Pros
The job I had was not hard, the pay was in-line with what the job demanded, and overall I had a neutral experience with the company. We received a decent apartment credit, benefits, and 401K with 20% match (up to a certain level that I can now no longer remember). All and all it was a pretty good job if you are looking to get started in property management. There are, however, better paying companies out there that will pay more for a person with multiple years of experience. So again, not bad as a first-time job in property management... but I would not stay beyond 5 years. As for work-life balance... CTL Management has been one of the best companies that I have ever worked for in terms of not bugging you on your days off (and I lived onsite)
Kontras
Don't get me wrong. A workplace will ALWAYS have some form of political stuff that you need to deal with. But I felt that the level of "high-school politics" had way too much say so in who was promoted, not fired, and etc.
