Pros

One year in, this is the most inclusive workplace of my career. Leadership is approachable, my manager is a true mentor, and people are kind and collaborative. I have opportunities to work on new projects, join employee events, and volunteer with colleagues, which makes me feel connected and that my work matters.

Cons

No major cons for me so far. Like any company, some things are still a work in progress, but my overall experience has been very positive.

Pros

The communities are physically nice

Cons

The biggest problem is the current tour policy is sheer insanity. On-site staff are already burning out by headcount being reduced whenever possible, and on top of it, they have made tours unlimited (5 tours can be booked at once, and this can happen every 30 minutes, even for 1 person working). Leasing agents and on-site staff are going to leave, burn out, continue calling out causing further short staffing. PLEASE do something about this policy before our office staff disintegrates, it is truly awful.
