Pros

-It's a stable and secure job, especially for a pandemic. -You get to visit other properties and enjoy new spaces and views from where you don't always get a chance to. (depending on the property you work on) -Starting pay is okay/dissent compare to a minimum wage.

Cons

-You realize you don't get paid enough to deal with a lot of flaws -you get a max of 2 weeks for a vacation after earning 80 hours of vacation. supposedly you can't cash out your vacation & sick time if you leave the company. and the max amount of vacation hours you can accumulate is around 280. -Other competitors seem to give you better deals (Based on my previous manager leaving after 10+ years working for them and another tech 3 leaving soon after) -Management has a lot of room for improvement

Pros

Company culture makes you really appreciate where you work. I definitely agree that is the "people" at AVB that make it great.

Cons

Nothing really... sometimes it is a bit of a struggle to wear so many hats.
