Pros

Was given extreme latitude to make changes to the office working environment which led to profound satisfaction on my part and general esteem throughout the company. Owner was cognizant of and respected my special circumstances where combat related PTSD was involved.

Cons

Property management is a dogfight. Much of the job is making full grown adults fulfill their responsibilities. In hindsight, not a great career path for prior military who is used to people acting with integrity. On account of major stress, everyone including CEO can have periods of less than stellar mood. In the heat of the moment, the environment can make it seem as if the people themselves are the problem when, in fact, it’s simply rough to do business in any capacity where you have control over people’s basic needs.

Yes! Owner that I could call 24/7 and she would come running? Yes!!! Oh… and just an FYI… we have shed some “baggage” and made some fantastic upgrades to help us out now and in the future. Looking forward to even more great changes! Are there going to be more rough times? Yes! Bring it on!
