Pros

The job was gratifying and educational. Forget everything you know about GAAP; MAA has its own! I learned a great deal while working at MAA and got to work with a genuinely fantastic, honest, and ethical leadership team. The COO did so well that he could retire at 53 years old. MAA has its own plane, allowing them to tour the country. Unfortunately, I was never invited on the plane ☹ They offer a generous employee discount , 20% on apartment homes, and I was able to have my adopted dog with me because they have no breed restrictions in their communities! The corporate headquarters is lovely and was built a couple of years ago. There is a team atmosphere at the company; they enjoy taking risks if there is a profitable reward. I have never had a job where I have learned so many accounting techniques! Thank you, MAA!

Cons

I wish the company offered us stocks as part of their retirement program.

Pros

MAA is a great REIT; it was a pleasure learning how they operate. I worked there from 2016 to 2021 and enjoyed it very much. I will never forget how MAA treated me; I have made some lifelong connections. They have a winning attitude when making money and ensure they do anything they can to improve their profits. They sincerely care about ensuring their employees understand their values and go out of their way to ensure that everyone learns them. When it comes to residents, MAA goes out of its way to ensure they follow the lease to the letter to avoid violating “fair housing.” Whether breaking your lease early, management issues, damage to your apartment, or any other issues, they ensure that the resident knows they are responsible. MAA does not guarantee your safety or that your property will not be damaged, this is part of fair housing. They sincerely care about making sure everyone follows the lease, no matter what the issue may be. MAA also employs some of the most ethical and talented people I have ever met! They ensure they always do the right thing for the company, no matter the cost. Kudos, MAA, and keep up the great stuff!

Cons

Worked a lot of hours.

Cons

Poor management. Company does not support growth opportunities. Compensation is terrible compared to comps. Properties are not kept up to the level at which they’d like you to sell.
