Altus Group

I have been with Altus for a few years now. I started on an entry level administrative position. My responsibilities were very clear, and I was provided the environment to succeed. I have learned with Altus, if you are interested in growth - they will provide the opportunity for you. In the last few years, I have been promoted 2 times and am now in a more analytical role. It was suggested for me to take continue education courses, to further my career and opportunities. Altus covered the travel and course expense on my behalf. They helped provide the necessary tools for me to reach the opportunities I was interested in. Additionally, when COVID-19 impacted the work force, they provided compensation to have a home office set up for me. We had weekly team calls to keep everyone connected and we met up in person, once it was deemed safe. Since COVID-19 , my office has continued a hybrid format. This allows me to have an almost perfect work life balance. I'm eating better, because I have time at home to cook. I am less stressed because I'm not commuting over an hour a day, every day, to get into the office. We have weekly paid lunches every Friday for the whole team to come and connect. Management is incredible. A true open-door policy. I have always felt supported and encouraged. The hardest part of my job is the stress. I work in a field where we are very busy 6 months out of the year and moderately busy the other 6 months. While no job is stress free, the environment to communicate my stress and struggles is incredibly supportive. We work as a team to overcome individual and team stressors. A typical day is the usual 8-hour workday, but I do have some flexibility in setting my working hours. I communicate with the manager and the rest of the team. The unlimited PTO offers me the ability to take off when I need to without having to worrying, I don't have any PTO left or have to use sick leave. These benefits allow me to be rested, calm, and mentally well so I can perform my job at a higher capacity. 

Altus is a fantastic company to work for! I’ve been here just over a year (full time, remote consulting position) and have thoroughly enjoyed the people, culture, challenges and career growth opportunities. Management cares, colleagues support each another, team collaboration is high, and our clients are the absolute best partners.  The hardest part of the job is juggling meetings and clients with diverse needs (which means shifting gears fast) but the learning opportunities and depth of exposure this provides is also what I love. Come work for us- I promise you’ll love it!  

You learn a lot about Real Estate valuation and property tax appeals. In the Property Tax unit, you will learn about property taxes in every state in the United States. You will be trained on the 3 approaches to valuing real estate, which include the cost, sale, and income approach. You will learn how to enhance your presentation skills by presenting to various jurisdictions as well as clients. The culture is like working with one big family; everyone is fun, inviting, and inclusive. The best part of the job is the clients and the people, you truly develop close relationships. The hardest part of the job is how busy it can get sometimes but everyone offers a helping hand if it gets to be too much. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
My experience working with Altus was stressful. You are micro-managed and not paid enough for the work they are expecting from you. Also over worked

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management. Over worked not enough pay.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very messy and unprofessional. There is no confidentiality. What is discussed with management is known by peers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
They approve overtime and then lie about it. Example, after overtime is approved and worked they adjust your time card by removing the overtime and saying it was not approved.

It’s all about titles in this place.
Analyst, senior analyst, consultant, senior consultant, associate, associate director, director, senior director, Vice President, president.
This is supposed to give you the sense of entitlement and purpose moving up in the ladder But instead it makes a strange micromanagement culture with your work being checked by 6 different people with different opinions and styles of work which decreases productivity and enhances confusion.
Also people above you doing anything to blame your work as an excuse for there mishaps so they can continue moving up the endless ladder.

This is the first company I've worked for that made regret being good at what I do. Management has no idea how to use basic technology, and if you do, they'll throw all of it at you.

What's worse is that since they don't know anything about tech, they just assume it's easy and give you things last minute like no one should need any time to complete anything. This extremely prevalent with the ones who never plan ahead and just dump tasks on people without thinking.

Throughout the day I completed a lot of administrative work, answering call and follow some documents.

I learned that you cannot work with the management that they have favoritism.

Management: I use to love to work with this company until they a hire this person and everything goes insane.

The hardest part of the job: The job itself is fine but dealing with a lot of pressure and demands are too much.

The most enjoyable part of the job: When I received an appreciation from the consultant that I work with.

What attracted me to Altus is the trust in the employees to work autonomously. Not many companies would give you the space to allow you to do your work without micro-managing. Another appealing and positive aspect is the growth opportunity. You are encouraged to develop professionally with the company even if it means moving to a different department or taking a completely different path. Altus is also a generous company that offers a range of benefits and in-office perks.

Altus group is a great place to work for me so far. I am a part of the advisory team and enjoy the push for continued education in appraisal and structured planning. The most challenging part would be meeting deadlines since work is subjectively allocated and yield many late nights at the office. The most enjoyable part would  be the employee appreciation received through programs like Summer Hours. On top of everything, my co workers and team are friendly and always willing to help.

A typical work day is extremely busy, with processing tax data and staying a great deal ahead of appeal deadlines. It is team oriented. Unfortunately, the new PT manager can be a little difficult to work with since he has never had any management training, or staff. However, all other employees are great to work with, and it us usually  a fun and nice atmosphere.
