Serious disconnect with issues property managers face. Favoritism, nepotism, is rampant. No opportunities for career or self improvement. Regionals isolate and alienate property managers from their staff. What happened to me, while at Monarch, made me question my abilities, memory, education, and shattered my self confidence and self-image. I felt I could do nothing as a property manager without getting consent of the regional. I had been a very independent, competent, and confident property manager in the past. Being told that I lacked common sense and skills, and abilities on an almost daily basis really affected me. Monarch has destroyed my life.
