Eenhoorn

As an immigrant, Eenhoorn was the first company I worked for in the United States… and I could not have asked for a better company to help me grow in an American work setting. I understand American culture quite well, but one thing that I realized is how unaware and oblivious I was to the differences in American and my home country’s work culture - especially, in the first three to four months of my employment at Eenhoorn. Therefore, the leadership and my manager did very well in helping me navigate through these differences in work culture. This allowed me to experiment with my marketing endeavors, feel more confident to take initiatives, and feel a part of the Eenhoorn team.

Moreover, Eenhoorn and its employees did well in creating an environment that helped me feel comfortable as a minority. As someone who has lived in many different countries and moved constantly, I believe that diversity should not be focused too much on the extrinsic factors in demographics, rather should be focused on how well diversity/differences is accepted and embraced by individuals of an organization. At Eenhoorn, I felt everyone did a great job accepting diversity. Even though my first day I felt that I stood out like a sore thumb - being the only Asian in the office, I really appreciated each employees’ genuine and sincere interest in who I am and where I came from. This really made me feel comfortable and a part of Eenhoorn. Ultimately, this highlights Eenhoorn’s strong stance on diversity. 

Bottom Line: If you are genuine about working hard, learning, and want to have great coworkers in a great work environment that champions diversity - Eenhoorn is definitely a great fit for you. 

I thought Eenhoorn was going to be a great company .... I was so wrong. I was lied to about the staffing, behind with over 200 outstanding work orders, 15 HVAC's down in occupied units. 4 balconies literally disconnected off the buildings. Sewer lines snapping from overgrown trees, A pool that had no emergency items or a working gate, the list goes on. Delinquency was at 20%, no manager on site for months and their support center was running it from Michigan. Even the budgeting is beyond comprehension, lighting monthly is less than the cost of 1 light fixture. No one has ever kept track of freon usage, no safety inspections. It was just not what I was told it would be...

As an employee of Eenhoorn for over three years, I can attest to how much this company and its owner cares about its employees. It's hard to find a company who cares about you as people first (not just workers). They strive to celebrate wins and encourage morale on the ground level all the way up to the top. I am grateful for all of the opportunity and consistent consideration I have received as an employee and look forward to many more years with this company. If you are looking for longevity in your career, this is a great place to find that.

Even though I was only part time, I only was able to work 5-10 hours a week because the manager insisted it was too slow for me to come in. They made it very clear that I was not needed there, and acted as if my paycheck came out of their own pocket. I had to quit because I can not live off of 5-10 hours a week. The manager never even said goodbye to me, they took off the last few days I was scheduled to work. The residents did more for me than the manager ever did. The manager favored the maintenance team, even if they were caught doing things they were not supposed to be doing. Also, the new lease bonuses were extremely low, which meant you would only get around $40 per lease. I wish I would have never left my old company and wasted my time here.

While Eenhoorn is a large company with many properties, each individual property is run like its own company. Each manager is allowed to set some policies, and each department is given a fair amount of free range, granted you don't take advantage of it. Corporate office does not like to fix what isn't broken and addresses major issues and concerns quite promptly. The fringe benefits are quite nice, and overall I am very satisfied with my time working for Eenhoorn. The pay could be a little better, but the benefits (insurance,medical, dental, and vision; company paid disability; rent discount; 401k with match; paid leave: personal, sick, and holidays) are quite excellent!

As a Security Officer you are to spend half your time in the office watching cameras, answering phone calls, and dispatching other officers. The other half of the time is spent doing patrols and responding to calls. The job itself is easy and straightforward. The management is terrible and does not help the department grow. It hinders this by not listening to problems within the department. The workplace culture is dependent on if you do your job or not. If you slack at your work then you’ll find it’s not great, but if you’re doing work then it’s not usually bad.  The hardest part of the job is dealing with work place politics. The best part of the job was being able to assist others.

I could not have been happier with my 5 years at Eenhoorn. So many opportunities to be resourceful and gain a full circle view of business and customer service. My colleagues were supportive and everyone pitches in. It always felt like a team effort. Eenhoorn gave me everything I was looking for as an employee and then some. People care in the company and you're given the tools you need to succeed. You're taught to problem solve, dive deeper, and form trust. Leadership cares. You're given every opportunity to grow and develop as a person and a professional. You're given the opportunity to cross train and learn more than what your role may entails, which was important to me.

Typical Day at work in the Maintenance field is always different from day to day. Same routines but always be on your toes for a accident the need to be attended to RIGHT AWAY! Management was pretty well off. Loved to here new ideas and how to communicate with the team day in, day out. Fun & Out going. The hardest part about being a Maintenance Tech for me I would say is Understanding how to balance your work day & being productive so your advancing your property monthly.

There were many great perks, like free fresh lunch provided and access to a pool and gym. However, it was a toxic environment to work in. The upper management team promises the world and then doesn't follow through with their promises (pay increases), even if it's in writing. Stressful environment...you never know when someone will be let go...even if it's because they are overweight. There were meetings behind people's backs about how to fire them because they had a worker's comp claim (they got hurt on the job). Top management claim to be Christians, but they had Unethical behavior behind closed doors.

Pros:
Decent health benefits
401K company match
Paid time off
On-site property discounts
Annual retreats
Monthly company-wide meetings 
Awesome HR department

Cons:
Lack of communication in regards to constructive feedback- nobody wants to be the bad guy and tell you how you can do better
No development plans in place for growth/education
Extremely high turnover
Compensation is low compared to other companies
Clear picture of favoritism within the company
Poor work/life balance
PMs have little to no authority over decisions made for their property
