When I took over the Apartment Complex, it was in pretty rough condition. There were a lot of Drug Activity taking place & the Complex itself was pretty run down. I formed an alliance with the La Plata County Sheriff's Department and the Drug Task Force to rid the Complex of such activity. When I first got there , the Complex had something like 37 vacant units. Upon my departure I believe there were 7 or 8. Unfortuantely, I was dismissed over an allegation based on heresay instead of fact. Since being Terminated, I have been unable to find other employment. To make matters even worse, I was denied my Unemployment which leaves me with no source of income whatsoever. I am almost homeless right now as I am having to stay where I can. I have applied for over 120 jobs here in Winston-Salem, NC only to hear back from 4. None of which worked out. They did not hire me.

You can work at your own pace as long as you get deadlines met in a timely manner. Have lots of communication, answer phones, provide housing information and assistance. Filing confidential information, recertifications, inspections, appointments, creating fun events and holidays. Estimates from contractors if needed. Receive and send emails, enter invoices, inventory supplies, order supplies needed for office or maintenance. Also doing evictions and move ins, prepare apartment units for the next move in.

Over work you, they dont care about their employees, dont pay over time they want you to be on call without pay they want you to give your life for this company but they treat you bad . If you do your job and do something productive they dont appreciate but you make a little mistake and they make a big thing out of it.  Even if you enjoy your work they sure will make a hostile environment , and discriminate employees.

Pretty easy place to work for if you make it a point to learn. Only real down side was the occasional emergency calls on nights or weekends. Usually you could take that time off later in the week. I enjoyed working with the manager I had when I left. They hired me with no real experience and gave me the opportunity to learn on the job which is a huge plus.

A typical work day consists of meeting the needs of the property. Meeting with tenants, lining up work for maintenance staff. I've learned to better communicate with staff, and tenant. Management team is supportive and easy to work with, co-workers have been reliable and supportive as well. Hardest part of the job is managing tenants. The reward is providing housing to low income families.

This company when I started was great. Until a change in the upper management was made. After that we are overworked and underpaid. We are here to make a living but management don't give a pay on the back. Always worried and don't help.

I really loves the working environment here as I could not find other working places that are better than this, I appreciate everyone I met in this office as working with them was extremely happy.
