hope that you are in a market that is easy to lease your property up. If you are under YOY you are going to get literal hell from your regional and marketing coordinator. 4) No work/home life balance- This company literally thinks that this job is your life. If you aren’t meeting expectations get use to working every weekend and don’t expect to get a day off during the week. I worked 22 days in a row before a day off. This wasn’t even including turn. Oh and no extra pay for this either. Salary is so much fun. That’s how they get you. 5) They don’t like you they fire you- you pretty much have to be a robot and not have an opinion of your own. You pretty much have to agree with everything that your higher up says. If you don’t like it don’t speak up. This gets you fired. 6) if you aren’t leasing it’s your fault- I came from a VERY saturated market. New properties were coming up left and right. This made it VERY difficult to produce results. Everything was always our fault if we didn’t sign over 35 contracts in a week. Back to that whole unrealistic expectations. 7) Corporate is very inefficient- they give directors about 20 + properties. Getting ahold of anyone in higher up is pretty much impossible. They travel and they get so many emails it’s useless sending one to them or your regional. If you do they will make you feel really bad about not already knowing the answer. Also the people in corporate are really rude to the staff at the property level. 8) there are other companies- trust me on this. Stay FAR FAR away. 9) There is favoritism- if you aren’t best friends with your higher ups you won’t get promoted. I’m not talking about your GM either I’m talking about the corporate staff members. Kiss their butts that’s the only way to make more money or get promoted. 10) Lack of training- just know that the policies in this company are STRICT. You must do everything and I mean EVERYTHING exactly to scion policy. If not you will be in big trouble. Might I add they don’t give new employees much training. I was a CA then a HC then a RSM worked for this company for almost 3.5 years and it’s taken every year for me to learn the “Scion Way” of doing things. RUN RUN RUN. DONT WORK HERE

Zero upwards accountability for management past the site level Horrific HR department that makes it impossible to hold reports accountable Favoritism is rampant and will destroy jobs Claims a culture of "Go-Getters" when in reality they say this to abuse your work-life balance to the highest degree COO is completely out of touch with his workforce and makes changes off of vibes
