Avanath-Capital,-LLC

I started my journey with Avanath in October of 2019 and to say my time with the company has been “interesting” would be an understatement. In the wake of the difficulties of this past year and a half our team here at Acclaim at South Congress in Austin Texas, like many others, has had a great deal to overcome. These challenges have only strengthened our ability to communicate and coordinate as a team.

Our response to the unprecedented weather during the winter storm inspired me. Many of us had spent full days outside in 8-degree weather patrolling the property to shut off water to units whose water heaters spewed forth fountains of steamy liquid that would cascade like waterfalls into the snow. Patios covered in in ice, plants that were green and vibrant days prior coated in centimeter thick ice like ornaments made of glass were the backdrop of our many late nights and early mornings. Despite the difficulties, I am proud to say we were able to be there for those in need. Coordinating with the city we were able to acquire 400 MRE survival rations and nearly 1000 cases of fresh bottled drinking water for our residents.

In the aftermath that followed over half of our units were affected by water damage. Our Regional and our Community Managers coordinated teams of contractors while Maintenance staff worked long hours to ensure our residents welfare. In the end our team was able to come together to restore the units with as little inconvenience to our residents as possible. It was incredibly challenging but rewarding to see everyone come together in the face of such adversity.

These past few years have been a one wild ride and I can honestly say that it has been anything but “conventional”. These trials allowed me to grow as both a person and a leader and I am honored to work with such an amazing team and fantastic company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The philosophy of the company is almost there regarding employee relations. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Corporate staff is chaotic, no ownership/accountability with leadership. Nonstop Teams meetings, often overlapping each other as every department wants your time. This makes it very difficult to organize your day and prioritize your responsibilities. No priority to keep properties properly staffed, vacant positions go unfilled for months.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is chaotic. No standardization in job roles. Property staff can be fun to work with but corporate is a nightmare and completely put of touch. It's obvious senior leadership is self serving and not interested in the experience of the employees or tenants.
Culture is very "en vogue" and celebrate all things different. Unfortunately this means they hire and promote certain types of people not necessarily based on qualifications.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Disjointed. Try to make a schedule for yourself and organize your day, but all that goes out the window as a result of various departments needing what they need. Leaves minimal time to do the requirements of the job. Days can easily require 2+hours of work past an 8 hour day, as a result.

Over 20 years in property management and this is the absolute worst company I have ever worked for.  Following the chain of command when you have issues with your direct supervisor mean absolutely nothing.  They  promote the people they like for poor behavior and extremely poor people skills.  Training is a ZERO. If you are not a minority you may as well forget it.  It is all about who you know at this company.  No responses to email, phone calls, teams call etc. When upper management needs something then you miraculously get contact.  Take it from somebody who has many years of experience, this is not a good place to work at all.  They are title people.  They don't care about their staff unless you are buddies with them and speak their language.  You can continuously ask for help but you won't get it.  They want you to fail if you don't fit their type.  They want you to quit so they don't have to fire you.  Head of HR, started out as a very nice, caring, compassionate person.  That was all a front.  HR should contact you by phone not be tracked down for weeks on end only to receive an email.  RUN, you do not want to work here.  

This company should really stick to investing only and stay out of property management. If "leadership" invested in more training and not sitting on their pedestal, communicate and set basic rules and process that are cut and clear across the board and not varying by which person/department you speak with, that would be a start in fixing the company's overall issues. People don't leave bad companies, they leave bad leadership. You can't keep CM's at one property for more than 6 months and the ENTIRE BAY AREA TEAM quit. From RM on down to 3 CM's. It's not a coincidence. But I'm sure you'll continue to not look into the problem but instead blame past employees and teams. 

I have been with this amazing company for almost 2 years and had the opportunity to advance 2 times! Of course you may have hard work and of course you may have some long hours, but haven't you heard nothing in life worth having come easy? From my initial interview, I knew this was the company for me. This team/family show their support not only in the workplace, but also in your personal life. We have monthly trainings and even some emails of encouragement when they're needed the most. I haven't had the chance to meet everyone, but I'm sure they're just as amazing as the ones I've met!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company as a whole has an awesome blueprint for the affordable housing market 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The pay could be better for the work that is required 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The diversity is great, however I feel that some individuals I've encountered don't have the A+ spirit that the company strives for

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nothing is ever the same, lots of files to get to compliance for recertification, it's pretty easy if the residents are available to obtain the documents needed and to sign what's needed as well

Majority of management is related or they hire their children as interns. You have no help from hire management or your supervisors, it’s really a sink or swim environment. The gossip amongst your colleagues can become draining. Certain co-workers hang in little cliques and that’s usually who gets the promotions. Anytime you want to request a day off it’s a questionable to hr. Also they don’t give enough PTO or Sick time, Pretty much you’ll be working forever just to get a day off for mental clarity. Run….Run very far and when you run don’t look back just go to another company 

Avanath made me feel part of their team during their interview process.  My onboard experience was amazing!  I could not ask for anything more! I am so thankful and grateful with the staff! The moment I stepped into Menlo Manor I could feel the warm welcome. I was greeted with a smile! Avanath encourages their employees to voice ideas and be open to them. This demonstrates to me that the company values our opinions and we matter to them.  If you want to work for a company with a happy and positive work environment!  I would recommend Avanath!

This company doesn't recognize great employees if they were slapped in the face and I witnessed disrespectful relationship with the residence and sometimes with each other.  Not a work friendly company to work for.  WAY TO MANY LIES FLOATS AROUND.  You're frowned upon if you report and witness drug usage amongst employees.

Avanath fires those who work hard to make a difference and make the mission statement and vision of the ceo real and promotes those who are polar opposite. People get promoted on who they know and the click they are in. They promoted someone who worked for another company at the same time they worked for this one. Someone who didn’t run their own property and let residents go 6 weeks without hot water and had many resident complaints and someone who rented and profited from an employee compensated unit. That shows a lot about their integrity as a company.
