Asset-Living

At first it seemed like a great job that you could brag bout, however the disorganization ruined everything. The very thought of driving to work began to cause crippling anxiety. PMs and RMs were not being trained, and that meant that we accountants had to train them as best we could. Resident ledgers were a mess due to this ineptitude and lots of eviction proceedings began due to misplaced checks. You could ask a PM, nicely, to complete their work (and even walk them through the steps) 10x with no result. They just didn't care. This meant that accountants all had to work overtime every day trying to clean up their messes. My favorite (joking) part was repeatedly asking them to enter their vendor invoices they received via mail/email, having to accrue the expenses when they ignored me, reminding them to please enter the invoices, then having property services get cut off due to non-payment, then having them frantically call with questions and accusations while expecting me to perform miracles in 10 minutes or less to have months worth of invoices paid and service restored (because suddenly they located the invoices and figured out how to communicate). Zero help from higher ups. Working relationships are reciprocal, and common sense is common sense. If you work here as an accountant, be prepared to work overtime daily and also work weekends. The pay is very low for the bloated workload (including PM/RM babysitting) you have to do. You get too many properties to get everything done in a timely manner, hence constant overtime. Nobody that works this hard should have to worry about paying bills. Communication from leadership is scattered and comes at you like hail since it usually involves doing something highly important at the last minute that was never mentioned before last minute. Also, God forbid you leave your desk or eat lunch, unless you want to trigger antiquated oversupervision circa 1940s. This was a trickle down effect of higher ups also being tasked with way too much and being under too much stress. My immediate coworkers were great and I'm thankful that I had the opportunity to learn more. Nothing else was positive. Asset is all about growth, nevermind poor quality or burning out your best employees. We were all replaceable. Please raise these pay rates because you can surely afford it.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I've worked at Asset Living for almost 3 years as a Community Director in the PNW.  I was recently promoted to a Business Manager of Operations role, and I am proud to have been given this amazing opportunity. 

In my time here at Asset Living, I've seen that if you are driven and hold yourself accountable, the leadership team notices. My new role allows me to be a key partner in ensuring the sites I am assigned to are efficient and compliant, but more importantly, it allows me to work behind the scenes while supporting the teams on the ground. 

We strive to build a workplace we’re proud of by staying disciplined in our business functions while never losing sight of the people who live and work at our properties."

Being promoted to the Business Manager of Operations is a testament to the growth culture here. If you are someone who loves the intersection of strategy, compliance, and real-world results, this is a place where your hard work is visible and valued!  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I would consider the most stressful part of working at Asset is balancing the unique personalities and urgent needs of different site teams at the same time. This can also build incredible professional discipline as you become the expert that upper management, owners and residents can count on. 

Rapid expansion/growth can sometimes result in shifting processes or the need to train new team members quickly. For someone who is a go-getter, the ceiling is high. You aren't stuck in a stagnant role; you are part of a moving train! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Ther are "Cultural Pillars" that Asset values the most: Grow Without limits - They prioritize internal promotions and value employees who are endlessly motivated to level up. Problem Solvers - Instead of waiting for directions, employees are encouraged to be proactive.  'Family that has your back' - Despite corporate scales, they strive for a "mountain of people wanting to help you' feel, where mentors are accessible.  From my personal experience, my co-workers (team) were/are the best part of the job!

Pros: Lots of room for growth, you can go almost anywhere in the U.S.
 coworkers were fun to work with
 lots of cool on-campus events to be apart of

Cons:
Your outlook on Asset will almost solely depend on your upper manager(s). Had a great experience with a lot of team members and some corporate members. With that said, Asset doesn’t do the best job with effectively recognizing a personnel concern until it’s too late. Had multiple managers during my tenure with them that had been brought to HR & VP’s attention and nothing was ever done. If the upper management is supportive and tolerant, you’ll have a good experience with the company. The problem is good upper management with this company is few and far between.
 
 While they are one of the largest, they are far from the best. They do a lot to cut corners and save money. They are known in the industry to be one of the cheapest companies in terms of management fees and it definitely shows in how they try to run their properties. For example, they only use petty cash for all transactions. For the properties I’ve been at that are 600+ beds, using only cash makes it look extremely difficult to run a property. 
 
 While they offer a 401K, they do not match anything, ever. PTO is also use it or lose it, if you have over 40 hours and leave or get let go, they will only pay up to 40 hours. Sick leave also isn’t distinguish, it’s all considered “PTO” so if you’re sick, you’ll have to use your PTO days.
 
 They promote within which is always a good thing but Asset promotes fast. A lot of people in the company have little experience in the position they’re in and then get promoted with out in depth knowledge about their previous positions. Have met many members with Asset that were promoted too quickly and ultimately got the blame for things down the road and later let go. Sad to see great employees be set up for failure because of poor leadership.

I had no idea about this company but due to living there and needing a job I sought employment here. Management itself alone along with the coworkers were enough reason to not be apart of the company. I was not trained, coworkers horsed around all day and got in trouble all the time for staying off task. They DO NOT train you adequately for the various of instances you’ll be thrown into as a community assistant. Management doesn’t even take actual residents seriously. One of those jobs that will guilt you into working extra hours. There is no professionalism, it was worse drama than high school. Pay just got bumped to above minimum wage along with “commission”. If you like spending your day being a aggressive pushy sales stressed out college student who enjoys a toxic work environment then by all means. You also have to take a drug test.... which is fine. However, this is the least I’ve ever been paid in my entire job experience and I have never had to take a drug test before. Not sure why that’s a requirement. Your training is reading about who everyone in the company is and practically praising them. Explaining what you would do in customer service situations RATHER THAN PREPARING YOU FOR HOW HARD THIS JOB ACTUALLY IS! These types of jobs are incredibly hard due to the amount of information you continuously have to learn. It’s not worth a cent above minimum wage. Two managers left within a week of each other. Stop preying on college students and paying them NOTHING to make your company more rich. Slimy sales job with awful management. 

