Pros
Never a minute of boredom. Relaxed work clothing while working. Opportunity to advance and make $32,000 year bonus.
Kontras
Of course, for each pro, there is an equal con. Never a minute of boredom. Not on weekends, at nights, on your paid time off (when you are told to ensure your phone and computer are nearby to work) Contrary to what some of the other HR people have posted, there is ZERO work/life balance. Cannot be unavailable at any time on the weekends without having your regional manager OKing it. Including going to the movies. Seriously. Relaxed clothing. You'll need it. You will be cutting locks with grinders and drills. Roughly 150 per month. You also have 10 properties to auction off people's belongings. Walking each property, rain or shine. You will have to treat your best employees poorly. We have stopped giving raises to resident property managers. New ones will have to be at minimum wage, forever. Try using that to retain your best help. Opportunity to advance. Because everyone is replaceable. You, your boss. People come and go constantly. Nearly 50% turnover in the DM position. Don't let them fool you about work ethic and such. They know your shelf life is roughly 2 years and will work you to the bone until then. Lastly, company philosophy on almost everything. They refuse to spend money on ANYTHING, yet tenants get yearly rent increases, significant amounts, 15% or more. So many SCRIPTS, that I am surprised the hourly turnover isn't higher than the 75% it is. (Our region pushed past 110% this year)
