Pros

None. It was a toxic environment and I didn't feel safe at work.

Cons

The company says they have a training program. The training program is actually just corporate propaganda on how great the company is. You have to take these training courses in order to get promoted. Promotions have nothing to do with job performance, only taking the courses and passing them to the satisfaction of management. I really felt more like a cult. Management encourages deceptive sales tactics, false advertising, and overall sleazy behavior. Your safety is not important at all. The cameras don’t work, buildings have problems with theft, break-ins, and homeless drug addicts squatting in the building. You’re not allowed to carry mace, etc. to protect yourself. Management gets their bonus based on profit margins so they defer any and all maintenance to increase their bonus. Meanwhile, the onsite staff is left to deal with broken equipment, complaints from residents, and a building that’s falling apart due to neglect. Management will arbitrarily raise rents for no reason other than they want to make more money. The decision is never based on comp studies, vacancy rates, or any logic. If you express concern that the rents are higher than every other comp in the area, they will tell you to “just get more leases”. All sites are understaffed to increase management’s bonus. I finally left the company after two years of stress, low pay, toxic culture, and being moved from site to site every few months due to understaffing. When I put my notice in, I was given a cold shoulder from management who didn’t even recognize me, or offer any type of professionalism related to someone leaving a company. I was like I didn’t exist the last two weeks I was there. The HR department also cancelled my health insurance immediately and did not offer COBRA. I lost my health insurance and was completely blindsided. The following year after leaving the company I had to reach out to corporate because I didn’t get my W-2 on time. It was a huge hassle and very stressful. This was on-par with the number of former residents who would call and say they never got their security deposit back. Overall, it was an awful experience and I don’t recommend this company.

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.
