Pros

only positive is after 10 years employees receive a 6 week paid sabbatical.

Cons

employees are mistreated. Office was always over 80 degrees. refused to provide the proper equipment to complete work properly. middle management is unwilling to train or help. middle management spreads rumors and creates a drama filled environment. middle management makes unethical and immoral decisions. there is no sense of team, it's a he said she said working environment. Gables demands a level of expectations from it's employees but refuses to compensate them appropriately. Middle management will lie to your face and hire you and then change the job description once you start working. Gables Residential will lie to you and tell you that they want you to have a healthy work/home life, but then will tell you that you need to work 60 hours a week. As a company that provides apartment homes they will raise their residents rents as much as 15%, but will not give their employees and annual increase of more than 4%, which you will be lucky to receive. The normal annual pay raise is 3%, which is a laughable COLA, not a raise. This says that it's more important for them to raise rents than it is for the residents to be able to pay for the rental increase. They pride themselves on "Taking Care of the Way People Live" this is a lie, they only care about taking care of the their own wallet. Gables will ask for you to give them everything you have and when you do and become tired and burnt out, they kick you to the curb.

Gables Residential Response

It is with regret to learn that your time spent with Gables Residential was not a great experience. We pride ourselves on not only “Taking Care of the Way People Live” but also taking care of our associates. We are proud to say that several of our associates have built their careers only with Gables. We are dedicated to associate satisfaction and engagement by strongly encouraging our associates to regularly provide feedback in our quarterly associate satisfaction surveys conducted by a 3rd party to ensure anonymity. We also have an Open Door communication policy where associates can express their thoughts and feelings without fear of retaliation. Other opportunities to voice concerns include taking them directly to our Human Resources department which is always available to assist associates with any questions or concerns that arise before, during and after employment. In addition, we also work with EthicsPoint to offer an easy way to anonymously report suspected wrong doings. Again, it is with regret to learn of your disappointment with Gables but we do wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Gables has been a great company to be a part of. I’m fortunate to work alongside an amazing group of peers and a supportive leader who provides both guidance and trust. Managing a luxury asset has been a rewarding experience that continues to challenge and grow my skillset.

Cons

One area for improvement would be clearer visibility into long-term career growth paths. While there are strong leaders and great opportunities to learn, a more defined roadmap for advancement would be helpful for those looking to take the next step in their careers.
