H.J. Russell & Company

With a job in property management you will be required to be available 24hrs regardless if you are salary or hourly and they expect you to answer your phone at all times. The regional managers are great and they are very helpful and hands on with any thing you need. 

The company needs a lot of Improvement in upper management. The lack of communication from the head office is horrible. They do not communicate well with lower management and expect lower management to be able to succeed on your property with little to no guidance.

Was a maintenance supervisor could not order material I need for the property every vendor had leans because of delinquent accounts. Had residents furious with me cause I couldnt get nothing fix. I haf to buy small plumbing items traveled to local home,depot never got a reimbursement. I had no help I was told I could handle,the property by myself. I could take pto days but god for forbid I got an emergency call I was left to deal with it regardless I was on vacation or personal time.

Each day begins riding around entire property for cleanliness, checking messages, checking drop deposit box, getting with staff to plan daily priorities. Checking E-mails,  Making bank deposits, assembling daily reports working with contractors to complete necessary and various jobs around the property and inspecting their work.  Enjoyed the many training programs and weekly meeting with Home Office.  Working closely with staff and residents to make the community a better and safe place to live.

A day at this community was unpredictable, you never know what the day will hold. I left this community after working 2 years of dealing with drugs and bad behavior from residents.  With my bad experience with residents for a section 8 property I must say the property manager crossed trained me very well and because of her I'm now a successful property manager; so lesion is just do your job and things will get better if you put an effort toward your career.

I been with the company a few weeks but i look foward to comming to work i love my job no headache no stress like i had on my last job the pay is good my co-workers as re the best my mgr and my supervisor r the best the ladies r warm and fun to b around i dont even mind saying i wish i had been working here before now this company cares about their employees and they show it in many ways hj russell is a family owned company and i love being a part of this company

Prepare to expect the un-expected in this industry.  You must be able to multi-task and maintain productivity.  The ability to manage your product as well as staff and people.  Building a good relationship with co-workers is vital.  The most difficult part of my job is terminating and evicting.  The most enjoyable part of my job is making a difference.

Days at work cannot be measured by past days, things change daily and working with unpredictable residents/management makes it a place like no other to work. The business mindset should be focused on doing greater good in the community due to not much profit/commission turn out coming from this particular site.

The company does a lot of joint ventures w/ larger name construction companies to enhance their portfolio. I enjoyed the project a worked on but was let go before the next phase of construction started. There was no explanation given to me as to why I was released from the company at the time.

Overall HJR & C is a great place to work with benefits and PTO.  The employees are very helpful when needed.  They train the employees in-house and outside the company with agencies such as AAA-Atlanta Apartment Assoc.; SAHMA- Southeaster Affordable Housing Management Assoc., etc

I was the facilities coordinator for a 100 unit property. The property manager I worked with was fantastic. The regional management was a bit aggravating specially when needing an approved budget to get projects completed. They had me use a temp agency to receive help, that sucked because you never knew who you was getting and most temps that I got was not qualified to be a maintenance technician
