Pros
Affinity is essentially a subsidiary of Axis Residential, which is genuinely a great company to work for. It is a smaller and newer company, which means that there are only about 4-5 degrees of separation between an entry level professional and the ownership of the company, and I always felt like my work and my input were valued by multiple levels of management. This is a great entry level job because you will "wear many hats," which allows you to get a lot of experience if you're just starting out in sales/property management/senior services. I thought the pay was good and the benefits were great (medical, dental, vision, EAP, 401(k), etc.). If you really like working with people and doing a job where you feel like you make a difference each day, this is a great job. Since it is senior living, the residents are really active in the community and you will not only do leasing and sales, but also event planning and resident retention and relationship-building. Affinity communities are not assisted living, and they are clean, vibrant, and fun places to work. As a Leasing Consultant, you will report to the Community Director and work alongside the Assistant Community Director, which is a plus for people who like to build a strong work relationship with a team. Axis Residential and Affinity are really big on company culture, and they do a good job with it.
Cons
This job can be more demanding than you might expect, as you will "wear many hats" and likely have responsibilities not only in leasing and sales, but also in marketing, property management, and event planning. Since the on-site team is only three people, it can be difficult to find time to take off for medical, travel, or personal time, though the company is liberal in their allotment of those hours. This is not a very flexible job, since you must be on-site from 8:30-5:30 for 5 days a week (or, if working Tues-Sat, 10:00-4:00 on Saturdays). The Leasing Consultant is expected to work on Saturdays, with Monday off. This can be a pro or con depending on lifestyle.
