This was, without a doubt, the worst company I’ve ever worked for. The lack of support for employees was constant and obvious. Our team was severely understaffed and underpaid, yet management refused to hire additional help. Instead, they continuously added more responsibilities to our workload and expected everything to be completed without issue.

What made things even more frustrating was the pay imbalance. New hires were brought in making more than long-term employees who had already proven their value and dedication. There was no sense of fairness or appreciation for those who had been there the longest.

Management rarely acknowledged good performance. Feedback was almost always negative, focused on what needed to change rather than recognizing what was being done well. Asking for help was discouraged to the point where employees were reprimanded for it, which created a stressful and unsupportive environment.

The workplace culture was equally disappointing. There was a strong sense of insincerity—people in leadership would act friendly to your face but speak negatively behind your back. It created a lack of trust and made it difficult to feel comfortable or valued.

To make matters worse, processes and expectations were constantly changing. Just as you learned how to do something correctly, it would be altered, forcing you to start over. It made training feel pointless and added unnecessary frustration to an already overwhelming workload.

Overall, this company lacks structure, support, fairness, and genuine leadership. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a stable or respectful work environment.

Oblivious management,Unstructured, unsupported position with softwares that don’t integrate with field dynamics while you’re held responsible for it. Management is forced to bury themselves behind screens, while they discuss hollow metrics, incompetent budget management, lack of parts, clunky inefficient software, demanding management that are unfamiliar with the position they push you on, the condition of units horrible , deplorable office conditions, effects on your health from stress, mold and allergies and the list goes on.  

a typical day at work - everyone clocks in and hopes 5 o’clock comes quick. 

what you believe you learned: nothing I already didn’t know. I actually regressed here.

management: In fantasy land 

workplace culture: everyone hates it there.

the hardest part of the job: clocking in 

the most enjoyable part of the job: clocking out



In a long line of property management companies that squeeze every dollar out of their portfolio, HMC has made a mockery of the privatization of military communities.  Their focus, while hidden behind a fake smile and even less genuine intentions, is always on the bottom line.  Understandably, a business has to make money in order to operate.  However, they take service members BAH and very little goes back into the homes or community.  Even the newest homes in the community are falling apart within the first few years of occupancy.  Warped siding, moldy closets and bathrooms, HVACs that neither cool or heat the homes adequately; it would be a comedy if it wasn't such a tragedy.
Also, if you show any proficiency in anything you are boxed in to that role and only those that bootlick and coddle the management have any chance at upward mobility.
In theory, this should be a great place to work.  This is why the overall rating is 3 stars.  Working with service members feels very rewarding.  What isn't rewarding is the feeling of being part of an underhanded cash-grab.  My advice, proceed with extreme caution.

The team was overworked and willing to create drama to move ahead. There is no “upper management support” when you hire managers with no experience in housing and then mistreat the ones who do. When management doesn’t work with the team there is a disconnect. Also there is no job security with Hunt. They create random “restructuring “ to eliminate what they consider to be bad or problematic employees (which are employees who state their opinion but still do their jobs well) and their company culture is transparency and customer service but they are not transparent at all and bottom line with customer service is the almighty dollar. Training is sub par and leaves you floundering in your position. 

I can only speak for the Barksdale location, since I'm sure the work environments will be very different in other states. I loved it there! There were some inconsistencies with management and also work drama/rumors. For example, certain employees could disappear for half the day and never get their work done while others were expected to pick up their slack and remained under intense scrutiny. Other than some apparent favoritism, it was a great place to work. I loved having measurable progress, and we were recognized when we got the job done efficiently. Our meetings were always a ton of fun and we had work celebrations for each holiday. In general I felt motivated, heard, and well compensated while working there.

This is property management for military housing, essentially. You field questions from residents in person and over the phone. As a leasing specialist, you will also aid prospective residents with completing their application, inspecting homes before move-in, and coordinating the completion of the leasing process with them. You are working the waitlist daily in an effort to keep occupancy up. The management is supportive, and the overall culture is a team atmosphere. I learned how to adapt in this position, as your day never went as planned.  You have to be able to pivot in this role. That was probably the hardest part of the job.  The most enjoyable was meeting people from all over the world and assisting them in meeting their housing needs.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good people, very well organized company, excellent pay and benefits.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It was hard to know where you stood at any particular time, there were so many projects going at the same time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
 Not too bad, especially considering they are a DOD contractor 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
7:30-5:30 typically, start with yesterdays performance reports, review the numbers related to response time, and completion of work orders.
Then start going through the many projects and where they stood as far as completion, ordering of materials etc.
Any emergencies that come up needed to be dealt with ASAP many times this could take up your entire day.

I am overworked, underpaid for all i do and cant support my family on what i make. Certain people are on call many times more than others. Some employees hide out or do all the ez work and leave others to do all the hard jobs. I dont feel like the supervisor pays enough attention to this and other factors. 
When you are on call, you are supposed to have a person on back up call unless you get slammed with calls, but that back up person never seems to answer your call for help when you need them. 
This and the fact that I work literally everday and get no time with my family and struggle to pay my bills, keeps me in a high stress level. I want to enjoy my job and my family.

Hunt is a company with a set of core beliefs that none of their employees follow.

typical site level work culture is one of dishonesty and unattainable expectations.

site level managers are not productive instead they spend their time talking about the Military residents, staff and generally gossiping.

it is a company that thrives on employees who pretend to be someone else depending on which corporate manager is on site at the time.

this is not an employee friendly company. the culture is to give accolades to the employees who are non productive and do not hold themselves accountable while harassing and belittling the employees who do work.
 managers take credit for the field personnel work , while they do not contribute and cause dissension in the onsite teams

Typical day at work consists of finding work orders to complete in designated area they assign to you. They give you 3-4 weeks to ride with other techs to train. I learned a lot but not enough to be efficient. 
Work place culture is spoken with high regard. But actions from management and other techs do not match. 
The hardest part of the job is being left to figure things out on your own. The surprise 6 day work weeks. Not having time off that was agreed upon prior to hiring. For example. Schedule days off haven’t been correct since the day of hire. They will require six day work weeks and 80% of the techs won’t show up.
The most enjoyable part of the job is how quickly PTO accumulates.
