The cons range explicitly from interactions with corporate and cell teams. I really dislike how everyone in HQ mainly is one race, there does not seem to be enough diversity whether it’s through DEI or LGBT initiatives. Majority of the DEI council is (well) white. The initiatives don’t seem to match the values. I want to see this company thrive, but it’s really hard for minorities to make it beyond being a property manager.
What disappoints me the most is the classism - HQ team members are treated like royalty. You guys close the deals for on-site team members to make the money, yet the pay disparity in anbsolutely insane. I know this does come in part from ownership too but there’s no reason so many (after even talking about this with them) on-site team members make >45k a year before bonuses. It’s just like we’re the ones making you all the money - but you guys are the ones making $150k+ a year… Maybe an initiative to have HQ on-site at various different struggling properties for a week would help the gap in understanding and appreciation. But every time i see a HQ role posted, i get shocked at how much more they are making then the people on the ground, collecting the money which contributes to the fees cardinal charges the property. My hard work pays your salary but it’s never noticed.
