Great Company but too much micro-managing - Assistant Manager BRE Properties Employee Review

Great opportunities for those starting out in property management to gain experience. Fluid communication between on-site departments makes the workplace efficient and successful.

Resident interactions may vary and can be stressful.

Bonuses were difficult to achieve due to the requirements constantly changing and being a bit unobtainable. However, if you are good at what you do, then you can make some decent money. Beautiful communities, several wonderful individuals to work with.

It seemed like upper management lost touch with how things really are day-to-day on site. Some of their best leasers were trying to communicate what was/wasn't working and they were punished for trying to offer other suggestions. The typical "we care what you think" but don't listen attitude you see with most big companies. Secret shops are pretty much a joke. I watched some of the most successful leasers get let go due to "failed" shops, by the way a 85 is considered failing. If they would let occupancy percentages and leases speak for themselves, they'd have endless success.
