Accolade Property Management

When I started I was told that I would be running a maintenance crew. My first week the manager and a maintenance tech. where both out on workers comp. No one who was there had a clue as about anything. All temps.  Had no vendor list or accurate availability sheet and the temps who were working there stole all the tools and quit on my arrival. The property had spray paint on half the buildings. I ended up moving g on property. The 2nd day I was assaulted by a resident with mace and had chemical burns to the eye. I was told that they would give her a notice to vacate. She still lives there to this day. The company didn't seem to care. The drugs and vandalism was unreal here. My car had the radio and battery stolen buy a resident in 15207 and the police or accolade Didn't care or want to help. I was gas lighted by not just management but also threatened and intimidated by residents. The company decide that being short staffed. running all work orders and emergency calls doing inhouse paints,cleans,make readies,Picking up grounds,maintaining pools,irrigation repairs and outside light repairs and even more wasn't enough. They now wanted full property inspections of all buildings, roofs,bushes, foundation issues, gates,railings,garage issues and much more. Video inspected weekly and repaired. On top of a all that I already had to do. This company is unreasonable and unrealistic. Uncaring,inhumane and unethical for the over work and unsafe work conditions.

There was lack of support from corporate. They never had any type of events or employee appreciation. Staffing was horrible there was always a rotation of office staff, maintenance did not complete work orders on time. There is no growth offered within the company they promote from outside the company versus someone who has actually been working with the company.  Anytime i would try to use my vacation time, i would never get a approval from corp after asking for more than two weeks in advance. Commission is pretty low. When corp would have some type of leasing competition going on they would never give a reward for the competition. There was just a very high lack of energy and support from the company. The president is pretty rude as well. The only party we ever had that would even boost team moral was the Christmas party. They should really work on appreciating their employees more. The job is not challenging at all but if you are looking for a employer to grow with I don't suggest Accolade. If you are looking for experience just to get into the field this would not be a bad choice.

Upper management doesn’t have any idea what they’re doing, nepotism at its finest and they don’t care about their employees and it shows throughout their properties and how they are run. Their properties are struggling because of the high turnover of employees because management doesn’t treat their employees with respect nor acknowledge the hard work they are doing. You can buy properties but if you can manage them well then they will under perform. Accolade management is living in the past they want their employees to do miracle work but don’t want to implement new ideas or adapt to current times. I don’t recommend any one to consider living on any of their properties or work for them, don’t waste your talent or time.

The company does not offer benefits or vacation hours if you are part-time worker. But if you need a few days off as LONG AS YOU TELL THEM A WEEK OR TWO AHEAD OF TIME they are extremely chill about it and work it out with you to either make up hours or work extra so you arent short on your paycheck. 
You do get a percentage off your rent if you work there and decide to live there but it is inconsistent , for example my discount was not the same as the person before me and isnt the same as the person who replaced me.  Also coworkers told me when this company took over they promised them commission on leases and still hasnt happened after SIX YEARS.

The company really cares about its employees. Affordable benefits, birthdays off, great work- life balance. They get down to business and expect their employees to do the job they were hired for. As hard as they work, they play hard too! The Christmas party is always a blast, TAA for managers,Maintenance, and upper management is too! They celebrate maintenance once summer is over with a suite the rangers games. A lot of these reviews are from disgruntled Employees, but after a total of almost 10Years at this company, that’s never been my experience. My experience has always been positive. 

I’m grateful for the experience I gained during my time with the company. However, despite working hard and going above expectations, I often felt unappreciated. Management communication could feel dismissive, will gaslight you when things happen that are out of your control and concerns were not always handled constructively. I also observed dedicated employees being undervalued. Overall, while it was a learning opportunity, the work environment may feel outdated, with heavy workloads and limited recognition.

Where to start?  Upper management seems friendly enough, at least to you face, but they constantly make fun of and trash talk their employees. There is very little regard for life work balance (although they protest differently).

The accounting staff thinks they know everything and own the company.  Especially the AP clerks whom are completely clueless and unprofessional.

This place will leave you doubting your sanity. 

Working for this company has a lot of perks, a smaller company where you are a person to them, not just a number.  If you work hard you will be promoted and appreciated, which unfortunately cannot be said for many companies in today’s job market.  The property had its challenges, but upper management understood and was not blaming you for it.  They all work closely together and many employees have been with this company for many years.  I only left due to a relocation, or I would have stayed forever. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay was fair.   

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No training, properties that are not maintained properly and no room for growth.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They work very hard to create team bonding experiences.   There are many long term employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long.  Come in early and stay late.   The problem ls just that with this company.   Hard work is not recognized for what it is.

There is no training provided. You are expected to know how things are supposed to go and just thrown onto the property. The owner has a bit of a condescending tone when speaking with people.
Compensation is low even for those with experience as well as commissions are low. Bonuses are offered with many stipulations and regulations to receive them.
Benefits are subpar compared to other companies.
