Pros

Colleagues were excellent!! Pay was competitive

Cons

Micromanaged to justify their jobs but they are non essential. No flexibility in job schedule No trust by management in their employees When faced with normal everyday challenges Management lacks the communication skills necessary to succeed and will punish their employees due to their inefficiencies Business impact not factored in and everything is priority Threatening employees to do work that is not in their job description Hostile environment If you want to learn how not to run an IT Department this is the place for you If prioritized and organized 2 to 3 employees (full time and not contract or Managed Services) could effectively run the infrastructure operation Unable to retain top talent Brute force attack to a domain controller and radius server that was being hit over 60,000 times for days. They were not concerned at all. ​

Pros

Nothing differentiating; pay is good, insurance is good; They’re competitive. There's nothing that would make you say, "Wow you work for RMR!"

Cons

The CIO has historically been a rude, abusive bully with a penchant for demeaning folks both in meetings and in the privacy of his office. In 20 years I have not witnessed such blatant disrespect for skilled professional staff. Make no mistake, no one ever left the organization because the CIO wanted to be too progressive. Both he and his principal director have elevated (and unjustifiable) senses of their own importance and sophistication, and while not stupid people by any stretch, have had a consistent knack for demotivating and ultimately driving out a considerable amount if IT talent. They meddle and disempower. They don't trust their folks, are myopic, and egocentric. Upper "management"...aka the ownership...will tell you that they pay attention to reviews and feedback but have received a considerable amount of consistent reports regarding this dynamic duo. They could care less and for the most part seem stuck in an archaic management mode. Go back and look at reviews for REIT Management & Research…the original name, recently changed no doubt in part to try to escape their horrible reputation.

Pros

Good pay and benefits nice office to work in. Great hard working and dedicated staff in the regions. Everyone is super dedicated to their jobs and the tenants

Cons

Plan to be at this companies becking call. Cover your butt, management treats you like a child, I was hired on saying they give 10-15% bonus and raises which is the reason I normally put in 60+ hours a week, nights and weekends are expected but come bonus time they will find excuses to hardly give you anything. My office works on a skeleton crew and in a high stress environment with piling demands from corporate hour after hour. I hardly have time to do "property management" for the tenants. Upper management sees the people in the field as peaons when they come to town We are lucky to get a hello.
