EAH HOUSING

What is the best part of working at the company?
Honestly there's no bad part about the company itself, but only withing the company. They do take care of their employees with benefits like vision, having your own primary care doctors, they can provide you with housing, retirement plans, and they also pay employees for cumulative hours for sick pay, personal hours, vacation hours holidays off and paid, paid uniforms included are companies bucket hats, rain gear, boots and jumpsuit.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They are really super strict like they can be friendly if your regional manager likes you or if your able to get along with them. Not to mention all the extra work that they put you through and I'm literally not even exaggerating about that. A real big down side about this company is when it comes to its tenants since it's fair housing that equal living can just be taken advantage of by some of the tenants who receive some type of government funding for housing like sec. 8, majority of the time those few bad apples does tend to spoil a whole bunch more and if your not careful yourself you might get caught in the middle of it too. So heads up your also going to be dealing with people that are Labeled and considered 51-50 and if you don't know what that is well good luck to you and get ready to see things you might not be ready for and have never even seen before.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Every location has their own vibe to them so it's depending on where you are located at, but its always great and very friendly in the beginning and as you get more time working there it starts to become hostile, drama, rumors, people start not liking the way you work because you didn't do them a favor that they asked you for. They start gossiping with other team members and put your own coworkers against eachother even against you. So just be ready when things hits the fan.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Super busy, backed up drains, water leaks, unit turns, company meetings, work orders to open and or close,etc.etc.

EAH is great when it comes to compensation, possibly one of the top paying affordable housing management companies. Although, this does depend on the property budget. But thus far, pay is great. Other than that it was a challenge, I have a list. Your experience might be differ from mine. But I am a well known hard working individual in this property management industry. I learn that the disorganization of this company will make it impossible to succeed if you are new. The only thing i can think of that made it smoother on-boarding for me was the support system given through the property neighbors. My work colleagues made it a bit easier to withstand the toxicity of the work culture in this company. Training is none existent depending on who your property manager is. You will be trained from one person but then be informed by your direct supervisor that the completion of the task is incorrect which made the whole training process extremely exhausting on top of the managing the daily operations of the property and staff on-site. One thing i may say is that, once you get the grip of things it may be easier to go with the flow, however, with my experience this company over works there employees to the max, no other company requires managers to do as much as this company makes you do. FYI some property supervisors (regional managers) will forward there work to you be careful with that if you don't want to carry that heavy load. Such as the financial statements and reports to investor/owners. 

These two property are bad plus bad nieghbor hood they both have a lot homeless and druggies around and is starting to fall apart, managers lack of communication and support. They won’t let the maintenance supervisor oversee nor help the properties which I have no Idea. Those two properties are very unorganized, Managers expect one person to do it all and they have no support system in the Central Valley. I had to quit because my stress level was getting way too high for me to control. I asked for help about 7 months ago and still didn’t receive, these managers don’t value their employees work ethics, they’re sketchy and shady I have been discriminated through my past work, now this company does it too. Talk about how much life of a minorty changed? I’m also the only Asian guy there. They will bother you on your lunches and days off. You also would be using your vehicle daily, they will use and abuse your vehicle especially if you have a truck! I hope this comment helps out other people before applying.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part they make all the little things such a pain in the arss. The other thing is they're cheep they dont pay enough, the cost of living gone up 15% and they give you a3% raise or none at all. They like to waist money bringing in temps instead of hiring someone for a position or take the time to look for a suitable candidate cuz they don't offer enough money for the position. They overwork you and over fill your schedule expect everything to get done not even enough time to do it anything. Ready for your vacation pay

There's a crisis in the high cost of housing in many parts of our country, and EAH has been leading the fight to provide quality affordable housing for 50 years. The company develops, builds, and successfully manages several affordable housing communities in CA & HI. This is a major PRO, because in my opinion, being apart of a nonprofit like this that has such history, and future expansion, provides piece of mind that you're apart of the good fight. Your work at this company has value. You won't get that from many other companies.

Also, professional development is the standard at EAH. This company recognizes competence at the workplace, so when you get your foot in the door and show an ability to perform well & apply critical thinking skills, you will be recognized and rewarded. EAH offers great medical, dental, vision, life insurance benefits and will even match dollar for dollar contributions to your retirement plan up to 4%.

Truly a great place to apply your skills!

This company presents itself to be a fun loving environment, but are literally the opposite. I worked for them three years and immediately could see there was favoritism in the workplace. It was also obvious that although this is a housing company who claims to care about all of its residents and staff, at the end of the day MONEY was the primary focus. Your talking about a place where people smile in your face then talk behind your back. A place where staff, including management who was usually the ring leader will bad mouth residents but act like they care. If it wasn't for my love for the resident's, I would've found somewhere else to work. Finally, a couple of major factors that stands out within this company is discrimination whether is be for age, gender, or religion and your chances of advancing are definitely contingent upon who you know not what you know.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Poor working conditions, terrible leadership. If I could rate lower then 1 star l would. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor working conditions, terrible leadership/management, being micromanaged on every level, even though you have over 30 years of experience in the job you were hired to do. The list goes on and on.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Absolutely atrocious. On a scale of 1-10 it's a minus 100 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Being given a verbal list of duties and the order to do them in. I write it all down, double check to make sure that it's what they want in the order they want it done, proceed to do all of the items on the list in order. To be told I didn't do it right or in the right order. And that was EVERYDAY.

A lot is expected of resident managers and because it is considered affordable housing the amount of paperwork needed for each file on an annual and often semi-annual basis is gratuitous and could be considered bureaucratic. This is especially difficult if the manager is the sole employee in the office.  The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to house families that are truly low income and have almost given up hope of having an affordable home with a manager who cares.

This company was great when I started, but after a new upper Real Estate Management team took over it all changed. The mission changed, they grew way too fast in a job market that cannot sustain the growth. They have too many people to answer to on the property manager level, causing utter confusion, delays in responses to major problems, leaving the PM dangling and most managers have not been properly trained to their particular properties. 
Impossible deadlines and no regard for the PM schedule or time. Mandatory team meetings that were a complete waste of our time. 
Truly terrible management.
