Atlantic Housing

I was a Resident Services Coordinator for only a month or two and didn't have enough time to learn the job without feeling overwhelmed and underpaid for my job expectations. The management is unsupportive and rude in the emails they send to and the way they talk about you and to your face is the worst I ever experienced. Please reconsider and find a different company that will stand behind you and help you succeed. I moved out of state and was told the apartment they had for me was ready and to start work right away.  I got to the location to only find out my paperwork was missing that I sent to them and I had to pay for my own hotel while waiting several weeks for approval. I waited and accepted the position not knowing how management would treat me and talk about me to other co workers. I decided to resign before they had a chance to tell me to leave. The worst part was being asked to stay and work two weeks after giving my notice knowing they took my job responsibilities away for miscommunication errors and mistakes. There is lack of miscommunication among all supervisors in charge of this position and no positive feedback or direction. You are on your own to figure things out while reading a manual and watching videos. I will say some videos are helpful and some had me questioning. This is a part time position 20 hours a week with 40 hours of week worth of work. I really enjoyed learning some things but the expected responsibilities were overkill. I will say if you have experience in reporting, working in excel, creating flyers, managing and creating a calendar, managing a social media page, planning events, communicating well with others, writing emails, and asking for donations and partnerships then you will do well in this position. You cannot go over 20 hours a week and must stay in the guidelines or you will receive constant negative feedback with no clear direction. Beware and know what you are getting yourself into before wasting your time or the company's time. 

Atlantic Housing is a busy place to work. The leadership has handled the remote work during the pandemic efficiently and managers regularly check in. The core values are utilized often to cultivate positive morale and everyone is encouraged to participate. One of the things I love about working here is paid volunteer time off! The human resource department will periodically offer suggestions for volunteer opportunities. The noticeable hiccups are due to the changes in a growing organization. The hardest part is when a new process has to be defined and it feels like you're trailblazing.  It's important to remember the leadership is striving to make healthy, positive changes and it takes time. There are always opportunities to grow if you need a change of scene. 

The leadership team is very new, with an average tenure of around 3.75 years.  The head of HR has no experience in human resources in property management.  The culture is forced with a weekly "fundamental" that must be discussed in meetings and "exemplified" in work.  These are basic: integrity, investing in human resources, passion for service, accountability, etc., however, the leadership team "rates" performance using these resulting in potentially low bonuses based on perception.  The leadership team does not follow its own fundamentals. Even VTO is forced and is a part of performance reviews.  Transparency is touted as a value, but upper management is not required to engage in the same.  The leadership talks the talk but fails to walk the walk creating a negative work environment.

I wont complain about having to use MY OWN VEHICLE AND GAS at work every day. Or that what tools they have are broken, or that TWO OF MY IMPACT GUNS were stolen from me my second week of work, or how upper management is corrupt. If youre not a minority, prepare to be managements scapegoat. If think cooperate will even respond to your emails, forget it. If you dont like heavy infestations of roaches and bed bugs, look elsewhere. They will swindle you out of your on call time, steal your vacation time, you can forget about pay raises, and even though they blast preaching in the office, theres not a genuine christian in the bunch, Only the desperate need to apply

You have a meeting once a month where you sit down and watch corporate people have a meeting about their values and core goals. Regular employees are not valued at all. No room for advancement. No bonuses. No raises. Only corporate and regional managers are entitled or eligible for raises even though the lower people on the totem pole helps the company company succeed. Work environment is dangerous. Funding for the property is poor. And I feel sorry for the maintenance tech because they're responsible for keeping up the grounds and doing all of the work while the lead oversees things on the property.

AH has changed significantly and the organization doesn't follow their core values. You will be offered a position or promotion without any training or support. They say that education is important but won't approve any expense to earn industry certifications. The leadership team is horrible and they are only focused on capitalizing on low income residents. They offer subpar construction with known development issues. The new construction sites have major issues that are harmful to residents and the leadership team is aware and encourages the onsite team to focus on lease up instead of holding the construction teams accountable.

The management staff was very kinda however the property it's self is terrible. Needs lots of improvements.  Very dangerous environment to work in. Was told my first day by staff and residents to watch my back. I would not suggest working there until it's cleaned up! Residents just stood right on the sidewalk and smoked weed with no fear. Dirt bikes rode through the property no fear loud music that was offensive to other races played with no fear. Bullets found all over property and the maintenance shop unorganized and dirty. Please view the property for yourself before you consider the job!.
 

They are one of the best in the industry! The genuinely care about their employees and their residents. You work long hours, but always feel appreciated. Great bonus structure and benefits. Competitive pay rate, with generous raises. Upper management is amazing and supportive. They always try to promote from within. We work in a work hard, play hard environment. AH is a smaller company, but is growing like crazy. They live and breathe their mission statement and core values. When you join the AH family, you will never want to leave.

If you are not part of the "in" crowd, do not expect any assistance, support, or training. Expect to be judged, criticized, and pushed down as much as possible. Corporate staff and regional management are absolutely despicable people with no morals. Everything they do is just for show, there is no real or genuine people or motives with this company. They encourage lying and faking paperwork to get ahead and just get the job done. Everything is about appearances only. They do not ever actually fix anything and are only out for money. They take advantage of their residents and employees.
