Elmington

Pros working  at Elmington:
Competitive compensation—typically at or slightly above market rate for your level of experience.  
Ideal for recent graduates or early-career professionals looking to gain exposure quickly. 
Prime downtown Nashville location with access to a modern office environment.  Fast-paced setting where you’ll learn a lot in a short amount of time, often working alongside experienced mentors.  
As a junior team member, you're less likely to be held accountable for company-level performance gaps (there are a ton), allowing room to grow without high-stakes pressure. 
A strong “bootcamp” environment for building foundational skills early in your career,

Cons working at Elmington:
Not ideal for seasoned professionals (5–20 years experience) seeking strategic leadership roles or long-term growth
Work-life balance is limited, with promotions often tied to putting the company above all else
Blame culture emerges when performance targets aren’t met—accountability is often deflected toward experienced professionals rather than evaluated constructively
Corporate culture rewards full immersion, which can be misaligned for those with families or other priorities
High turnover rate has led to ongoing backfilling of roles, reflecting burnout more than business growth.
Long-term career progression may feel capped for experienced talent—depth of experience is not always appreciated or fully utilized





High churn rate in the 5 months I was there I was on my 5th so called property manager who did not like me. My original manager and assistant manager were awesome. The lease up manager bullied her until she transferred and they fired the assistant manager for asking about her commission check. I was given high marks and approval within my 90 days by my original manager. I was performing jobs as Maint. Supe, Maint. Tech, and Groundsman with zero help. There was a leasing agent who quit and was promoted through nepotism to be my supervisor. Also during my 90 days the lease up manager would not allow me to complete my company required training on my laptop. I was given a separation letter with no warning, no write up, no coaching, but the joke was on them because that same day I was let go later that night several units flooded from a plumbing leak because I received over 50 calls on the automated emergency number linked to my cell phone. Several issues I brought to the leasing manager about residential complaints about parking, security, filthy carpets, dog feces in hallways were ignored and brushed aside. I even came up with multiple solutions which were dismissed. They did not value quality maintenance there all they cared about is making numbers look good and hurrying up to lease overpriced 2 bedroom units. I felt bad for some of the residents who had their cars broken into and valuables stolen quite often. When the owner spent  $10,000 on wall paper before security cameras I knew this company had issues with priorities.

I have had the pleasure and opportunity to work for many great companies in property management, Elmington has to be one of my absolute favorites. I think what I like best about Elmington is the unique way in which the company operates. There are the efficiencies, best practices and the driving force to just get things done, that you find in large companies. Yet, Elmington still manages to act like a small, family owned company in the ways that matter to employees. The culture is inviting, collaborative and caring. We just had bring your dog to work day, employees were offered a extra day of vacation time for bringing in a toy for our holiday toy drive, and it is not unusual for upper management to give rewards (monetary and others,) out of the blue to employees who demonstrate remarkable commitment to their properties or coworkers. 

Changes in procedures and technology tools are more frequent than in many companies, but only because of growth and a desire to leverage technology to help teams perform with more ease and efficiency. Elmington is not for everyone. Elmington moves fast, has high standards of performance and expects their managers/leaders to operate like business owners. For people who fit that, the company is exciting, engaging and geared to help you succeed. For anyone who doesn't have a decent business acumen or prefers to maintain status quo, it may be uncomfortable. 

I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of the team and feel blessed to work with such a great group of people.

Even though you may not interact with "Corporate" on a daily basis, they structure policy so that you are micromanaged. The culture that has come out of that is so toxic and obnoxious that you cannot even do training meetings without being badgered and micromanaged. Not sure how they expect you to take anything from the training meetings when the host, YT (and others) alienate the participants. The badgering is not funny however you disguise it behind the pretentious, fake smiles. And YT- the training meetings aren’t your personal DJ space. Take yourself to the club or something ain’t no one vibing with you, girl. 

I like my direct supervisor and while I have had only indirect interaction with his boss, she seems fine too. 

Too many things at this company though are "broken"- ranging from policy, to the Compliance department, to constant IT problems with Fortress. If you’re one of those people- like me who just wants to be able to do their job don’t expect that you will be able to here- everyday is a battle just to get things done. Don’t expect efficiency,  don’t expect communication, don’t expect change or results, don’t expect stability or the ability to plan for the future. Do expect a lot of work, do expect to be underpaid, do expect that even the simplest things will be a fight to accomplish.

