Coast Property Management

I had one interview; they called me back within a day or two and told me they'd like me to start as soon as possible.  I had another job (which Coast was aware of) but they were a new business whose opening was delayed, so they had no issue with me leaving with immediate notice. So I accept the job and a start date two days later. But now I'm told by HR that because I'd lost my SSC I couldn't not start until my new card arrived, even though I had already submitted for a replacement card and had the receipt to prove it.  I had to call their E-Verify service to prove to Coast HR that they were wrong about needing my official copy to start the job. (FYI I worked there for 6 months and they never asked to see my official copy once it did arrive.) So I don't even have the job yet and I'm running up against their administrative incompetence.  It was only the tip of the iceberg.

Fast forward two weeks to the day after my hiring and the position they were so gung ho about getting me into as soon as possible was being eliminated.  They said they had a data entry project I could work on, but it wasn't quite ready to go yet, so they sent me home until it could get started.  Fast forward another two weeks and I'm still sitting at home. It was only after I sent a sternly worded email about how ridiculous I thought this all was did they call me in for whatever busywork nonsense they could conjure up.  Then came the actual project.

The person in charge was cold and rude and the material to work on came in very sporadically, so there was a lot of leaving early and not getting paid.  And that was before they brought in a temp to work on it as well, who somehow warranted a full desktop workstation while I'm toiling away on some tiny laptop. The project ran out, and they brought me back in with the crew I had originally hired on to work with.  For some reason, there was a new person in the office doing the job I was originally hired to do, but I got relegated to yet another busywork nonsense project.  That lasted about another two weeks before they let me go again, but with nothing else promised on the horizon. So about 3 months after I left a job I had, I'm out of the job I left it for.

I spent the next month completely unemployed looking for other options.  Then I get a call from the guy who originally hired me; someone on his team was leaving and he wanted me to take over their role, again as soon as possible. So the day after tomorrow and I'm back at Coast, and back in yet another role that was not what I was originally hired for (although once again, there was a different person doing it).  In this job I had four different direct bosses with entirely different expectations from me. I had no real training; I was always insecure about what I was expected to know or even to be doing. In the very little interaction I had with my bosses, it was a lot of being asked questions I didn't know the answer to.

I finally found another job and got away from that farce of a company.  To be fair, the people were almost all perfectly nice and I've definitely worked in more hostile, more unpleasant environments, but I still cannot fully wrap my mind around all the turns my journey there took, and how I kept seeing other people in the job I was hired to do while I got jerked around.

Working for Coast Property Management has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I am genuinely impressed with the company's commitment to its employees' growth and success.

One of the standout qualities of Coast is their substantial investment in their team members. They actively encourage and support employees in pursuing further education and career development. Notably, Coast often covers the cost of relevant courses and is flexible in accommodating schedules during training. This commitment to continuous learning sets Coast apart and empowers employees to expand their knowledge and skillsets.

Coast's approach to employee management is refreshingly respectful and empowering. There's no micromanaging here; instead, they trust their employees to take their roles seriously and use their expertise to implement positive changes. It's an environment that treats you like an adult, fostering a sense of responsibility and accountability. If you're dedicated and committed to your role, you'll find success at Coast.

What's particularly admirable about Coast is their recognition and appreciation of hard work. They actively promote and reward high-performing employees, offering pay raises as a testament to their dedication and contributions. This acknowledgement of effort creates a motivating and fulfilling work environment.

Working at Coast Property Management has been an exceptional experience. It's a workplace that encourages personal and professional growth, values your input and expertise, and recognizes and rewards hard work. If you're looking for a company that supports your career journey and treats you with respect and trust, Coast is undoubtedly the place for you!

A typical day at work with Coast Property Management involved navigating a challenging environment where issues were often neglected and responsibilities were frequently ignored. Through this experience, I learned a great deal about the impact of poor management and the importance of integrity and responsibility in property management.

Management was a major concern. My direct manager, in particular, was a significant source of stress due to her loud and disruptive behavior, which made the work environment difficult to handle. The overall management structure seemed to lack cohesion and support, contributing to a dysfunctional workplace culture.

The hardest part of the job was dealing with the lack of accountability and responsiveness from both the company and management. This made addressing resident concerns and resolving issues particularly frustrating.

On the other hand, the most enjoyable part of the job was helping residents when possible. Despite the challenges, providing assistance and support to residents was fulfilling and offered a positive aspect to an otherwise challenging work experience.

Given the overall environment, I would not recommend working for Coast Property Management if you value integrity and a supportive workplace culture.

