Pros

Managers live on site and have a free apartment

Cons

Micromanaged in every single in your job description. Corporate office employees make fun of the staff, berate them, talk about them and nothing professional about them. You are threatened every single day and most employees are in fear of losing their jobs if you're not part of the click. Intimidation every single day. They write the people up that they don't personally like and it has nothing to do with their job performance. They either like you or they don't. Family employees get away with murder, have free apartments although they are not managers. Most of their properties look terrible but because those managers are liked, they never get written up. Long term employees are leaving in groves and the HR representative is a joke.

Pros

Stable company, with good people. Leadership is very receptive to questions and providing training. Solid benefit package and many extra perks. Beautiful offices and properties, Strong brand with high standards and a solid work ethic. Many long term employees.

Cons

Not a con for me, but you need to be ready to work to be employed here. Slackers are not welcome.

Pros

Co-workers are great. Residents at some properties are delightful to be around and to interact with.

Cons

Pay for the amount of work demanded is CRAZY low. The company makes almost 100 million but yet all employees are low income and can’t even afford to live on the very property that they breaks their backs to maintain. Supervisors and Managers are the only employees who receive free/minimal housing costs. Leasing is constantly moved around creating havoc for them and their families. Several staff members are related to each other creating an unequal balance. Fair housing only applies to residents, but conflict of interest continues with staff reporting directly to their family members. Corporate is the biggest joke of all time and are a clique of evil manipulators.

We can also confirm that we have team members who are related; however, all such relationships are managed in accordance with our conflict of interest and chain of command policies. Olen takes great pride in the quality of our brand, our communities, and the experience we provide to our residents and team members. We appreciate your feedback, however, and we wish you success in your future endeavors.
