Pros

Play is standard for the industry.

Cons

Do not trust the glowing reviews, as they are obviously written by corporate types and sycophants. I worked there for a year after they bought the original company out from under us, and they wasted no time in setting everyone up for failure. All of the original employees of the bought-out company left in disgust, except for a few holdouts who were too desperate to leave. Better yet, don't believe any of the reviews; instead, go to work for VG and see for yourself how dysfunctional a company can be. But, if you've never worked in apartment management before, you'll have no point of reference to judge by. I, however, worked in the apartment business for thirty years, and while it is a tough environment full of drama, where everything is an "emergency" and you spend your day "putting out fires" and dealing with spoiled---even delusional---residents, VG ratchets-up the drama by playing suppliers off against each other while parts aren't being ordered and residents are getting angry. They often don't pay their bills, so that you have to rush like mad to find another supplier to order from---and that's on a good day. Much more can and does go wrong. For instance; last I heard, they still haven't replaced the inoperable sewage pumps at the property I worked at because they still haven't accepted a bid---quibbling over pennies on an urgent necessity while freely spending more than half as much on pool furniture without batting an eye. And that situation has been festering for nearly a year. Fortunately for the residents, they've had a portable system in place until they make up their minds. But, like I said, don't take my word for it. Work for VG, and if you like it, there's something very wrong with you and you deserve each other. If you see the company for the farce that it is, then rest assured, your sanity is at least partly intact---then run screaming into the night while you're still sane.

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.
