Strange Experience - Sales and Leasing Agent CYM Living Employee Review

Value you as a person

Managers do not have any control

- Learn how to work with minimal support/resources - Teaches you how to adapt under pressure

The culture here is honestly one of the most toxic work environments I’ve experienced. Personal relationships and favoritism seem to matter far more than actual performance, experience, or hard work. There appears to be a strong culture of personal connections influencing promotions and leadership hiring decisions, with friends and family frequently placed into high-paying leadership roles regardless of whether they have the experience typically expected for those positions. The company also appears to heavily favor friends’ and family members’ construction/supply companies, even when pricing is significantly higher than competing vendors, while simultaneously nickel-and-diming smaller or unrelated vendors over every expense to compensate. The hardest part is that leadership will constantly praise and reassure employees to their face, but the second you do something they dislike or become inconvenient, the narrative completely changes and suddenly you’re treated like you’ve been failing all along. It creates a very uncomfortable environment where employees never feel secure or genuinely valued. There are good people at the company, but the overall culture feels extremely political, inconsistent, and emotionally manipulative. Transparency and professionalism from upper management are lacking, and favoritism heavily impacts employee experience and advancement.
