East Lake Management

On a typical day at work, during the early hours you will find me speaking to the residents finding out proactively what their priorities are for the week, meeting with management for a half hour to communicate the resident;s needs and organizing different activities, educational, social, and health events. I did this on Monday's so that the rest of the week was well organized.Rest of the week goes in delivering the product. Updating the status with the resident's, answering emails and calls from different resources and community providers. I worked really well with management also with my co- workers as well we worked as a team everyone was so helpful. The most enjoyable part of the job without a doubt the people that i worked with. Everyone was always ready to help and encourage one another. What I've learned from this job, that it has definitely helped me become a more confident person it enhance my personality even more. The only hardest thing was leaving my seniors and co-workers even though we faced different challenges work-load deadlines but, I saw them as opportunities to see how far we can push ourselves, excel at what we do, and be stronger as a team.

A typical work day
- meet with maintenance staff to discuss any overnight emergencies, work orders or issues need to be addresses.
-Send Daily Reports to corporate
-Daily walk through of the property ( checking emergency lights and stairwell, checking to make sure elevators work properly and review sign in sheet with the front desk security, ensuring all guest are signed out.
- Rent collection, addressing residents issues, during audit months preparing documentations.
I learned that you have to have patience and understanding. As a manager nothing can ever be taken personal, And you always have to be open for change.
The workplace culture is diverse, everyone has different point of views and ways they handle things.
The hardest part of the job, is not being able to solve issues outside of jurisdiction and/or control.
The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to advice, assist, and be an inspiration to many I come in contact with daily.

Working for this company was the worst mistake. They destroyed it less than nine months.  They never gave you the opportunity or the materials to do your job right you just had to beat around the bush and pretend management did not have your back they would backstab you. They never had team meetings so nobody knew what to do. Until it became there problem . They felt like they didn’t have to go by any of the rules they can make them up as they went along. They will run people off they set in their office  8 hours away and  know nothing about any of the buildings outside of numbers that they look at it their own desk. It is a  horrible company  you will ever worked for.  Having them taking over was the worst mistake that owner could had done. Good luck is all I can say 

Very easily to grow here if you can befriend everyone and be plastic, do other’s work, and compete where it’s really no competition. If you can’t do those thing then this company is not for you. They will make you feel like every accomplishments you achieve was not earned. They will belittle you where you don’t believe in yourself. The energy that you will take home is unbearable. You MUST, I mean MUST soak in the tub for hours to remove all the negative energy that was around you all day , everyday. But the pay is good if you have thick skin to accept everyone micromanaging you and everything else around you. Apply

I was not provided an employee handbook during onboarding, which led to surprise paycheck deductions I had no way to anticipate. Holiday closures were announced midday the day before… three times…making it very hard to plan. For my first month I had no working printer, computer, or stable WiFi, yet was still expected to be on site for 45-hours a week. I didn’t receive a printer for after 3 months of working here... Communication from leadership was consistently poor throughout my employment. My final paycheck was an also significantly short. Upper management only reaches out when they need something from you.

The office settings are very unorganized. Very unprofessional workers, there's no trainings,  those who aren't part of a clique are left in the dark about things that should be discussed amongst the team. There's no meetings with the employees, so that everyone can be on the same page and know what to do and how to do things the way it's supposed to be done. They don't appreciate their employees and there's no company outings or holiday parties to show their appreciation. Never ever worked for a company like this before. Just so sad how this company doesn't have any respect for their workers. 

First point of contact for various properties under East Lake Management. Daily activities include but not limited to interacting with visitors and tenant’s by greeting them, in person or on the telephone; answering or referring inquires. Responsible for rent collection, generating rent registers, and recording rental payments for five day notices. Input/close work orders in Yardi. Assist with home-inspections along with Property Manager and maintenance. Generate/close purchase orders and track payments for various vendors. Prepare/complete move-in and move-out files.

I Love working for East Lake Management, but you don't get bonus, raises or they don't show no appreciation for the hard work,  loyalty and dedication you do. I have been in Maintenance 20 years and have great knowledge of the job. They will promote or hire someone who they know or kin to and pay them more than you. I love to service my residents and I love my staff. I am a Team player and a Team Leader. I have not had a raise in 8 years, I passes all my inspection, I still do some work orders, tractor drive,  shovel snow on the bobcat, etc.

This company treats maintenance very bad, no PPE, the office staff worked half days during Covid19, but maintenance staff worked full regular shifts. They finally gave us
 mask two months into the pandemic. The manager is so unprofessional its ridiculous, and hires personal friends. Its really unbelievable. Lots of favoritism, family hires, etc... Its a complete mess, especially the Kedzie office.
