Pros
- Training is pretty comprehensive; covers many of the scenarios you'll cover at work so you feel prepared. - Good opportunity to learn a great deal about the property management industry and diversify your skill set. - Great relationship building with upper management, i.e. the Regional Manager. - If interested in pursing a career in property management, there is room for growth. - Bozzuto definitely aims to hire some really great people. I was lucky enough to work with some of the most wonderful co-workers; they made everything much more bearable. - There's a big awards ceremony in the spring which is fun and affords you the chance to let a little loose.
Cons
- Salary is far too low for what the vast majority of Sales and Service Associates have to deal with on a day to day basis. - One weekend off a month doesn't seem so bad at first, but after the first few months, it starts to take a serious toll on your well-being and on any social life you plan on having. Not having two consecutive days off during the week gets to be draining. - Oftentimes, there's no way you could take a lunch break or time off without risking falling far behind in your work. - Seemingly constant turnover leads to covering two positions at once, with very little help from the Property Manager. - Depending on your property, ownership may be very involved, which can be a huge annoyance. - Bonus structure is definitely over-hyped. You won't make as much as you think you will or deserve. - The Sales and Service Associate position makes you feel unappreciated. You hold one of the more important positions of initial contact with the residents and prospects, and unfortunately, aren't really treated as such.
