Community Properties of Ohio

When I first started working here my coworkers were nice and welcoming and very informative. They went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and that I had what I needed AND wanted to make me comfortable with my new job and space. Now seasoned, I feel a sense of giving back to the community working here. I enjoy working with a different resident every day getting them annually re certified for what CPO offers them year in and year out which is affordable housing so they can live everyday normal lives. I like being the face that can reinforce a request about meeting with their property manager if needed or to check the status of a maintenance request. I enjoy the open communication between me and my residence. Our property managers are very helpful to me and our residence in seeing to what our residence needs. I love that have the option to refer our residence to residential services (located behind us) for any resource needs for food to jobs leads. I am here to make a difference and I do! Upper management acknowledges the importance of us as CPO associates regularly with plenty of food, rewards and perks. It's the Holiday season right now and Upper management is definitely showing their appreciation to us from all our hard work throughout this year in bettering the experience here at CPO as residence AND employee. Giving back is what CPO is all about! Thanks for the Christmas bonus and raise... YES! What a blessing!! Especially after being here only 8 MOS!!! Awesome place to work. Looking forward to new faces to join our team!! Yes we are all A TEAM!!! I love my team!

Upper management has no idea what they are doing or how to manage. Multiple people in management should not be in those positions as they would rather be “liked” than to do their job which is Manage. New unnecessary titles = more compensation given to management in which they do less work than before, but not willing to compensate  the front line employees (property managers, admins, front desk) who are the face of the company and keep the business running. Majority of “lower totem pole” employees are overworked & under paid. You are asked to TRAIN the leadership/management team when they are above you & should actually know some of what each member/department they manage does, but they do not, hence the incompetence. Management likes to pile on more work but doesn’t compensate you for additional duties being added to your tole.  We are here to serve the residents and that is no longer the case as property managers avoid meeting with residents to help solve their issues, and when asking management to step in to have property managers actually do their job, they make excuses as well & tell the residents to come back. The units are falling apart & instead of actually FIXING the issues, maintenance bandaids the problems & in return the residents are continuously charged for maintenance coming out over & over because the issues are never fixed. This place is just a joke, if you’re actually wanting to help people with housing this is not the place.

Let's be clear. I would never rate any company a 5 because nothing is perfect. I have been employed by five companies in the last 22 years, and this organization was top-notch.

What attracted me to them was the mission-driven work. What kept me engaged there were the people doing the work; I truly loved the people I worked with. 

This organization is perfect for people who have a passion for what they do and are not just looking for a paycheck. It is for motivated people who want to do the best they can every day surrounded by others who feel the same. The management encourages people to bring solutions to the table, not just problems, and listens to people who do. One of the most impressive things to me is how someone who starts answering phones could end up in management. The only limits you will have at CPO are ones you put on yourself. 

The hardest part of the job for me was maintaing work-life balance but that was my fault, not theirs; I just got so wrapped up in the work. The most enjoyable part was serving the community and seeing the impact our work had on the quality of their lives.

CPO has management problems, They have no faith or trust in their employees, they threaten their employees with being fired with efforts of motivating them. even though they haven't trained them properly. 
this company does not value experience over friendship and have no problem exploiting that.
they ask their employees for ways to improve and for ideas to save time and money but never implement anything.
management considers experienced employees that want to make a difference "know it all's" instead of utilizing that persons knowledge to their advantage.
upper management is completely out of touch with what is going on within departments and the employees are two steps out the door and shot of being fired if they say anything..... all in all the company has good intentions but has bad management practices. they ride a thin line of bad labor practices...

CPO is a fast-paced, mission driven company. The company makes a lot of investment in staff-training and leadership development, and places a lot of emphasis on accountability. However, if you aren't ready to grow, learn, and be challenged, this may not be the place for you. If you are the kind of person who follows through when asked to do something, and brings solutions to the table, you'll love working here. 

CPO is a great place to work if you're looking to have meaning and fulfillment from the work you do. There aren't many housing companies out there that provide comprehensive and services to help their residents access opportunity and succeed. CPO's Resident Services have a great reputation with both local and national foundations.

I love the flexible work hours and the workplace culture. You have the opportunity to learn new and challenging things and to work within a diverse group of people. The workplace culture is family-like and mission driven. The most enjoyable part of this job, outside of serving the population we serve, is definitely the people. I've met some incredible people with a variety of skills and backgrounds who I now consider friends.
What makes CPO special to me is how appreciated they have made me feel. From coworkers, to managers, to leadership, I have been appreciated and complimented in many ways which has made me feel like a valued member of the CPO family.
Some days are better than others but if you're committed to the mission and committed to quality work you will do well here.

I worked  for CPO as a maintenance technician. My manager was great she was very helpful but was very stressed out. I worked along side of my manger she did great for being over worked and under paid. They do not pay what you are worth. I was on call all the time even though my manager would take some of that burden off of me when I had plans. Upper management could care a less what happens as long as they are getting what they want. The building I was at is way more work than one person can do. But the PM does help even though it’s not her job. I would not suggest anyone to work for CPO! They are ungrateful and don’t take care of the excellent employees they have.  I feel bad for my PM now. I’m sure she is back to doing everything on her own again with out any praise or gratitude.

Not paid what you deserve, management will smile in your face while lying to you when you already know the truth, some rules are not followed by management.  The CEO can never answer any questions and never steps in when there's an issue from the residence they either close their door or act like they don't hear what's going on or just stand there not saying anything. Then you have some property managers who don't want to take other property manager calls to help the resident out. There are a lot of know-it-all's and they don't listen to any ideas or suggestions,  they're quick to reject everything you come up with without giving it a thought and always give some dumb excuse on why they can't or won't.

CPO was one of the worst companies I’ve ever come across in Property Management. They talk a good game, but do not actually execute their processes well at all. Upper management starts rumors and fuels unnecessary drama. Files are disorganized and legal documents/deadline are “fudged” to stay in compliance with state regulations. And even with asking employees to lie on these documents they still can’t get their system together enough to keep the turnover down. The pay is awful and zero respect for anyone outside of the upper management. 

I work 3rd shift.  A typical day for me is monitoring the surveillance cameras.  My co-workers are amazing.  My supervisor is the best.  She's fair, she's open and she is very understanding. My job has very little if any stress.  The hardest part of my job, is keeping myself entertained, as again, I work 3rd shift.    The residence that reside in the building are very nice and helpful.  I like them all.  The residence are the best part of my job.  If they need an ear, or advice, I'm here for them!