I have been a Facility Manager for Coast Property Management for over 11 years now. Coast has grown a lot in that time, and I have always felt that although there have been a few growing pains along the way (as there are in any company), the upper management at Coast have some of the best intentions I have ever seen anywhere. The thing that sets Coast apart is the over-reaching company goal to simply do better and be better. It's implicit in their company values that they expect a willingness from every one of their employees to be their best, from leasing agents, all the way up to the CEO, and their encouragement to always do my best has, in fact, made me a better person. Are they perfect? No - nothing and nobody in this world is perfect. But that doesn't keep those at Coast from making the attempt. Coast regularly asks employees, clients and tenants for feedback on how they can improve, and from what I've seen, suggestions are actually heard, studied, and when appropriate or possible, accommodated. In my time with Coast they have offered me just the right mix of freedom, stability, support, loyalty, variety, encouragement, resources and responsibility. Bottom line, working for Coast is what you make of it. If you are willing to come to work and do your best each day, you will be supported, recognized and rewarded in a way that is truly unique in this day and age.

When I worked for Coast I was constantly told “we care about our employees!” Which was so far from the truth it’s comical. They refuse to provide proper communication or guidance to staff- they constantly find loopholes to push you or residents through to save money and tell you that you aren’t a team player if you don’t do far beyond your pay grade for nothing but a thumbs up- often you don’t get that either .

When you have any kind of problem and ask for guidance from management you get gaslit or told that that’s the way it is. Nothing is ever done. Had a manager never on time for work and it was reported numerous times- nothing was done about it no disciplinary action was ever taken. 

I had another staff member calling residents inappropriate names as well as myself and never got a write up or anything and these things were said to the manager and to the regional.

You are constantly putting out fires just for others to pop up. Unless management/ ownership groups reevaluate and question why people keep quitting this company will never get better. They 99% about the money and 1% about their employees. 

I promise you can find somewhere better that won’t make you go home and cry because you are treated so badly.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company was great. However a good manger can take a a bad employee and actively coaches and hands on trains them and guides them to be a good employee, but when you reverse the rolls and have a bad manager that literally gives not guidance or training just bitter attitude and it’s aimed at a good hardworking employee, the negative impact breaks the work ethic and spirit of that employee. No shame on them as we are humans but there is always two sides to every story. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being new to tax credit and not having support and the proper tools for success, and feeling that your failing your tenants and company. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Again this is a good company but they’re not all in the same place. They’re all over the state., the main way of “working” together is on a screen and not face to face. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of paperwork and emails and back and forth between the current tenants and the prospects.

I’ve been with Coast Property Management for almost 2 years now and I still have mixed feelings about them. As a whole, this company is good. Corporate staff is easy to get a hold of, questions are answered in a timely manner and they try to make an effort to get to know you but at the same time, I’m dispensable. Now if you want to ask me about my direct regional manager, that’s a completely different story. She’s not responsive and If she does answer my phone calls or emails, it’s always a bunch of excuses as to why she never got around to me. I don’t need hand holding but I do need answers when it comes to bills being paid, contracts being signed or helping me deal with resident issues that I’m having a hard time taking care of on my own. But I do get support from my coworkers if I need it. Pay is not good compared to the market, constantly get told I’ll be getting a raise but hasn’t happened yet. They do have good healthcare benefits but it’s super expensive, almost $700 a month for my spouse and I. 

I worked in a corporate role out of Everett, WA. The company has potential, but the overall experience was frustrating.

There is a lack of structure and consistency across departments, which leads to confusion, duplicated work, and constant changes in direction. Expectations are high, but support, training, and clear processes are lacking. It often feels reactive instead of proactive.

Communication is a major challenge. Information is not always shared effectively, and teams are frequently left trying to piece things together. This creates unnecessary stress and inefficiency.

Workload is heavy, and priorities shift often without clear guidance. This makes it difficult to stay organized or feel successful in the role.

There are some good people on the team, but the environment makes it hard to thrive long-term.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Core values are taken very seriously. The executive team is open, honest to change and positive structure in the work place.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing specific to the company. Overall daily issues within Property Management.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is valued and respectful. Always a coworker to lean on for support and direction. The culture is strong yet ever changing.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every day is different. Normally I'm guiding my team and assisting my clients and supporting the executive department.

If you have ever worked in the apartment industry, then you know how a typical day goes, it is as most jobs, come in, meet your deadlines, meet and chat with guests and residents. The difference Coast offers is that they live by their mission statement, Do the right thing- Others centered- Get it done. from the CEO to the on-site staff, we all try to work by our mission statement. What does that mean for you? It means that your boss and co-workers are there for you as much as you are for them. That is a big deal and not seen in many other companies. I am going on my 11th year working for Coast and I have no plans to leave.
