Pros

Great culture and team dynamic at most properties Initiatives in place to provide opportunities for additional compensation. Programs that encourage personal and professional growth through Better living and lifelong learning. Decent Medical, Dental and Vision insurance PTO and sick time is above average. Commission for leasing consultants can be lucrative if you put in the work.

Cons

Consideration for senior management opportunities appears to be given to applicants outside the organization. Lower end of salary compensation compared to other companies for the same positions/job titles. The pay doesn't match the work load and level of responsibility Understaffing can be overwhelming at times

Thank you for your review! Competitive compensation and opportunities to advance are both important parts of a great employee experience, so we appreciate the feedback. While onboarding individuals with fresh perspectives and unique skill sets can help ensure that diverse viewpoints are represented and niche organization needs can be met, we remain dedicated to our Leader Promise to “strive to promote from within.” Personalized development plans in combination with our Educational Assistance Program help us make good on the promise, but we expect to continue increasing the ratio of internal promotions to external hires as we evolve in the years to come. As you mention, providing competitive pay and rewarding team members for strong performance is a must, as well. To that end, we’ve made a few recent changes to compensation structures and encourage candid conversations on this topic at any time, but we’ll absolutely take your feedback into account as we explore new ways to further enhance the experience of our team members. If you’d like to share any additional thoughts or suggestions, feel free to reach out to me directly by email (rroos@venterraliving.com) or by phone (905-717-8264). Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and advice here!

Pros

Company allows for responsibility to make a change. Everyone is extremely pleasant to work with, and leadership allows for opportunities to grow with the organization. There is no limit to what you can do here to make an impact. I could not love a company more to work for.

Cons

Only negative I can think of is I wish the company offered more benefits. They seem a little limited compared to other companies.

Pros

Built an incredible, skilled, and caring on-site team. The residents were wonderful to work with, and my team worked tirelessly to support them.

Cons

Complete lack of leadership, onboarding, and corporate support. I was placed in charge of a portfolio asset with systemic, expensive structural repairs that directly impacted resident health and quality of living. Instead of receiving corporate resources, regional management expected me to use unapproved, half-assed methods to "band-aid" these serious issues. When I refused to comply with these unsafe methods to protect the residents, I was immediately and unceremoniously terminated over a Zoom call under a vague guise of "miscommunication." This company would rather silence managers and lie to their investors than admit to real property failures and address them competently. They will happily let you sacrifice your own health, well-being, and personal finances for a property, only to throw you away when you stand up for what is right.
