Pros
I literally can’t think of one pro.
Cons
Terrible leadership, slumlords for owners, zero culture and antiquated systems. I should’ve known the first day I arrived and was not met by a AVP or their boss that I may have made a mistake coming to this company. I was greeted by some other manager helping out from another state. She literally handed me a stack of post-it notes with “issues” from residents. She was very excited to have me there so she could go outside and smoke a few cigarettes before she left for the airport 6 hours early to go back home. I guess that’s how you get onboarding at RAM. Let’s talk about helpdesk. It’s literally trying to get Trump to answer questions from reporters during his covid press conferences. You gotta ask nicely or your a nasty person with a nasty question. These people are the most condescending vile people I’ve worked with. Helpdesk should be helpful. Maybe Michael Wise should take over in that department. He’s literally the only good thing going in this catastrophe of a company. Don’t get excited about the IT infer structure-because that’s a joke as well. Reporting is archaic. It’s literally a good 15 years behind anyone else in the industry. Ownership-slum lords. I couldn’t fix FLS issues. Lightbulbs in parking lots, poles leaning over, roofs leaking...all on hold. I had a water pipe burst. Wasn’t allowed to call a restoration company to repair a thing because it’s too expensive. Ownership not only yelled like lunatics to managers but to VP’s in front of managers. So don’t get your hopes up if your looking for a professional environment. Let’s talk about how POORLY Covid was handled. The condescending calls from leadership to the onsite teams made the teams hate working for this company. They didn’t protect sites fast enough. Other companies offered LOTS of PPE during covid kick off, closed offices faster, rotating schedules. Don’t expect RAM to do anything for you in that fashion. I struggled delivering messages to my team as I knew it was wrong. To put it simply - you are disposable to RAM and they are not an employee-centric company. Zero culture—-ZERO. My AVP didn’t Have any regional meetings she ran. She came to my property and got on calls. There was no strategy discussion...ever. Zero support. My AVP didn’t really help me with anything. My interactions were brief with her. I’ve never felt so disconnected to an AVP. Additionally, the other AVP that was her counterpart...not sure how she still has a job. The vile tone in which she speaks to people is going to land RAM in a discrimination suit.
