Poor leadership creates a hostile and unstable workplace. Poor Leadership Created a Hostile and Unstable Work Environment Cons: The primary issue at this property is management. Leadership consistently created unnecessary friction among staff, showed favoritism, and applied rules and discipline inconsistently. From early on—even during the hiring process—there were signs of disorganization and disengagement from management. Once employed, multiple staff members experienced ongoing issues, including frequent schedule changes, resistance around reasonable time-off requests, and a lack of clear communication. One employee in particular was placed under extreme pressure, expected to handle concierge and maintenance responsibilities for a 300+ unit building largely alone. Despite strong performance and no meaningful prior write-ups, discipline was suddenly escalated to a final warning. Coworkers who reviewed the situation felt the documentation was inaccurate and unfairly represented the employee’s work. During the same period, resident complaints increased and morale declined. Rather than addressing operational and leadership shortcomings, management often shifted blame onto staff—even when residents themselves were pointing to management issues as the cause. There were also concerning staffing and oversight decisions. Coverage gaps were created during critical morning shifts, while overlapping coverage appeared later in the day. This resulted in neglected building upkeep and perimeter checks, despite clear expectations being communicated. Employees raised concerns internally, but these issues were not meaningfully addressed. Additionally, there were unresolved concerns around inappropriate monitoring and privacy in staff areas. These concerns were observed by multiple employees, reported, and ultimately ignored. Overall, there was a pattern of mismanagement, lack of accountability, and retaliation rather than support.
Make friends with your higher ups. That’s the only way to get promoted. If your higher ups don’t know you. Expect to stay in your position.
Strong support from management, but RMM hard to reach Great support from both community manager, RPM and construction manager. RMM sometime hard to get hold of and never see them on site.
uppermanagment doesnt often care about the onsite teams
