Limit on pay increases and not a true evaluation on the associate. "I cannot score you higher on your evaluation because I'm only allowed to give x number of increases" This is belittling and demeaning to myself and others. It gives no sense of appreciation and or motivation.
The workload should coincide with the pay. The neighborhood is an excellent concept but poorly executed because it currently only benefits the company. Adding extra work and expenses such as vehicle use without compensation.
Company continuously shares excitement for the income growth occurring while simultaneously scrutinizing associate recognition spending and cutting events for the associates as well as increasing management bonuses and management events/gatherings.
Develop a deeper understanding of the roles and responsibilities of onsite teams, particularly in relation to the unique social and political climates of the communities they serve. Sales Leaders and Directors should are not attuned to the challenges faced by associates on a daily basis.
Reevaluate the methodology for determining rental charges and renewal increases for associates living on site. Recognize the significant discrepancy between rent hikes, which can be as high as 10%, and pay raises, which often fall short at just a few cents on the dollar or a mere 3%. This discrepancy has lead to feelings of underappreciation among onsite associates and one of many reasons that I do not find myself at AvalonBay in the next 12 months.
