The fluff on the outside hides a lack of caring for employees - Anonymous employee AvalonBay Communities Employee Review

Pros

It's an easy company to work for as long as you show up and do what you are supposed to.

Cons

HR teams in multiple regions dismiss serious offenses (sexual harassment, anti-semitic comments, homophobic comments, sexist comments, lack of equal opportunity); in fact, managers who check all of these boxes as an offender end up getting promoted. Also the company had no empathy for employees needing COVID vaccine exemptions, and went through a third party company opposed to their own HR team, resulting in associates not being recognized as actual human beings and inhumane terminations.

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.
