Vantaggi

1 - A pay check if you need one 2- Free breakfast on Friday 3- Great employees to work with 4- Good location with shuttle to Metro 5- Company makes an effort to keep employees motivated

Svantaggi

Company culture is the worst. Each department wants to do their own thing without knowing there is a client waiting for a resolution to a case. Only Client Services (CS) is hold accountable for cases that other departments won't do in a timely manner. Billing and Accounting are the worst, from overcharging customers to not charging customer for 6 months. CS must deal with everybody's mess and management is not there to support you. Project Management is another big problem. Bad / wrong installations and yet again CS has to fix the problem under pressure. The other big issues are the tools with need to work with, the software is unreliable and system support department is not always there to help you. Good luck finding a system specialist on a Friday afternoon. No matching 401K. Disengaged Management Team Lack of leadership and professionalism in the Management team Poor training Frankenstein Organization (They haven’t quite put it together yet)

Vantaggi

* The Service Team was incredibly helpful and often served as one of the most valuable resources for learning the role.They were knowledgeable, approachable, and willing to assist when issues arose. * Exposure to a wide variety of clients and systems within the property management and access control industry. * Friendly coworkers and opportunities to gain industry experience.

Svantaggi

* Training within the Multi-Family division was highly inconsistent and lacked structure. During my time with the company, there was no dedicated training program tailored to Multi-Family operations. New employees received generic onboarding and were expected to learn many role-specific responsibilities through LinkedIn Learning courses, word of mouth, and by repeatedly asking Customer Success Managers for guidance. Who many times would tell you to figure it out yourself. *Only the former CSM was actively updating materials and new information coming in. Once she left it was always the answer of “oh yes so and so would update that”. Ok who is doing it now!? * This approach was especially difficult because every client has unique requirements, workflows, and exceptions that are not adequately covered through generic training. * There was a contradictory culture surrounding questions and training. I was frequently encouraged to ask questions, but when questions were asked, the response was often frustration or being told to “figure it out yourself.” At the same time, if employees attempted to work independently without asking questions, they could also be criticized for not seeking guidance. This created confusion and made it difficult for new employees to know what was expected of them. * Management and communication within parts of the team could be improved. Some interactions felt unnecessarily confrontational or passive-aggressive rather than constructive and focused on development. * Accountability was inconsistent, with process and training deficiencies often being overlooked while responsibility was placed on individual employees. *Accountability and performance management appeared to be applied inconsistently. When I made mistakes, they were often addressed through formal one-on-one discussions and corrective conversations. However, similar mistakes made by others were sometimes treated more casually or brushed off. This created a perception of unequal standards and made it difficult to understand what expectations were being applied across the team. *As a temporary employee, I was frequently told that permanent hiring was “in process,” yet there appeared to be little meaningful movement toward conversion. The repeated assurances without clear timelines or updates created unrealistic expectations and left employees feeling strung along.
