Allied Orion Group

I came from the management company that had sold the property to Orion . I was asked to stay because they saw potential in me and wanted to assist in improving that potential. I was made promises of giving me the opportunity to advance in my field however those promises are yet to be granted. I am expected to do work that I am not getting paid to do and when I inquire about why I am not getting paid for the work, they make it seem as though it is in my job description. I am being told to do work that no one else wants to do in which I am not qualified. I have asked on numerous occasions to be given the opportunity to show my worth but instead I am given excuses. Since I have been with this company, we are on our 2nd Office Manager and 3rd Lead. That should say it all. Unfortunately there is no organization and when I try to share my thoughts they don't matter until after the fact. I feel as though I am at a dead end and need to move on. There is no team work and if necessary co-workers throw each other under the bus.

Worked for this company for years. 
Mostly good. When I started it was only 11 properties. I worked form them a total of 11 years and by the time I left (my property was sold and I stayed with property) They increased the portfolio to around 150.  Just like all companies that grow, it had growing pains. Mostly forgetting a little about the little guys and getting more into the corporate hype.  We did have some amazing supervisors who I was able to learn great things from.  By the time my property was sold, most of the original people were not longer there. I don't have knowledge of the company as of today due to it has been a while since I left there however If it is the same, I would work there again and recommend someone else.  It is all in the risk of who your supervisor is rather it will be a good experience or not. The company it self always had good intentions and good benefits.

I learned that no matter what you always have to power through and smile no matter how hard the day might be. You deal with a ton of different personalities so you really have to learn how to adjust to ever ones personal preferences without breaking company policy or being too opened because some people may mistake being "opened" as something completely different. The hardest part of the job hands down is dealing with people who might have had a terrible day and they come into the office taking it out on you or your co-workes. Its nothing like being behind a counter at a grocery story and dealing with an angry customer it is on a whole new level. Sometimes you can not do anything to calm them down and you just have to sit there and let them vent because at times asking them to leave or calling a manger over is not doable at that particular moment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The leadership and training provided

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When the property goes thru a management change and you need to transfer to another one

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I enjoyed my time at AOG. The supervisors I had made me feel comfortable and were very communicative. We would have manager meetings for different holidays with the regional team which was always nice

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Onsite we will walk the property, interact with our residents, plan events, coordinate with maintenance, tour, answer emails and phones, work on applications, and more

I worked for Allied-Orion for two (2) years in Denver, CO.  This is the greatest compny I have ever worked for and have a high level of respect for the Denver, CO management team.  They are based in Houston, Texas and the people at headquarters are just as wonderful.  The company uses state of the art software and continually trains all of the employees.  The training programs in place are top notch as well as the individuals that train you. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to be part of a company as respectable as Allied-Orion Real Estate Services.

AOG has high expectations and when those are met you are still reprimanded. It is never ok to be the best, and you're told "theres always room for improvement" never mind you're doing great. It's a very disheartening place to be, and you will be treated as though you are never doing enough.  The inexperienced (Regional  Manager  is a joke very narcissistic and does not support her team while taking no Responsibility for on boarding and training her team. Very stressful environment, Team Morale is very low.  
Required to work 
under lots of stress.  While being
under minded and micromanaged. 

I would not recommend working for AOG Living. In my experience, the work environment was very toxic, with a lack of proper training and support from VP Regional leadership. When concerns were raised about management, it often resulted in disciplinary action rather than resolution. Additionally, there was a noticeable lack of accountability at the regional level. I also experienced issues with payroll deductions that were not clearly communicated. Overall, it was not a positive or supportive workplace.

The company has wonderful owners with a great vision and culture for the company. However that culture doesn't always flow through all the property supervisors in place. Within your first year you see the difference. Staff that has the abilities and deserve promotion are often overloooked through favortism. The company provides stability to keep you just where you are. Promotions are granted not not just earned. With this company you have to know how to get the information yourself.

I was told I’d have two weeks of training under my supervisor but I was left to figure out everything by myself using YouTube until there was any emergency that I couldn’t fix myself, then I was the first person everyone would make their complaints known to. Management left me out to dry on many occasions with no respect for free time because the job is 24/7 on call they make you work late randomly as they see fit. Had two weeks for an inspection and they waited till the last 3 days to tell me I had to work early, late and also come in during the weekends.
