Pros

I enjoyed my colleagues and direct coworkers; they worked tirelessly and bent over backwards to achieve the goals given to them.

Cons

The management culture is genuinely harmful. Interpersonal treatment from leadership crossed the line from “demanding” into behavior that eroded confidence and wellbeing over time. This is not the normal friction of a fast-paced job; it’s a pattern that made people second-guess themselves and dread interactions that should have been routine. Paranoia and tension run rampant in the corporate and onsite offices. Expectations of L&D are disconnected from reality. The pace of organizational change consistently outruns the time required to build accurate, quality learning content. You are asked to produce polished, dependable materials on timelines that don’t allow for the accuracy the work actually demands, and then held accountable when the ground shifts underneath you mid-project. There is little to no psychological safety. Raising concerns, flagging risks, or pushing back on unrealistic timelines is not met with curiosity or support. That absence of safety compounds everything else: people stop surfacing problems, quality suffers quietly, and the same cycle repeats.

Pros

Company allows for responsibility to make a change. Everyone is extremely pleasant to work with, and leadership allows for opportunities to grow with the organization. There is no limit to what you can do here to make an impact. I could not love a company more to work for.

Cons

Only negative I can think of is I wish the company offered more benefits. They seem a little limited compared to other companies.

Pros

Built an incredible, skilled, and caring on-site team. The residents were wonderful to work with, and my team worked tirelessly to support them.

Cons

Complete lack of leadership, onboarding, and corporate support. I was placed in charge of a portfolio asset with systemic, expensive structural repairs that directly impacted resident health and quality of living. Instead of receiving corporate resources, regional management expected me to use unapproved, half-assed methods to "band-aid" these serious issues. When I refused to comply with these unsafe methods to protect the residents, I was immediately and unceremoniously terminated over a Zoom call under a vague guise of "miscommunication." This company would rather silence managers and lie to their investors than admit to real property failures and address them competently. They will happily let you sacrifice your own health, well-being, and personal finances for a property, only to throw you away when you stand up for what is right.
