Pros

Really great colleagues. Private bathroom stalls. Making connections with members for future jobs.

Cons

12-16 hour days with no lunch break, no compensation. Working events 2-3 times a week just in order to be a body and a number on a spreadsheet. Was told by HQ (during a meeting that lasted until 10:30 pm) that the reason why Associate Community Managers don't receive overtime pay is because it's a "Senior Managerial Role", even though they have no managerial powers. Consistently watched fast overturn of employees in the city, firings at will for petty/no reasons. Promotions are based off of favoritism and popularity contests, rather than merit and tenure. Tenure is worthless, and no one in management knows what they're doing. Everyone is being yelled at from the person above them, and no one knows how to actually manage a group and keep the culture alive. No upward mobility on Community Team, and no respect for the work you put in. Say goodbye to work/life balance. There's a ceiling that you'll hit, and you will either be fired or will leave the company. So just don't bother at all.

Pros

Great benefits package with stock options. Very flexible when it comes to time off. Offers great networking opportunities

Cons

You're overworked and underpaid considering all you have to do. Have to wear multiple hats and constantly do things outside of your job role. Eventually you'll hit a glass ceiling in terms of promotion. Has too much of a cult-like environment

Pros

-Many team members are working hard trying to hold onto what was good and support each other. - Most members have interesting businesses. - Free beer and food (for when you work 12-16hrs) - You can say you were a part of a international powerhouse (before it crashes) - Good career advancement (because of the high turnover lots of positions open up all the time)

Cons

-You will have to work 55-65 hours a week without lunch breaks, additional compensation, or even a thank you. - 10 hour days at the buildings and 3-4 nights a week for internal and external sales events. -Make no mistake - this is a corporate real estate sales job. They will feed you lines about a grand mission of the company but the only thing that drives decisions is making sure we hit sales goals and keep our high valuation. -Fear based management style where your job is threatened for infractions ranging from not hitting numbers, missing a number in a spreadsheet, or having an opinion -All departments are understaffed and overworked so it takes a long time to resolve issues. -The buildings are cheaply put together leaving major construction, operational, and maintenance issues for the Community Team to resolve. - Expanding too quickly so teams end up competing with each other which has shifted the dynamic of the entire team. Instead the team members have to protect their own butts. - very high turnover - Check out the multiple articles on lawsuits and financials to get a clearer picture of where this company is headed.
