Village Green reviews

- favoritism is real at Village Green - if your not the clingy type you will not go far - Absolutely no support - Horrible work/life balance- - Communication from upper management is nonexistent - Corporate doesn't not step in until the problem is too big - the point finger on where the problem is. - horrible accounts payable - you will have vendors calling you every day - Lots of training- you will think you need a 10 min sales call, lots of snack in the office and free stuff like gift card to get a rental. - Lots of training- you will learn everything on how to do your bosses job but no real class work on how it’s done correctly. Just the half version on how it’s suppose to be done - Lots of training- lots of class taught by the same person that teaches the same thing each time. - You will always feel replaceable - Micromanagement - have another spreadsheet if you will - The marketing director they hire are clueless- of course they learned from the classes that retaught the same thing over and over. No a gift card does not get someone to apply. - area director - what’s that? They run them so thin you may never see them. -

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.
