DO NOT WORK HERE - Property Manager Conifer Realty Employee Review

Conifer Realty truly cares about its employees and residents. I’ve came on board in the midst of the companies transition and witnessed a positive shift in the company’s culture, and it’s inspiring to see leadership committed to continuous improvement. The work environment is collaborative and inclusive, where everyone feels valued and supported. Management is approachable and genuinely invested in employee growth and development. The benefits package is competitive, and work-life balance is respected, which makes a big difference. I’m proud to work for a company that is dedicated to affordable housing and making a real impact in communities, it feels good to be part of something meaningful.

Like any growing organization, there can be occasional challenges with communication across departments. For example, when new initiatives roll out, updates don’t always reach every team at the same time, which can lead to minor delays or duplicated efforts. Sometimes priorities shift quickly, and it takes a little extra coordination to ensure everyone is aligned. However, leadership is aware of these issues and has been proactive in addressing them by implementing better internal communication tools, hosting regular cross-department meetings, and encouraging feedback from employees. These efforts are making a noticeable difference and show the company’s commitment to continuous improvement.

Depending on your job, you get to work remotely

Over the last year, almost all of senior management has changed over…which was disappointing as many of them were well liked and respected amongst the company and community. The new management is very disorganized and there is lots of infighting - and not many people have experience working with them or where they worked prior. The experience level is lacking what is needed to collectively steer an organization like Conifer to health. New CEO speaks in broad comments but doesn’t actually carry out any of the initiatives he commits to…I haven’t seen a single initiative completed that was outlined as a “must do” when he started…it’s been very confusing when the head of the company keeps changing direction and plans. All in all, the executive team is a concern and performance continues to get worse and worse. Beyond the executive team, conifer used to be a place where employees felt they mattered and were valued. Now there are no events, get togethers, team building or personal development opportunities. All signaling an executive team that can’t get aligned and doesn’t truly understand how to run the business.
