Heritage Properties, Inc.

Heritage properties is overall a pretty good company to work for. Just as long as you are fine with not having a great work/life balance. 

Benefits are good, but for the minimum insurance for one person is approximately $90.00 every 2 weeks with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi, that only includes medical and dental, with a $40.00 co-pay each visit. They also provide legal shield/ID shield and Aflac insurance. 

Hours are okay, if you work in the office. 8am-5pm Monday through Friday with rotating Saturdays from 9am-1pm. One hour unpaid lunchbreak. 

 The company is not very understanding if personal/family issues arise, as your work always should come first and if you arent able to come to work, your employment will be terminated. 

Paid holidays, vacation and sick time is given, but not at a good rate. You also get 2 floating paid holidays and a paid day off for your birthday and for your work anniversary. 

The HR department isn't the best because they aren't unbiased. If someone is a long term employee they will always take their word on things instead of looking into something and actually listening to what's going on and taking action. 

I have met MANY great employees throughout the whole company and am grateful for each and everyone one of them, but like everywhere there are some "not so great" people who are only working there for a free apartment and have no customer service skills. 

I personally would recommend Heritage to anyone who is willing to have their work take majority of their time and not be paid for what your work is really worth. Also, make sure you really like the people you work with that is very important. 

Heritage Properties takes pride in the communities they own and manage.  They are generous with the budgets and will support your needs for equipment, training, and property improvements.  They push to keep the employees trained in the latest expectations and regulations of multi-family requirements.  If you are lucky to work with a team that thinks the same and has the same drive for excellence you will be able to take pride in your job and property.  Raises, bonuses can be a very regular occurrence and they are very generous with these.  Corporate expects allot from its properties and they depend upon the middle management to ensure that these expectations are met.  If you have high expectations you will be successful with this company.
There is a down side to all these expectations, a very heavy work load for each and every employee.  With the ever changing requirements and expectations of service from the apartment rental community and governmental regulations these goals are hard to meet and will require future increases in staffing to meet these demands so that the employees are not so burdened.  The company expects allot but also the rewards are satisfying from a group of kind and generous owners.

Going on 3 years and no two days are the same. Each day I have a chance to check off multiple items and feel productive. 8 hours will fly by as there are many different things to do to keep us from getting bored. Deadlines are reasonable and attainable with a lot of support and encouragement. There are days that run longer than expected, but it's typically during leasing season. Which requires many tours and the over-time is rewarded per pay period, but also on bonuses for closing on leases. So the longer days are very much worth it! This company prides itself in training and continues training with refresher courses that are completely paid for by the company. Travel and hotels are also paid for if you required to stay over night for trainings and seminars. Heritage also likes to reward our hard work by hosting conferences for management and support staff! This our opportunity to meet other employees from all over our companies platform and get to take refresher courses/workshops. However, they really know how to wine and dine us by dedicating the evenings to showing us a really good time. I have never worked for such an amazing company and I highly recommend submitting your resume'.

The company has had many changes over the years. In the beginning for me it was slow paced and a bit unorganized (but I was new so it worked). However, in the past 3 years it has made leaps above where it was. It can be a bit micromanaging from the upper levels at times but it was worse a few years back. The required tasks can feel piled on at times and overwhelming. I am paid fairly and enjoy the people I work with daily and remotely. I hear horror stories of some management companies but for me this one has been by far the best. Your experience with the VP is what you make it, he’s tough but fair and he always listens. That counts A LOT to me. Working through this pandemic has been challenging and caused a lot of additional stress for everyone but we seem to be pushing through and Heritage did not lay off a single employee to my knowledge during this time. There’s a lot to be said for a company that kept us all employed and fully paid during the “stay at home orders”. There are some organizational things that still need work but in any big company I think that’s par for the course! 

In my 15 years in the industry I have worked at several companies in a variety of positions, up to Regional Supervisor and Operations Manager. I have been a Property Manager with HPI for about 8 years. I've been through a couple VPs, a few Regional Managers, and managed different properties for different owners. The training and support has only gotten better! The involvement of upper management and owners shows genuine care for their employees and dedication to their assets. The concern shown over employees' hours during COVID-19 office closures and the implementation of policies to assist everyone in getting their 40 hours proved again how fantastic this company is! The hiring process is a process. HPI cares about getting the employees with the best fit in each position. Even grounds and leasing consultants meet with upper management to determine if they share core values. I have not seen a lot of turn over in the areas I've worked, which does make it difficult to move up to some positions. However, being committed and flexible can lead to increased responsibilities and compensation.

I have been with Heritage Properties for almost 8 years now. The structure and overall mission of the company is phenomenal. They take pride in their communities, staffing, training, and always staying up to date with software and technology. They love to promote within the company. I started as a leasing agent and was quickly promoted to an assistant manager. I have now been a community manager for them for over 2 years. The down to Earth, but still professional, approach from my superiors makes me feel, not only needed, but truly wanted and appreciated. They value my opinion and input when asked, which means a lot as well. There are a lot of changes, mostly for the good, but it can be a little overwhelming to keep up with all tasks and deadlines. I would not fault Heritage Properties for that. That is just the nature of being in this industry. If anyone is hesitant to work for this company, please think otherwise. They do not disappoint! (And if they do, it is probably your fault anyway.)  #theheritageway

Decent job. If you're a maintenance technician be prepared for your life to revolve around on-call shifts. If you're a grounds keeper, painter, cleaner, or office staff it is not stressful at all. The pay is not that well considering your responsibilities. Although there are opportunities to advance in position and get yearly raises. You will max out at around $18/Hr for maintenance but you're expected to perform quality work as a skilled tradesman 
who would make $25-$40/Hr. You will be on-call 24/7 and you will have little to no time for personal life. Its mainly due to poor building materials (old pipes, old ac units and furnaces, etc). You do accrue PTO so thats a positive. All in all, it will pay the bills. But be prepared to feel underpaid and overworked. 

I loved working in the actual office but since the new president has taken over, you are over worked. I would start until 7 or 8pm every day to make sure that everything was taken care of. I'm a hard worker and gave a lot to this company but you're in property management. Some leave unhappy even if you try to do all you can to help them. I was never written up and a precepts resident called and made false accusations to corporate. They never asked me what happened, they just fired me. All the extra hours I put in and dedication to this company didn't matter. They don't care about you at the end of the day. The people you work with do but to corporate you're just another number. They'll let you go in a second with no real reason given. People were scared for their jobs that had been there for 20 years. For good reason, they were firing several people that had given their all to this company. 

Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with this company. I have a vast amount of knowledge about the property management process, I never had before. I have someone I can always go to for answers if I run into a problem that I'm not equipped to handle. The corporate office is fun and has a good staff. There are long days and stressful days, but we always pull together and get everything accomplished in a timely manner. With our teamwork and abilities, we are unstoppable. We always have team building functions and there's always a meal and time to sit and converse as friends, not only coworkers, we all feel that is very important. In my opinion, these things are what make our company the greatest company to be a part of whether you're in the market for a new career or a new home.

Avoid this company at all cost. There is no upside to the job at all. Difficult and arduous hiring process. The pay is good but once your in the position you’ll be micro managed into anxiety. No real ability to exercise any professional authority, you’re essentially a babysitter. Middle management is sociopathic and toxic. On the whole they have no real interest in maintaining customer service or taking care of their tenants. They are more inclined to find ways to extract fees and fines upon existing clientele than actually building lasting relationships with tenants. Stay away from this company.
