Pros

Some positives would be the good hours, stable` pay, and the insurance. I love my residents so much and they are the only reason that I have been able to last this long in such a toxic environment.

Cons

It does not matter how hard you work, you will NEVER be recognized for it. They say they hire up within the company, however I have seen on numerous occasions, perfectly qualified, hard workers not even being considered with no good reason as to why. Corporate, upper management is completely untouchable, it does not matter what they do or how they treat people, nothing will ever change. I have seen employee turnover after turnover because of the regional manager and it doesn't seem to be looked at. It has been made very clear to everyone currently employed under them that nothing will change, and we have been told to go ahead and find a new job. IRET does NOT care about their employees in any way shape or form. They also do not offer a very high discount on rent, considering most property management companies offer free housing to employees. The pay is also considerably lower than competing properties. It has been empty promise, after promise.

Pros

They have great benefits and pto!

Cons

Some of the worst management! The Regional above me was corrupt and a liar. I won't say who it was but it rhymes with Vulmer. She does not care about her employees and did anything she could to bully her employees. She is known in the company for being a gossiper and showing favortism. It was always her way or the highway. This is the kind of person Centerspace promotes. She got promoted last year and promoted the person that sucked up to her the most that had no idea what they were doing at their job. They have a bunch of fake, rude, bullying people in leadership. I was with this company for way too many years of my life. I put up with so much and am grateful that I made it out.

Pros

Benefits are good. 5% 401k match. They help contribute to HSA. Healthcare covers most things. PTO is decent (14 days I believe), plus 8 or 9 paid holidays.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Upper management doesn't care what feedback they get from site teams. If you say anything negative you "don't believe in the product". They don't trust site teams to do what needs to be done so they gatekeep everything and prolong any necessary process. Only cares about the money and bottom line. While that's important, customer relations needs to be more focused on. Never worked for a company that is so money-grubbing.
