What is the best part of working at the company?
Coworkers who I am still great friends with today

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Disorganized and inexperienced senior leaders who have little no experience managing people or working in a nonprofit environment and are mainly there to be able to say “I worked at a non profit” and build their resume.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. No one will have your back and there’s nothing anyone can do. There is no work life balance - if you get an email at 10 at night you better respond or else expect a passive aggressive response. Senior leadership asks for gossip and examples of poor behavior of other senior leaders. It’s really terrible.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Make a plan and have that plan destroyed before 9am because someone is senior leadership is throwing a fit.

Management is out of touch with reality. Only the higher, higher ups were truly interested in how their decisions affected others but they answer to the board so they have little power to control the decisions being made or the outcomes after. Stepping outside of my comfort zone to try something new only led to jealous & envious remarks from my 'leadership' & praise from the team I collaborated with. My ambition was constantly undermined from my direct leadership almost with surprise at my audacity or gall to want to do & be better for myself & my team. Not an experience I'd ever want to repeat because there was no room for growth & any attempt to make room yourself was met with negative feedback. 

Decent place to start and gain some experience, and has room for movement and growth within the company. The benefits are decent. There is also MAJOR room for improvement on the Residential (Property management) side. 

Long story short, if you have an easy property, you'll love it. If you have challenging properties, you may feel overwhelmed, and help is hard to come by. Upper management like regional managers, pick and choose which properties are important to them and ignore the others. 

If you are not in upper management, compensation is a joke for the amount of work they require from you. Make sure you document everything to avoid being the scapegoat if something happens. 

Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. was founded by Jim and Patty Rouse of Columbia, MD. The mission was to provide affordable housing for low income and poor people.

Everyone has the same goal and purpose - provide affordable housing. And working toward that goal is very rewarding.

I learned that when you extend yourself to help someone else, YOU are helped also.

The most enjoyable part of the job was traveling to different cities, meeting the people you've helped and seeing the joy on their faces because they can have a little piece of the "American Dream."

Enterprise has gone through many transitions in the last several years. If you want a place to learn property management this would be ok as a starter in affordable housing. Probably better than most.  But, you realize that to keep on top of things means there is absolutely no work - life baIance. 
I worked with some talented, skilled,  kind people at the beginning. But as the company grew and changed those people left. They took with them the sense of teamwork and camaraderie  that once existed.  The feeling of a true team, all working toward one common goal faded and was gone. 
That being said, it seems to have become the industry standard. Team building conferences check boxes, nothing more. 

Enterprise helps low-income families find safe and affordable housing. For that reason, it is one of the few jobs where you can feel like you made a positive impact on the world at the end of the day. The degree of flexibility you are afforded as a member of the IT department is fantastic. That said, management has little drive to fix the process and operational issues that beleaguer the organization as a whole. Operational costs are so high (mostly due to inefficiency and wasteful processes) that it's a miracle that Enterprise has stayed in business this long.

Pros: Mission-driven organization where employees care about their work and everyone I've worked with has been very nice and helpful. Laid back environment, flexible schedule, remote work options, and a management team that is actually supportive and approachable. 

Cons: Not much room for career advancement depending on your role, pay is not that great, company is quite big and growing larger so there is a lack of communication across departments. Management like to throw a lot of buzzwords around in regards to new technologies, but lack focus and direction which can make certain projects difficult. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There were some nice people working here.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything was a big secret and not a lot of work to do.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful and difficult.  HR is clueless about how to handle any issues or bring together a team.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Virtually no one speaking to you and nothing much to do.

There are systemic management issues at Enterprise Advisors in Washington DC.  They have gone through three Directors within the past year.  This is a 60% turnover rate, as there are only four Director positions.  Management and HR need to re-group to better identify goals and mission before hiring again.  Be forewarned taking a job with Advisors.
