Pros

A few perks in the break room if the vultures leave anything for the rest of the place, decent health benefits and vacation.

Cons

Avoid at all costs. This is the most unhealthy and toxic work environment I have ever experienced. Nepotism and favoritism run rampant. Most people are promoted on who they know, not what they know, or whose you know what is kissed. Hostile work environment, racism, harassment, bullying and inappropriate behavior are overlooked (seemingly encouraged) if you are "in" with the right people. The employess who deserve promotions and raises are spurned and ignored, or made to go through rigorous steps in order to advance their careers. The office gossip and slander is worse than a soap opera. Backstabbing seems to be de rigueur for this place. Culture and values are a joke. Bogus awards, all fixed by a "committee". If you don't drink the kool-aid or bleed green, you'll never get anywhere. Management have no desire to listen to anyone but themselves.

Thank you for your feedback. At Village Green, we strive to create a culture and environment that is open, fair, and inclusive to every associate. Hearing that your experience was anything less than that is truly disheartening. We have a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, harassment, or discrimination of any kind, and while we do encourage associates to connect and rely on each other, we do not and cannot support nepotism as it risks the company’s overall productivity and professional merit.

Pros

Unfortunately, I cannot provide any pros based on my experience.

Cons

Village Green is easily the worst company I have ever worked for. The organization operates in complete chaos with deeply unethical leadership, zero accountability, and an absolutely toxic culture from the top down. Employees are treated as disposable, constantly misled, overworked, and blamed for failures created by incompetent management. Fear, favoritism, retaliation, and dishonesty were normalized daily. The company showed a shocking disregard for professionalism, employee wellbeing, operational standards, and resident trust. Turnover was extreme for a reason — competent employees do not stay. Leadership consistently protected themselves instead of fixing serious issues, and the environment became mentally draining and impossible to thrive in. I would strongly discourage anyone from working here or trusting this company with their career. In my experience, this organization should not be managing people, properties, or teams at the scale it does.