In my experience, working at Asset Living was deeply disappointing due to several persistent issues that undermined both morale and productivity. The workplace often felt culturally insensitive, with little effort made to understand or appreciate the diverse backgrounds of employees. This created an environment where some team members felt overlooked or excluded rather than supported.

Training and development were also lacking. New hires were frequently expected to learn complex tasks on their own, and opportunities for growth were minimal. Instead of investing in employee success, the company tended to prioritize short-term output over long-term development.

Workload management was another major concern. Many employees, including full-time staff, were consistently overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations and chronic understaffing. This led to burnout, high turnover, and a general sense that leadership did not value employees’ time or well-being.

Contract and temporary employees seemed to receive especially poor treatment. They were often given the most challenging tasks without adequate support, and their contributions rarely felt recognized. The disparity in how they were treated compared to permanent staff was both discouraging and demoralizing.

Overall, my time at Asset Living left me feeling undervalued and unsupported, and I would not recommend it for those seeking a healthy or growth-oriented workplace.

What is the best part of working at the company?
not sure what to say what was so good to say

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
working for them was deeply disappointing. good skilled experienced employees feel overlooked or excluded from opportunities rather than supported. they'll spend more effort paying very little for not skilled workers instead of trying to pay and keep the good skilled experienced workers. don't ever expect them to listen to you if there's any issues they'll just cut ties and run from you or they'll fire or force you to quit

Training was a joke, theyll hire you or when taking over a smaller company they just expect you to know everything about there company and when you call for help from there corporate office they just talk down to you like your an idiot for not knowing who they are and how they run.  constantly expected to learn policies and procedures or new "ideas" they come up with on your own or by reading an email with not much explanation. opportunities for growth/promotion were nonexistent, theyd rather hire out instead of from within. Instead of investing in employee success, the company tended to prioritize short-term output over long-term development.

consistently overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations and understaffing. which caused major burnout, high turnover, and a general sense that leadership did not value employees’ time,health or well-being.

Asset Living is a fair and reasonable company to work for.  From my experience I've inquired numerous times about career advancement and pay increase . Management says there's no pay increase even when you step up to the extra  work responsibilities that have been added to your job detail. I was told if I didn't like their answer , that I could always go find another job. So going the extra mile isn't going  to really pay off. I have had my own construction company and have over 30 yrs experience in new construction/ remodeling from start to finish. Also have 80% of all my tools such as compound miter saw , 10in table saw , air compressor, nail guns ,drywall lift machine , finishing tools, plumbing and electrical tools. I can handle almost anything that comes in front of me at the complexes.  Then  watch them hire people with little to no experience in this field and not have any hand tools at all , and Management hire them and start them at the same hourly rate that I'm paid and been employed next month makes 1 yr and for 7 months have been the only maintenance tech that does all the after hours calls because no one else has the experience to do so.  But my checks always on time and they pay time and half for overtime.

Working at Asset Living has truly been an amazing experience. In just 10 months, I’ve been given the support, training, and encouragement needed to grow into a bigger role that has advanced my career in ways I never imagined. The leadership team makes sure you have the tools and resources to be successful, and there are endless opportunities to learn and grow if you’re motivated.

The culture here is welcoming and collaborative—people genuinely want to see you succeed. From day one, I felt supported and valued, and that hasn’t changed. Asset Living is a place where hard work and dedication are recognized and rewarded, and I’m proud to be part of a company that invests so much into its people.

If you’re looking for a company that values growth, teamwork, and success, Asset Living is absolutely the right place to be!

Horrible company to work for. They put on a good front at first, but then they start making too many demands and don't give you a direct answer when you have a question. The only answer you ever get is "submit a ticket" to some asinine "support portal" that isn't all that helpful. They won't give their employees the tools they need to do their job (but they think they're fine because they offer you "training videos" so you can train yourself instead of sending someone to come in and show people the ropes & try to establish good relationships with their properties) and they don't research for squat when it comes to acquiring new properties to ensure the needs of the employees and the residents are being met. Their regional managers blow in for about 30 seconds from states away and leave creating more work and more questions for the property. They DON'T LISTEN.  They need to realize that if they want to retain their employees, they'll listen to what those people have to say instead of constantly blowing them off, passing the buck and offering a generic and insincere "everything will be fine" pep talk. The amount of stress created by their policies and lack of both communication and leadership is BEYOND unmanageable. Do not work for these people!!! You will be sorry you wasted your time and energy if you do.

Working at Asset Living was fast-paced and required constant multitasking. A typical day included handling resident concerns, coordinating with vendors and maintenance staff, and keeping up with compliance and reporting requirements. Through this role, I gained valuable experience in affordable housing management, financial reporting, staff supervision, and LIHTC compliance. The job helped me strengthen my adaptability, time management, and leadership skills while balancing competing priorities in a demanding environment.

Management provided some resources and structure, but support and communication between corporate, regional staff, and onsite teams could be inconsistent at times. The workplace culture varied by property, with both supportive team members and others who struggled to meet expectations. The hardest part of the job was managing heavy workloads with limited staffing and budget restrictions, as well as navigating high resident expectations alongside compliance deadlines. Still, the most rewarding part was building positive relationships with residents and seeing the impact of completed projects, which made the challenges worthwhile.
