Pros

Compensation was fair for a 40 hour work week. Doing all that is required in 40 hours is very difficult without backlash.

Cons

First--you are an event planner. However, when trying to book vendors for your events, the paperwork is so unnecessarily grueling for you and your vendor, they typically give up on you, making it near impossible to run events properly and professionally. And forget ever paying a vendor on time. Second -- everything you read in previous reviews about the VP is true. She completely will leave you on your own until something is brought to her attention that she views as a major issue (usually a rumor). She will then turn her attention to you and micromanage and criticize every inch of your performance and actually invent issues or blow situations out of proportion. This is way worse if you are the type to defend yourself. She will discipline you vindictively, if this is the case. She is so visibly insecure, that she feel bullying is the only way to maintain control. Third, the residents at Esplanade are some of the most ungracious people you will ever meet. Granted, this is not the company's fault. However, anyone going into this position should know, you will turn yourself inside out for them, and they will never appreciate it, in fact, they will most likely insult your efforts. Fourth -- There is no way to promote in this position. It is a dead end. And will likely leave you without a positive reference.

Pros

The Community and Members only.

Cons

Vice President micro manages staff. Does not know how to lead and manage professionals. She does not understand business but will critique and try to embarrass you to justify a position she dies not understand. BEWARE! If you get hired and you do s great job, this VP will make your life miserable. Her turnover is huge. She has lost highly talented managers in a very short period. The owners do nothing to hold this bad manager accountable. But the word has gotten about about Pope Golf and Pope Properties.

Pros

You become the smartest person in the room.

Cons

Lack of communication is awful When new personal takes over not even their corporate office knows of the changes Does not take kindly to people that wish to leave their company ( may as well just never use them as a reference) Constantly will not listen to your suggestions Sets you up for failure No where to advance in the company.
