Allied Residential

Allied Apartment Managers are some of the most physically lazy people i have ever been around.Constantly running maintenance staff into the ground so they do not have to leave the comfy confines of there warm offices and toasty lattes.Yet always reminding the maintenance techs how busy they are. Maintenance techs work hard all day inside and out and even post letters on doors for the managers so they do not have to get up out of their office chairs to take a walk across the property and post their own letters. 
Once home for the day, and grateful for it. The maintenance tech is soon called back to the property on the "emergency phone" for a petty request, which the manager will never put a stop to which only only enables the residents to do so..Daily abuse such as described above is why a maintenance tech position is rarely a long lasting one at Allied Residential and most property management companies,but Allied Residential  being the worst for not having the best interest of their maintenance staff in mind.

No monthly bonus (standard) ,No end of year rewards (standard)
Was told i can live on site with a 20% discount but then the manager rents the next available apartment. 30-40% rent discount used to be standard. Praises and pats on the back without as much as a 5.00 starbucks gift card....I hope the CEOs and regionals enjoy their perks and bonuses this year! HAPPY  NEW YEARS!!

Working here was overwhelming from day one, with constant pressure, no balance, and very little support from management. I was placed in an acting manager role with full responsibilities but none of the pay or access that comes with it. Training and communication were almost nonexistent, and it often felt like being set up to fail.

Upper management cared more about numbers than people. Ownership pushed for results without providing the tools or staff needed to get there. When I was transferred to another site, things only got worse with poor leadership, favoritism, and a toxic work environment where accountability didn’t seem to exist.

There were also serious concerns about inappropriate behavior in the workplace that weren’t handled properly. Seeing those issues brushed aside made me feel unsafe and deeply disappointed. No one should have to question their comfort or values just to keep a job.

This company needs real leadership, better training, and a genuine commitment to protecting and supporting its employees. I hope they take that seriously moving forward.

A significantly better employer than others in the multifamily space, and we're not just talking the national level players here - even compared to local, WA ST only groups, Allied has a clear advantage both in operational history and current staff competency, especially at the portfolio manager and corporate level. The entire company is easily accessible and collaborative. The only major knock is the 401k plan has an unusually high Asset Under Management fee (0.40%)  and charges you more for saving more (my prior employers 401k's fees were only  0.06%/year!), and the company match at 1% is far below the 6% the vast majority of other companies. Thankfully, the funds in the 401k are broadly very good. Health benefits are good value for cost, but will ultimately depend on if you love or hate Kaiser Permanente. Training is fantastic and Continuing Education is great. Very good for folks interested in 07B program or advancing in the field.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The training I've received, and the coworker friendship I've gained

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management on Site level and Corporate. After your initial pieces of training, you are on your own and expected to sink or swim.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Every man for themselves. We come together twice a year as a company to make it look like we're a family-type company, but beyond that, if your work is somehow getting done ( usually doesn't matter if right or wrong), corporate doesn't see you as more than an Ant in the colony.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stress. Corporate hires any manager they can and if that manager is barely scraping by, but has a team that makes them look good, There will be no change. I work under a manager who does not know our policies or procedures on a Site level. So every day, I pick up the slack and make them look like a fantastic manager.

Thought this could be a new and better company to work for. I was more wrong than ever! Two years behind in compliance files, training new employees that had a higher rate of pay. Had another employee back date MY signature on compliance files then sign MY initials next to it so it could be submitted fraudulently to the finance commission. Allied also allowed management to be harassed by a group of residents that had a negative and abusive pattern of behavior with past managers. Allied failed to really do anything about it and ended up not supporting me. Going above and beyond my duties went completely ignored and was never acknowledged. Massive amounts of work and pressure with no overtime allowed to get old work done that was never completed. Really bad experience. Save yourself the headache!!!

Allied Residential has been the best company I've worked for in 18 years of property management.  They are fair, realistic, supportive and have true and genuine people you could always turn to for help.  I never felt incompetent asking anyone for help.  They are always growing and there is room for advancement.  The pay, raises and other benefits were always fair.  The company offers plenty of training and tools to succeed.   

I worked for Allied Residential twice.  The second time was at a very unique property that cannot be described and through it all gave me an even better appreciation for the company and their supportive team.

Allied has zero training and does not support new hires. There is no support new managers. My portfolio manager regularly lied to our ownership group about the success (or lack there of) of our building then when owners would realize how bad it actually was, my portfolio manager would blame the team working on site. It was no wonder the building I was at had such a high turnover rate. There was no leadership from my very inexperienced portfolio manager  I was micromanaged and berated daily by him. You are expected to work overtime unpaid with your salary. I could not leave that company soon enough. Allied was the worst experience I've had in my long property management career.

So the pay period as good, the team I worked with was great but our PMs were ridiculous. The first one said some very unethical things about me being a single mom amongst other things an employer should ever say to their employee. Then the new PM had ZERO idea what the heck she was talking about. It was infuriating, especially the for the demographic of the 3 properties I managed. I had some generalized training but very little onsite training. I was dropped into a mess and had very little support. 
I will say the president of the company is a very good man. I appreciated his willingness to help me in whatever I needed. But it was too little too late.

I have worked with Allied for many years and watched them grow along the way. Allied offers on going training and if a good fit the opportunity to move up within the company. I have had my fair share of disappointments in certain areas with Allied, but what company is perfect. The facts are they never just give up on an employee, they actually look into issues and try to resolve them first. So they are not trigger happy by any means. Allied has proven themselves in this industry and continues to search for better ways to advance the company and help their empoyees. All and All you won't be disappointed.

Allied Residential is a decent company to start out with if you're just getting your foot in the door. You can learn about Property Management through the various roles and jobs.

Be prepared for unprofessional HR department that will harass you, and speak down to you with no professional courtesy, incompetent employees that will lie to residents and other employees, and Managers who suck up to bosses.

Lack of organization, chaos, policies not enforced, no clear an concise details, or training.

This company always has a shortage of staff, so be prepared to carry the load for everyone on your team, whether you're experienced or not.
