Pros
There are a lot of great co-workers. The hours were flexible.
Cons
They promote and reward managers who practice verbally and emotionally abusive behaviors, as well as managers who act obsequiously. Upper management rarely verbalizes appreciation for lower level employees. When they do verbalize it, their actions speak volumes compared to their words and it’s been proven time and time again that they truly don’t care about dedicated hard working employees. They reward sycophants generously. Manager of the year can be bought with coffee and doughnuts for the corporate office staff. Managers and maintenance techs are forced to take online training that most (if not all) corporate employees should take, but don’t. Courses on how to treat coworkers and employees; how not to be discriminatory; how to be tactful via email message and successfully communicate with other employees; and time management, yet few corporate employees practice or are capable of doing any of the previously mentioned abilities. Managers are often held to a higher standard than their superiors. Many times, community managers questions and concerns go ignored and unanswered. In response to the current pandemic, this company put on a mandatory meeting for all employees (200+) putting hundreds if not thousands at risk. Calling in sick lead to intimidation tactics via text message even though the employee was coughing with a headache. This “mandatory meeting” could have been done virtually, but they care so little for their employees health and well being that they put everyone working for the company and in the Tigard community at risk. The corporate office put a safety net in place for full time employees by converting their vacation time to paid sick leave, when asked what they would do for part time employees they ignored the question and are seemingly planning to leave part timers to fend for themselves. They pay females much less than their male counter parts. Female employees living onsite have their rent increased more than their male counter parts (I.e. a female in the portfolio will get a $60 rent increase, and a male will get a $20 increase). They offer newly hired assistant managers a higher wage than some of their employees who have been employed for 3-4 years, and when hiring for corporate positions they offer out of network males a higher hourly wage than highly qualified females already employed by the company. The top 1% of this corporation makes 100k+ salaries combined and tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses and benefits, while lower level employees are dependent upon the local food banks Princeton donates to just to feed their family and still pay rent.
