Pros

New and renovated communities are really nice and well appointed. Lots of attention to detail and residents are willing to pay more for these nice units. In each of the departments there are great managers and employees. The best departments are training, marketing and IT. They seem to be the heart of the company and help to keep onsite staff motivated better than Sr. Management. Regarding the review about harassment below. I am not doubting it but wanted to mention that all of my experiences with HR in SF and Denver has been 100% positive. The HR team is supportive and do what they can to help.

Cons

The COO in SF has created a negative work environment that encourages back stabbing and exclusion. Sr. Management in Denver has no clue what is going on and spends most of their time bad mouthing Sr. Management in SF. The NVP in Denver is in the middle of all gossip and offers no help or support for the onsite teams. The onsite teams dread her visit because of the negativity and gossip. Everyone in the company can feel the tension between the two offices.

Learn a lot in detail and high expectations, smart people

most people get promoted when they are frustrated and looking for other options - doesn't help them be better leaders. Advancement dependent on visibility over performance, Seniors are hands off
