Pros

Lots of training. Changes regularly, so if you aren't happy with current property accountant, hang tight as you'll probably have a new one next month. Independence - you are own your own.

Cons

Turnover rate speaks volumes. Company and CEO has no loyalty to anyone, not even long term staff. Horrible health insurance $$$. Expectations are ridiculous and pay is very low, lowest in the area. No respect for managers on site from Corporate staff. Also, rules and regulations are very vague which creates a difficult situation for property managers to manage tenants.

Pros

Really, really great, hard-working people from corporate to on-site staff.

Cons

President is non-existent, out of touch and aloof. There is no desire to engage with employees. Portfolio Managers are over-worked; they have the responsibility of far too many properties to provide adequate supervision. There are no values within the organization.

Pros

Extensive training, and good entry point for new people to the industry.

Cons

Micromanagement, doesn't put much back into the properties, wants top dollar for lower value properties, pay is not competitive after you factor in no commission.