Not necessarily a bad company, just bad ownership groups/upper management that have zero idea what managing a multi-family asset is really about. Ask around town before you land at one of these properties and believe everything you hear. Ruthless owners/upper management that set unrealistic expectations. If you don’t turn their joke of a property into gold within 30 days, you’re dead to them. Ironically, they micromanage every move their employees make so even if you’re the best thing since sliced bread, you still aren’t given the tools, freedom & trust to make the necessary changes to improve the property. But I can’t necessarily blame them - when your company is a revolving door & you’re unable to keep an employee for longer than a month, how can you trust the new employees you’re bringing on board?? Corporate has created their own sinking ship and they can’t even see the big picture because they’re blinded by ignorance & dollar signs. 

My message to higher ups: hire an employee & keep them long enough to have a fighting chance to change things... you may actually start to turn a profit at these failing properties. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over, and if you’ve had 15 managers in 3 years at a specific property (sadly that’s not an exaggeration), then the problem could be YOU...

I am super blessed to work for such a wonderful company, Elmington Property Management. The support I receive and the appreciation that is given, is just priceless. They truly care about all their employees.  Not only are they a company with great integrity but they give back to the community -from feeding the hungry, school supplies for less fortunate children, toys for tots, etc. Every person that I have met from our corporate office to our owners, are just absolutely amazing professionally and personally. Every now and then I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. Yes, I work a lot but I don't mind because they let you know how much they appreciate you. Is it perfect?? No, but if it was perfect they would stop improving, they never stop improving. It's truly amazing. When I think it can't get any better, it does! I have no doubt that this is the company everyone will want to be employed by. Might I add -- for such a young company, that is truly amazing--WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!!! The leaders of the company should be so proud of what they have achieved and continue to achieve. I wake up everyday ready to go and happy to go to work---and that is a great feeling!!!   I am proud to say that I am a Regional Manager for Elmington Property Management!

Working at Elmington Property Management has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me. One of the things I appreciate most is the company’s commitment to creating a positive and supportive work environment. The team here truly feels like a family, and everyone is dedicated to working together to achieve our common goals.

I admire how Elmington values growth, both personally and professionally. The leadership team invests in employee development, offering opportunities for training and advancement. This fosters an environment where I feel empowered to develop my skills and contribute meaningfully to the success of the company.

Additionally, I love the company’s commitment to providing excellent service to residents and clients alike. It’s fulfilling to work for a company that prioritizes customer satisfaction and strives to make a positive impact on the communities we manage.

Overall, the blend of supportive colleagues, professional growth opportunities, and a focus on service makes Elmington Property Management a fantastic place to work, and I’m grateful to be part of this team.

My Leasing job was very fast paced. We were a tax credit property that was just bought, so there was a lot of clean up to do in evictions to maintenance. 
I made work orders and closed them out,I answered phones responded to angry tenants that needed their work order completed, I responded to email and voicemails, took applications helped them fill them out then run background checks, call them with the decision, walked apartments showed apts. I would have to do the lease to move them in add them to onsite, once moved in and file them. 
I learned how to be patient, organized, a listener, how to make decisions concerning residents when needed. I learned how to do tax credit property. I was in Murfreesboro for 2 years, 124 units under this company they sold it and bought new property in Nashville and this is where there was 290 units. 
Hardest part of the job trying to reply to all the calls and emails.(There was many) and not being able to help the homeless.
The most enjoyable part was helping house those in desperate need as well as need. Also meeting new people. Management was good they are a young fast growing company.

The Job consisted of working 8-5 every day with saturday and sunday off. (Maintenance schedule is different because there is only one maintenance worker therefore that worker is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The manager I worked with believed in working as a team to get things done, even if it meant that she would have to stay later to help maintenance. Lots of sacrifices from family were made to ensure that the property always maintained its appeal, and that it remained a safe place to live. I would have to say the hardest part of the job was taking demands (not Instructions) from higher up management that would believe 1 non resident over 59 residents. I Loved My job and had some great times with residents. Over time I  grew  Familiar with resiidents and their families which lead to alot of respect and appreciation from them to staff and like wise from staff given to them. I learned that being honest can cost you everything, but honesty is worth it all when it comes to your character.

Typical day at work consisted of meetings with team and subcontractors, Working in Procore ( looking at drawings/submittals/observations/schedule/daily logs, updating meeting agenda for weekly sub meetings), walking site to verify safe work practices and verify completion of work, opening/closing observations and inspections, walking with 3rd party/City inspectors. 
I started as an Assistant Superintendent and was promoted to Superintendent less than 2 years later, and I learned what being a superintendent was all about from the Senior Superintendent that I worked with on my last project with Elmington. 
management was always supportive, always offering advice and helping me alonog the way when needed. 
Workplace culture always fostered a team environment, giving each individual on the team a voice to be heard. 
The most enjoyabe part of the job was working with a team that more of brotherhood; a well oiled machine that worked perfectly on a daily basis. 
The hardest part of the job was leaving.
