Buckingham Property Management

They are severely understaffed, no one stays, they get hired and quit shortly after because their district supervisors are also overworked and as a result the community managers suffer. They offer their managers no support or training it takes them forever to take action when you tell them about major issues, then blame you for the delay, even though according to their policies and procedures you need their approval first before you can do anything.  They completely set you up to fail.  They pay great though. And you have free rent, but can't really enjoy it because they stress you out so much. Eventually you become trapped because your housing is attached to your job. If you leave you lose your place. Your supervisor will talk a good game about how they are so helpful to their managers but they aren't. They don't care at all. The company says everyone is treated like family, yeah just that you're the red headed step child everyone hates. That's what it's like to work for them. 0 stars would not recommend it.

My typical day starts out around 7AM checking the grounds and property making sure everything is clean and in order. I am in the office by 9AM completing my morning reports, preparing my tenant rooster, maintenance work orders, setting up interviews, meeting with vendors and taking care of all paper work. I lean each day brings on a new challenge and that being prepared makes a big difference in how you handle that challenge. No two days are ever the same and things are always changing. I work alone but have email and phone conversations with co-workers when ever they need some help or if I have a applicant that may feel one of there units. I am in daily communications with my supervisor, maintenance supervisor and the head of our department through emails, phone and texting. I keep them informed as to what is going on with the property and any state or government inspections that are scheduled and when. I enjoy all the different people in my building and there cultural backgrounds and traditions. The best part of my job is the different people that I meet and are able to help find or get a place to live.

What is the best part of working at the company?
My first supervisor was amazing and I got the backup I needed.  When I left the company, they had a supervisor that was untrained in my particular program and would give orders that he expected to be followed, even though they were explicitly against program rules for the governmental program of my building.
The best part for me was leaving the company before they destroy the program of the building.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with untrained supervisors and inability to have the parts needed for my maintenance to be able to upkeep the property.  Losing vendors due to bills not being paid.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
With my last supervisor, he was overbearing and without knowledge of the program that he was supervising.
And there was a lot of harassment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work that needed to be done, but unable to get permission to do the work or call the needed vendor.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the people working in lower management were nice to meet. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You are left without any training to fend for yourself. You literally sit at your desk all day and have to ask before you can do anything. All without training. You will hear "we will get to you" alot. My supervisor told me upon hire "please call me if you need me" within 90 days it turned into "don't call me, I don't have time."

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is Hurry up and wait. You aren't even allowed to have personal items on your desk, like a family photo. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive to work, check emails and clean the community restroom. Yes, you are required to clean the office and the restroom used by tenants, social workers and even delivery people. The maintenance techs don't do that, the manager does.

At first i thought this is great i can work independently. The company got turned into something i never fathomed. The amount of nepotism in this company is insane. The supervisors have no real education on anything. They run around like tyrants and they do things and see if you will accept. They bank on people and tenants not knowing their rights. Nearly every employee is miserable and it’s because they’re employment is attached to their housing so they can’t leave immediately. You cannot trust anyone at corporate. There is zero professionalism. Micro management and they will blame the manager for nearly everything including the maintenances mistakes. There is no Accountability for anyone. They will write you up for clocking out for lunch minutes late. Run don’t walk away from this establishment. They do not care about their employees whatsoever!!!! 

I interviewed, got the job. My first day was horrible. New Hire Orientation was listening to HR read the employee handbook for hours. As a Community Manager you MUST have every document approved by your boss before you can even post a notice to your resident. This means 3-day notices, balance due letter all have to be sent to your boss for approval FIRST before you can actually post them. This company doesn't allow you to text co-workers, use your cell phone at all. No items allowed on your desk-like a stapler, pen holder, no pictures, professional paintings allowed on your office walls. RUN!! You will be sorry you worked for this company. They get sued and loose often because of their conduct. Please listen to me. Nobody warned me and I had to learn the hard way.

At first this job seemed fine, 
but after months of not being trained for the job and than being blamed by upper management for not having things done, not so great. 
No training at all. 
community mangers have to take the fall for upper management always. Nothing is priority until last min. 
Upper management will throw you under the bus within seconds. 
Maintenance techs are overworked with no help, it takes weeks to get anything approved from upper management. 
You basically get stuck to this job because your house is tied to it. 
Property management isn't for everyone but this company is for NO ONE! 
Do not work here....
