AMLI Residential

This company is highly sought out and seemingly desirable. The grass is not always greener on the other side. You will work hard, and possibly be overworked, for every single dime that you make on a daily basis.

The company is great to some people, if you happen to be on the in-crowd, but if you are not a community managers or higher, you will not be fully appreciated or respected.

Many of the newest opportunities in the company are "hand-picked" by development and upper management and new available positions are often not posted at all or pre-selected. Seasoned employees are often overlooked in the selection process for promotions.

Growth is often based on the side conversations that managers have regarding you, and it is rare to find community or service managers that know all aspects of the job or that even want to learn.

While there are some awesome people scattered throughout the company, there are certainly great, if not better, opportunities with other companies that you can thrive in! I would not recommend anyone to work for this company.

The bonus structure for leasing is fair in most instances, but I feel as though anyone below a community manager is underpaid for the workload expected.

This was once a great company to work for, but middle and senior management seem to have forgotten the maintenance staff are people, NOT machines! AMLI asks more of their maintenance staff than any other national company that I am aware of, only compensates at the going rate, but constantly pushes for even greater productivity in spite of maintenance teams being woefully understaffed and already overworked,
Leasing staff are supposed to have "sparkle kits" to touch-up clean their leases prior to move in - WHAT A JOKE! I've only seen ONE property that even HAD sparkle kits, and they were still factory sealed when I transferred a year later. Like most things the leasing staff are SUPPOSED to do to help maintain their property's amenities and curb appeal, (eg. cleaning and filling coffee machine, pick up litter when encountered, etc) these things typically entered as service requests on the already strain service teams.

AMLI  is a great place to work if you are working under the right people. The benefits aren't bad and the culture is strong. If you are in to giving back, AMLI is well known for that as they do a lot of volunteering for multiple organizations. I also really enjoyed the structure that they have in place as it gives less room for errors in your day to day operations. The part that I was not a fan of was management. You have to be able to work for the right person in order to succeed and if you bring sensitive matters to anyone higher up, just make sure you have proof of what you are talking about. The only other thing that wasn't the best was the hourly rate and the work/life balance- it was lower than a lot of competitors but not the lowest in the business. They also do have a really good commission structure, actually, the best I've seen! You also don't have the best work life balance since sometimes you can work a longer shift (around 11 hours or so) with minimal to no break.

On a scale of 1 to 10, AMLI gets an 8 from me hands down. Their bonus structure is great as you will be paid dependent upon lease type,length, rentable items etc... (Ex. 3 bedroom @ 1600 range with 2 car garage added might total up to 200 or more for one lease.) Rough math, however you get the bigger picture. So far I love this company and what it represents overall. Corporate is very approachable and they definitely take pride in educating their employees and promoting within. AMLI has one of the largest portfolios around and is always looking to buy or build, so with that being said their is always an opportunity to transfer/ relocate if need be. 4 stars for the company over all

From what I’ve noticed, AMLI seems to pay their leasing staff more (hourly & commission) than most other property mgmt companies. On top of that, they offer incentives for meeting certain goals & regularly recognize employees who are exceeding expectations. The work/life balance is great, & there are also many opportunities for advancement. With all that being said, every property is different, & the managers can sometimes make or break the team depending on how they run things. I also wish changes to the policies & online platforms AMLI uses would happen a little more gradually. Sometimes changes are abrupt & lead to confusion & inconsistency. 

The day starts by setting up the office, performing administrative and accounting procedures. Taking care of resident related issues and focus on sales and leasing. Putting together lease paperwork, maintain open communication with vendors and maintenance personnel. I've learned how to stay focused under pressure, remain on task while having to give immediate attention to residents and prospects. What I enjoy most is making people happy, finding solutions for problematic residents and prospects, giving presentations to prospective clients and building rapport. The hardest part of this job is staying on task while being constantly distracted and having to drop everything the moment the door opens.

The first 6 months were like a dream come true. I was able to provide 100% customer service to all of my Residents and Community. After receiving much recognition and awards for being on the leaders board for consecutive months, and being recognized in quarterly and year ending Dinners - they started treating me with the same respect as I received at the beginning. I know that no job is going to always be roses and great 24/7. Their lack of education and training me stopped and their expectations were altered. As I saw those around me being treated with no respect, I shortly found out that the management were letting my co-workers go for no reason, no notification, and no chance to either work on their performance or learn the right way to do it.

Great company overall. AMLI really cares about their residents and associates. I’ve worked for a couple of large management companies and AMLI BAKES the cake, TAKES the cake and EATS it too! 
Great compensation packages and benefits! 
In 2020, AMLI was transparent with residents and associates in need of assistance during trying times. I heard from people working with other brands/mgmt companies that they just “waited” for residents to come forward with a need due to COVID. That’s CRAZY!!  Residents suffered for various reasons. Some allowed their pride to get in the way. AMLI didn’t wait for someone to come forward. They extended a helping hand immediately and without fail.
In a time of need, you find out who your friends really are. I’m glad to call AMLI my “FAMLI” and Friend!
I do not wish to remain anonymous.

They expect you to do your best for them and I did learn a lot working with various people, as a service manager I learned how to organize my work. The work place culture was not really enjoyable, a lot of hypocrites within the management especially in GA, they will plot to do evil to employees they don’t like, and the worse is that the property managers are untouchable, even if you report them to HR, they will overlook the issue and move on as nothing has ever happened. The only good part of the job is when they started offering a free apartment to two men of the maintenance team, however I learned to never work hard again for anybody in my life and never trust nobody especially at work.

I've worked with AMLI for over 8 years and would say one of the best company's to work for. AMLI has a great culture with fantastic people to work with. Just not on the property but from the area VP to the company CEO on down take the time get to know you and your family. AMLI has a saying. Welcome to the "FAMLI" If someone is on the cusp on trying to figure out on what company would be best for them. Then let this review be your determining factor. They take care of all people in all positions. From porter, maintenance tech, turn tech, service manager, leasing agent, and so on. Not one position is more important then the other. AMLI has a low turn over rate when it comes to position with this company. So if you ever get a chance to work for them, then you can thank me later...
