Fairway Management

In this position, you travel 100% of the time, which includes the benefit of choosing your own accommodations. You receive a gas card and reimbursement for meals if your hotel doesn’t include them. The workload can be extensive, but the job itself is straightforward, especially if you have strong customer service skills, time management, and adaptability.
While the role is enjoyable, management tends to complicate things unnecessarily through micromanagement and a lack of transparency, which can lead to stress. The company’s actions don’t always align with what is presented during the interview process. One thing to be aware of is the mandatory personality test and “therapy” sessions with the director. Unfortunately, these sessions can feel insincere, and personal insights shared are sometimes used to undermine you later during work hours. It’s not uncommon to receive critical feedback over Teams first thing in the morning, which can set a negative tone for the day.
The management team tends to recruit young professionals from smaller towns, possibly for their perceived ease of influence. If you’re considering this role, I would strongly recommend having a solid sense of self-awareness and confidence, as well as the ability to advocate for yourself when things don’t add up or when you feel judged. The environment can feel manipulative at times, so it’s important to stay grounded, assertive and enthusiastic. READ YOUR EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK!

Working for this company was not fun at all! For starters I was only given 24hrs a week! Three days out of a whole week! "No Overtime Allowed" I was not told when i did my interview that this was going to be the case and i didn't officially find out until i had worked there for at least a week with the company. I understand that the position was part-time but I've worked of plenty of part-time jobs that pay more and give more working hours. It wasn't like the place didn't need more cleaning throughout the week because it did!  When i first started i could tell they hadn't had a housekeeper in a minute, i was told that they had hired two other employees to work there before me but they would work the first day then never return! At first i didn't understand why they did not.... but now i do, who wants to do full-time work for part-time pay? No one does! They expect you to shove a full week's work into three days not going to happen! Also recently there was a fire at the senior housing complex and the elevator was affected by all the water. It would close halfway then open four time's then it would close finally, it also would try to go up or down floors with the door not closed at all! Then when i expressed my concern i was met with a irritated look and a "Oh it's fine". I was expected to get on that faulty elevator with my cleaning cart like nothings wrong to go and clean floors! Like my life's not important!! I was treated with no respect at all, and i would truly recommend no one to work there with the way things are!

The position is 100% travel, I mainly stayed in long term stay hotels and you get to keep your reward points so you basically have free nights for whenever you want to travel some where for fun. The team leadership is great and fair, you get to choose where you stay if it’s in budget so you won’t be in roach motels or anything. The job is fun but the workload and stress can be a lot, especially since You’re often the only person on site if there isn’t a property manager hired yet. That being said there is support from management/other departments to give you guidance, especially starting out. It helps if you’re good at problem solving and can be independent though. You’ll also be doing A LOT of paperwork. They’ll start you on site with another leasing manager for a month- 2 month training period and then it’s up to you to make your lease up a success! I’d say it’s a great job for younger professionals who are ok with living in random places they may not know anybody. They pay for your food, gas, and hotel so if you just put all your stuff in a storage unit and live with what you can take in your car you can save up a ton of money working here. It’s definitely not for everybody, I wouldn’t do it if you have kids or a spouse you don’t want to be away from for month long periods but it’s a great opportunity for the right kind of person. 

I enjoyed property management until I worked for this company. I worked hard to maintain occupancy, compliance, no delinquencies, etc., but once I realized that no matter how much of a great job you do, there will always be an issue found, I started to lose the drive. Upper management does not have your back. You don't feel comfortable discussing your concerns to anyone, because no one cares to listen. The culture of the company is made up as they go. You fear losing your job every day, because of the upper management style, but then they tell you that you don't have to fear losing your job, but the next day, there's a mass email going out, making you feel that you should fear losing your job. If you enjoy your career as much as many of us did before joining this company, I suggest you look elsewhere, because they will make you feel differently about it. But on a positive note, I loved my residents, and they loved me as well. I would have events for them twice a month and we'd have so much fun.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It’s a mean girls atmosphere for those who are working as property managers. So many quit after a week or two ,those that hang in there for as long as they can pretty much need therapy when they’re done. It’s a scary place

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Once a week meetings. Everyone is called up on the carpet. Nothing positive is ever discussed. If you want to get beat up, this is the job for you!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostel,  they had no idea what they were doing, but expected you to make them look good.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get to work early. Try to complete task that we’re not completed by the last four managers, then a phone call yelling at you because you had not cleared what the last managers should’ve done. There is absolutely no help from the upper. He pretty much leave angry and defeated, hoping that tomorrow you can get through the mounds of BS.

Management showed favoritism. Training was poor to none. No employee handbook was given or operating procedures until 3 weeks after start. I was told 1 thing when I was hired and expected to do the opposite once I accepted the position. I was terminated 2 weeks after I started because management thought I had left property but was clearly with staff on camera at the sister property. Was told when I was hired I would have a training coach but then given nothing but another manager who could not answer questions and was only there a couple hours a day.  Was never told working for my previous employer 8hrs a week was a conflict although it was disclosed on my application.  
Very poor management, poor training, no open and consistent communication between upper management amd staff. 

 I do NOT recommend working for this company.

This role requires someone who thrives independently and brings an entrepreneurial spirit to everything they do. The ideal candidate is goal-oriented, hardworking, and motivated by contributing to the success of both the team and the residents they serve. This is a fast-paced and rewarding position that is never boring or mundane — every day brings new challenges, opportunities, and learning experiences. Success in this role requires strong marketing skills, attention to detail, leadership ability, and a proven drive to achieve results, including leasing up a property within 90 days.  You will not stay at one property you will travel 100%and you are trusted to work independently, achieve the monthly goals and get the job done.  You will be rewarded.

A typical day at fairway consists of attempting to fix problems with apartments with only what is had on hand. Having to get parts is viewed as incompetence/ inexperienced. After fixing a water leak in someone's apartment, I was told by a corporate employee: "You shouldn't have needed to use any parts to fix a copper pipe. You young people are just lazy and would rather replace the part than learn to do your job properly." This was after they drove an experienced tech out to my property to show me how to do the job the right way. 
When I first started there, I was told that I could have as much overtime as I want. When I tried to stay late one day to finish a vacant apartment, I was instructed to clock out before finishing it.

Fairway is ranked in the top 25 property management companies in the US at the time of this review.  It's a growing division of a larger groups of entities and has great potential.  With that being said, they are minimally staffed.  This is a necessary evil due to low income housing rent values and current pay scales. 

The work environment can be heavy at times as with all property management cases.  From downtime in maintenance and unit turns to getting overwhelmed within mere weeks the company has moderate support to assist employees at most times.

It's not a bad company to work for and you will get what you put into it.  Adhere to policies and work hard, and they will notice.  There could be lots of growth for the right person.

I worked for 4 years at Fairway Management I loved the site manager I worked with she was great understanding and very good to work with me in times of need couldn't ask for a better boss! The job wasn't bad I liked the people I worked with over whelming at times like inspection times always alot to do in a short time.  pay wasn't that great and raise amounts sucked. I was only allowed to work 20-29 hours a week so I didn't get benefits  no paid vacation no paid time off time pretty much nothing being a part time employee! The job it's self could be very nasty at times with tenants leaving behind uncleaned apartments filled with trash, furniture all kinds of things but over all it wasn't a bad place no one standing over your shoulders demanding things. As long as the job got done in a timely manner they wouldn't bother you much.
