Pros

Various employees in different departments that are genuinely kind and caring.

Cons

Following significant changes in the leadership team, key support structures were removed, and the sense of genuine care and compassion around workload, quickly disappeared. During both individual and group calls, management frequently spoke in a way that came across as dismissive or superior. While growth opportunities were frequently discussed, they often felt more like a scripted narrative to retain staff rather than a genuine pathway for advancement. This was especially evident as many long-tenured employees consistently went without promotions or meaningful development, reinforcing the impression that career growth was more promised than practiced. Additionally, there seems to be a lack of transparency in their online reputation, with efforts seemingly focused more on managing perceptions. If you look into how long team members have been with the company, you’ll see the entire team has experienced turnover which wasn’t the case two years ago.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We can tell you care, and we’re glad you experienced the kindness and genuine core that runs through HRP. That’s something we’re proud of and work very hard to maintain. We understand that transitions, especially from one leader to the next, can bring change. But our focus hasn’t shifted: keeping communication open, making sure our teams feel supported and creating paths of growth. - Whether it’s through direct conversations, our HR team, confidential surveys, or feedback tools like Hawthorne Voices, we’re always listening. - When it comes to growth and development, we agree — it has to be real. That’s exactly how our marketing team has earned several promotions in recent years. Recognizing and growing talent continues to be a top priority. - We also stand firmly behind a fair, merit-based approach to hiring and promotion. We don’t support the idea that connections override qualifications, that’s simply not how we operate. If you’re open to it, please reach out to me so I can better understand the specific challenges you experienced and areas we can make improvements. Thanks again for your feedback. We wish you all the best in your next chapter. Zina Swisher Zswisher@hrpliving.com

Pros

- Positive "LIVE IT Culture" - HRP promotes internal growth, I started in Leasing with no experience and within 2 years, I worked my way up to Community Manager. After 4 and a half years on site, I was promoted to Talent Acquisition Specialist at our corporate office. - SO MUCH SUPPORT & TRAINING. You will never feel like you have to figure it all out on your own. - Fun work environment, lots of events, friendly competitions, team building. - HRP promotes healthy work life balance. - Great benefits! A Free year of diaper subscription for new mothers and fathers, fitness reimbursements, high percentage 401K matching, free subscriptions to apps like Noom & Calm and too many more to list here. - THIS COMPANY CARES ABOUT YOU! You are not just a number to them. They care about the employees and the residents. - Annual Leadership Conference - so much fun! It is a great opportunity to connect with other leaders and come back to your site feeling refreshed and excited. - I could go on and on, I love Hawthorne and truly appreciate all that this company has done and how it has helped me to grow personally & professionally.

Cons

- There are a lot of opportunities, which can mean wearing multiple hats.. great for learning, but can be overwhelming at times if you do not reach out to leaders for support and maintain a positive attitude.
