Goldmark Property Management

I joined Goldmark with prior property management experience, which has been incredibly helpful in my role as a property manager here. What stands out to me is how much responsibility property managers at Goldmark are given. It can definitely be overwhelming at times, but I truly value the hands-on experience I’m gaining. No amount of education can prepare you for this industry quite like learning on the job. In other words, I love how I’m growing through the challenges and responsibilities at this company.

One of the best parts of working here is the opportunity to be involved in nearly every aspect of the properties I manage. While other companies might have different departments handling certain tasks, it can feel like less work on your plate. But for someone like me, who thrives on personal growth and pushing myself, I find that having a broader scope of responsibility provides invaluable operational experience. I place a lot of value on that because it’s something I can carry with me throughout my career. It’s a skill set and personal development that will always be mine, and that’s something no one can take away from me. It’s priceless and will definitely open doors for me down the road.

Goldmark also offers great pay and benefits. If you work hard and hit your performance goals, the company celebrates you and rewards your efforts in many ways. There are always performance-based commissions available, which makes the work even more rewarding. Though I plan to work in property management for several more years while pursuing further education, I plan to grow my experience from property management into advocacy for this industry (long term goal) . 

Very toxic culture. Leadership is lacking in giving clear direction to team members. Talk about being a "family" and they do give off that cult vibe. People leave the company fast than they can hire leaving most teams short. Their reputation makes it extremely hard to recruit quality to open positions within the company. They are not good at promoting from within so people tend to leave. There is zero training for any and all positions within the company. Very corporate with all of the meetings that you would expect in this environment. No collaboration with leaders, if you speak up you will be retaliated against for thinking outside the box. You will be looking for or entertaining different jobs immediately. The veil is lifted quickly and the lack of attention to their managed apartment units is glaring. So many of their properties are infested with roaches and attempts to eliminate them is ongoing and requires circling back around to the beginning of the process. There must be an overwhelming amount of insecticide in every building at this point. Don't waste your time on this one. 

Goldmark used to be a great company to work for.  Long term employees, it was a big family away from your family.  Changes in leadership over the last 18 months has caused the company to go down hill and fast.  I don't know how this company even operates.  The work environment is hostile and toxic.  New leadership leads by fear and lacks basic empathy.  They underpay employees and expect you to dedicate your life to them for bottom of the barrel pay.  Upper management spreads gossip and goes around from property to property fishing for information about other employees.  The company implements major changes with little to no training and expects you to be able to just make it happen with zero support and then reprimands you for not doing something right.  They give ZERO support to site staff to properly care for resident concerns.  This company does not care about it's employees or residents.  The list could go on forever.  New leadership in the last year should be fired and i cant for the life of me understand why ownership does'nt see the damage that has been done.  -0/10 recommend. 

Minneapolis region leadership is very difficult to work with, and the upper management in Fargo isn't much better.  Very behind the back, throw the other guy under the bus kind of stuff.  I was in management and could get nothing done because of the disorganization and lack of real knowledge (despite them thinking they are experts in everything) of those above me.  Empty promises from the start and no follow through or concern when you bring issues to their attention.  It is a culture of stick your head in the sand and maybe the problem will go away, if not then do everything you can to cover your backside and pass the blame over to someone else below you.  Add to that sub-industry compensation and an unmanageable work load and that is what you have to look forward to.
As does any company, there are some good people there that I enjoyed and that care about doing good work, but in the end that doesn't outweigh the bad.  It is a very volatile environment with a ton of turnover which speaks volumes about what is going on with those in charge so a strong caution about this company, it looks good on the way in but won't stay that way for long.

The job itself is fun and offers something different every day.  There is room to grow in your roles.  Most of the on site people you work with are great, but the upper management (corporate office) seems to have a huge lack of disconnect with the site staff.  They often times draw conclusions without actively seeking all facts and much of the time this company is all about who you are friends with.  There is little appreciation shown for extra hours worked at the end of the month and it seems the only time you are recognized is by exceeding sales goals.  There is no recognition for a job well done or for providing great service to current residents.  It wasn't always like this, but its taken a major nose dive in the last couple of years.  They have the potential to be great if they would hold those in the corporate office more accountable for how they are interacting/treating employees and not supporting the on site staff that are out there doing the job.

In the property management career, some days are naturally slower than others.  The summer months are generally very busy, since most people prefer to move when the weather is nice, which doesn't last long in North Dakota. Extra time during slow days can be filled with posting ads online, making secondary follow ups with prospective renters, and catching up on paperwork within the office.  I really enjoyed the team that I was managing when I left the company, and our rental numbers were quite high at the time I left the company.  Depending on the month, there are some serious opportunities for Leasing Agents and Assistant Managers to earn bonus commission off their rentals.  Overall, I really enjoyed the job.  One downfall would be that they manage most of the buildings and do not own them.  So, some bigger purchases need to be approved by the owners of the specific building which can make things take slightly longer.  It did seem like some other property management companies in the area were paying managers slightly more than Goldmark.

They promise you a price and then start you out at $18 an hour but If you Get lucky you’ll see $22 an hour with him for years. If they’re desperate for people they will pay up to 23 bucks hour but they’ll still start you at 18 the fillister people somehow got grandfathered in after we were already hired at $26.60 hour-And now make $27.50hr. Had to leave any carpenters and laborers I found out make the highs of $34 hr and Carpenter’s $40hr.  And subcontractors make $75-$85 hour.  Maintenance guys get screwed over to I have no idea call maintenance and handyman people get screwed over so bad and pay when they need to have all their tools and make pennies on the dollar 💵😱😱🤔🤔

The culture is self serving and two faced.  Corporate lacks leadership skills and mentorship. They like to talk about such things, but don’t expect them to walk the walk. If you are at all innovative, motivated, intelligent, or positive, keep your head down and make sure you throttle back your efforts. The higher ups don’t have any personal accountability, but fear not, they don’t expect you to be accountable either. If you like to pass the buck, this might be the place for you. You’ll have a wonderful time listening to all the gossip. Management will only encourage hard work if it makes themselves look good. But if you can keep to yourself, don’t share ideas, and just fix stuff when it breaks, you might be ok.

Goldmark is every bit as bad of a company as you would expect. While the pay and benefits are attractive qualities do not be seduced by these traits. Goldmark is the bottom of the dirt hole when it comes to career options. I was floored by the riff raff I had to work with. Management will chew you up and spit you out if you act like anything other then a working drone. If you work maintenance be prepared to have your car completely destroyed as you are required to use your own vehicle. The last time I had to use my own car at a job was when I was delivering pizzas. This place is very very bad for anyone who wants a serious career. Let this be a warning to anyone who wants to work here.... don't do it if you value any sense of your worth as a person.

The typical atmosphere in an office is upbeat, competitive, and enjoyable. This is very dependent upon which managers you are under and what the site vacancy currently is. In general, everyone is supportive of each other and work well together. If the vacancy is higher, the pressure builds with a large disconnect from Upper Management.  I feel they truly have every intention of being supportive, but lack the drive to be more communicative. Poor observation/listening skills as evidenced by praising the most typically toxic/lazy team members.
