Great place to work - too bad they sold the company. I really liked working there.

Business Outlook

Pros

The job had good benefits and great co-workers. It was a nice and clean office. There was a parking deck so it felt very safe.

Cons

I did not particularly like the annual review set up. I didn't feel I got any working feedback. The review process was anonymous so there was no way to discuss improvements etc. in person except for with the immediate supervisor.

Good and Stable Company. Lots of room to grow.

Property manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of room to grow. A lot of support from regional teams that other companies do not seem to have in line. That is important to have the "go to" people available for help.

Cons

A lot of changes and upsets lately. Company has grown and merged and seems like we are a little lost in the crowd now with the growth. New procedures and policies and systems that don't seem to working well together.

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay and commission is decent.

Cons

The company used to be Colonial and even then they did not care about their employees. It was always tense no matter where you were. They do not give opportunities for advancement. They interview one girl for 3 different manager spots, and still was not given the job because she "didnt have enough experience" when she has been with the company for 3 years and an assistant for 10 years. They play favorites. worst company if you have children or want to have a life. Forget asking for time away. I had the absolute worst experience while working there. I worked with COlonial/MAA for almost 2 years-stuck it out that long because i was waiting for a different opportunity. You don't get support from MAA. I worked at 2 different properties-the first one i was training to get promoted. i transferred to a different property, and forget the training..."it was important". TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE company. Please stay away
