Pros
Creative Freedom- Treat the buildings like your own is finally a true statement. We are not given budgets filled with other people's ideas to execute with no understanding. We learn how to build them ourselves with the improvements that will help us in the future. Support Systems- Grady has a wide range of employees some who have been here for over 30yrs and newbies like my self under two years, being able to reach out and not feel like you are bothering people has been so welcoming! Encouraging- Not only do we have a fair amount of creative freedom to essentially be a factor in major community changes, but it is encouraged to think outside of the box and share from everyone has a voice.
Cons
Change often comes fast- However feedback on a change is encouraged as how things impact us on site matters. This is not a con, but I will say it may be challenging to adjust if you are not already confident in your craft as a Community Manager. With the freedoms and flexibilities to push industry or property "standards" being a self-starter is needed. PTO- is earned, but slow to acquire.
