Campus Apartments

Do not waste your most important commodity here: YOUR TIME. The corporate teams in Philly are bullies and have the rich get richer mentality. No growth for the property teams. You are promoted based on how well you are liked by senior leadership not your work or integrity. The corporate teams are constantly getting promoted while the property teams does the hardlifting. There are so many married, related, family that are constantly hired or in leadership here. No ROOM FOR GROWTH. They tell you there is, absolute lie. The best part is the team environment you are able to build outside of corporate at the property level The operations, HR, and Asset Management team have a BULLY mentality. I truly feel after working with this team I need counseling. They are very REACTIVE! Do not STOP here. CEO: Your corporate team at Campus Apartments are not setting good examples of leadership. Be more responsive. Work on your company culture to be more inclusive of property teams. 

Campus Apartments is essentially a good company however does not provide its employees with necessary training to be successful. They are trying to strive to be a good Student Housing company but they do not consider their people to be a strength. If they would invest in a standardized model for how all their properties should operate a lot of headaches would be saved. 

As far as management, there is no true leadership. Their Property Managers are supposed to be their leaders but they do not provide adequate mentorship for individuals that are new to the company. The Regional Managers expect their staff to simply just know how to do things without taking the necessary time to train and develop the Property Managers. 

They do pay well and offer great benefits that the company actually pays for.

I enjoyed working with my group and learned during my time there but I wish the management  was more available when help was needed. Out of the month i was employed there I only had 2-3 full days of 1 on 1 training and they expected me to learn everything on my own. They have online training that they require but when your days are busy with answering phone calls, helping residents and other tasks that have you running around the building it is challenging to complete the training.  I wish there was more transparency when it comes to talking about how the employee can improve more so than just firing you. I truly feel like i was set up to fail in my role. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pros outweigh the cons. You’ll learn a lot in a short period of time if you stay focused

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The job itself isn’t stressful. I would have to say that people are the most stressful part of the equation. That’s any job if we’re going to be honest

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was a bit stressful for me. I was relatively new to the industry. I had not yet learned how to navigate the pitfalls of day to day human interaction in a professional setting

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was relatively simple. I never had a bad day, or anything close to one

Worked here for a while and it was alright as long as you did your job and didn't upset a resident or certain office staff. There was a lot of nepatizum which really led to a toxic with environment.  The pay was terrible especially for having to deal with a supervisor who threw a fit like a child about anything . Staff can be immature at times given that some are students and still learning the real world and the rest are part sitter. If you questioned the supervisor then he'd tell you to just quit if you didn't like it. Then he'd go complain to the manager and whoever else would listen to make you look like your the problem. I wouldn't go back unless they got rid of the maintenance supervisor, office manager and upped the pay. 

Working all the shift with customers. Tours, phone calls, and walk-ins were most of the daily activities. We would canvas the residents about upcoming events, and be present at multiple events to advertise the property. Maintenance requests and rent issues would also be a large portion of the day. Selling the apartments was number one but we would sell via email, phone, and face to face. The maintenance crew are the best group of people I could have asked for. They not only are friendly but they go above and beyond for the residents. I loved meeting new people everyday and being challenged with new obstacles everyday as well.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working for campus apartments were the benefits and pto

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being on call and not being able to plan ahead 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
As long as the CFO or CEO aren't on property things we're great they were rather demanding without knowing what the overall job took

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day wasn't bad as long as there wasn't ridiculous maintenance requests that could be fulfilled adequately

Was there for 3 1/2 years. Got let go due to "proformance issues" after doing my job and training a new employee. Feels like you never can get ahead due to the never-ending add-ons, and staffing was a issue as well. They also dont follow through with promises made. Got told new tools for the property were being purchased and as of 3 years later still hadn't received them. So if you like to work hard and get told it's still not good enough this is the company for you!

Worked for a little under a year and about 2 out of the 12ish people I knew worked there hated it and I began to know why. Leadership is lacking and new ideas that could benefit you and your co workers are shot down immediately if they bend corporate rules even slightly regardless of your situation at the property. I did have a good supervisor for a decent amount of time that taught me a lot but that’s the only positive I can pull from this experience. 

The lack of customer service trickles down from the top levels of executives. The overal mission statement is never clearly defined, therefore leading to no mission at all.
The company as it is currently is on a path to destruction with no clear goals and a complete lack of appreciation for top performing lower levels of management.
Not only would I not go back to work for this company but I would recommend a new prospect to do the same. Look for a company with some foresight and determination.
