AIY Properties

Typical day: getting screamed at by tenants and your manager for things completely outside of your control. Property managers have no say in anything, and regional managers hide behind a mask of the property manager.
There is zero ability to have pride in your work considering the high micromanagement.

Management here is not the best at all. It is micromanage galore with total blame on everyone on the property but the regional.
You'll get a lecture for not coming in early or staying late, and are expected to work 9 hours out of the day and stick to the schedule. They are not even a LITTLE bit flexible on hours and times or doctors appointments. Even if you're an hour late and stay an hour late, you have to use personal time for your hour late.

The environment is toxic. They always look for a scapegoat. I worked with some amazing people and saw the blame pushed on them as they were out the door, then it was all blame and talking bad about the last person in your position. Very unprofessional. 

The managers. Holy Bananas, the regional managers are some of the most unqualified individuals i have ever met in their roles. Not a single good regional is left. Company will also push your boundaries and disrespect them repetitively. They will always see what they can get away with.

I was with AIY for over eight years and truly valued my time there. I developed strong working relationships with colleagues at every level—from administrative staff to the partners—and took pride in contributing to the company’s growth.

Throughout my tenure, I worked under several regional managers, and while each had a different management style, I was always adaptable and committed to maintaining a positive and productive work environment. However, when the most recent regional manager took over, the workplace culture began to shift significantly. Unfortunately, her leadership style created an environment that became increasingly difficult to thrive in. Despite raising concerns through the appropriate channels, the situation did not improve.

This experience deeply affected my confidence and morale, and I ultimately made the decision to move on. I’m grateful for the lessons learned and the years of experience I gained with AIY. I’m now with a family-owned property management company that values teamwork, respects its employees, and allows me the autonomy to truly manage effectively. I’m much happier and more fulfilled in my new role. 

Let me start off by saying that I have been in Property Management for over 20 years - in various roles consisting of Property Manager, Regional Manager, Director of Training and Development.  All of my past experience probably has allowed for my transition to another company to be smooth.  

The Property Manager role will have you wearing many hats.  You will be a coach, you will be a sales expert, a liaison between your residents and staff.  No two days are ever the same.  This is what I have always enjoyed about Property Management.  

I have a wonderful Regional Manager who is always willing to offer encouragement and support.  The amount of support I have gotten from her and other Property Managers has been outstanding.  It truly is a team environment where everyone collaborates and all voices are always heard.  

I believe there is room for advancement at this company - as they continue to grow.  For me, this is a plus.

If you are looking for a stable environment where you can learn and grow - give AIY your consideration.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
My managing director is very knowledgeable and has thought me so much about the industry and is constantly working with me to make me better in my position. I was promoted about three months ago and his support has been amazing. The entire management team I work with is the best group of people I have ever worked with in my 18 years in the industry. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
We make situations stressful. It’s a choice. You can chose to be stressed or you can chose to be happy. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We work hard to create a positive culture and boost moral. This industry is very challenging so we work together to keep the culture positive 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of moving parts and things to do. From working with the field staff on daily operations to large projects. Never a dull moment

People get to walk into positions that they don’t deserve while others are constantly going above and beyond to help and said call leagues, walk into positions and they don’t deserve. It seems like the people that don’t do anything or go against company guidelines get promoted or congratulated faster than the ones that put everything into it and aren’t appreciated. There’s definitely favoritism in the offices and the managers took more drama than anybody in the office. I was targeted just straight for being on FMLA. They are not family oriented and give us zero care about you as an employee I got laid off in November and told that I was to move out of my apartment by December 31, which is not a big deal except for it’s Christmas . Thanks for putting my kids out a I Y if you’re looking for a job don’t go there. 

Job in and off itself was not horrible. (The customer’s are ok until they chase you down in your car and the company refuses to add additional security for the safety of their staff) Management is selfish and only one thing on their mind, themselves. They will make comments about your personal life behind your back to other people. Then those comments will be used against you later. The job gave me horrible anxiety. The pay is ok. Just do you know…..your bonus structure is made to not pay you the full potential you could. You have a goal to hit every week, if you obtain that goal there is a bonus, the company states that is a goal and they know you could perform better. But if you do, there are no extra incentive or even additional people to help with the insane amount of paper work needed to be completed. DO NOT LIVE THERE NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE DISCOUNT THEY GIVE. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyday is different.  There is always drama in the office but if you stay out of it, it makes your day a lot better.  I really did like my co-workers. If I did my job, I really didn’t hear from my manager. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some tenants do come in upset. Sometimes just listening to them really helps calm them down. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I worked at a busy office. Some of my co workers didn’t get along with each other but I just did my own thing and stayed out of it. I know some people moved up in the company from positions like mine which is nice to hear. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start my day checking emails then see what tours I have scheduled or lease signings I have. In between get paperwork and follow ups done.

1) Typical work day - Usually work 8AM-5:30. Handling day-to-day operations  
2) What I have learned- I have learned a lot about the industry and continue to learn which is very rewarding.
3) Management- Management is supportive and is willing to do whatever to assist and help
4) Workplace culture- Culture can be created. Management works on this all the time and the company is doing what they can to make it better
5) The hardest part of the job- I have a lot of responsibility. So it's making sure I'm keeping up and completing my tasks.  
6) The most enjoyable part of the job- Honestly, it's the group of people I work with. Very fortunate to work with people who care and are compassionate. They are always there for you and are willing to help. The core of this team is strong.
