Knightvest Management

What is the best part of working at the company?
While I had a challenging experience overall, there were a few positive aspects at the company. I appreciated the opportunity to work with some talented colleagues who were dedicated and passionate about their work. Additionally, the projects I was assigned allowed me to develop certain skills that have been valuable in my career. However, it's important for me to note that these positive aspects were overshadowed by the issues of low pay and a lack of appreciation for hard work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
1. Financial stress due to low pay or feeling undervalued financially.
2. The pressure of overpromising and struggling to meet expectations.
3. Dealing with a work environment that lacks recognition or appreciation for hard work.
4. Navigating office politics and the negative impact it can have on morale and professional growth.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment at Knightvest may have felt strained due to the lack of appreciation for hard work and the focus on office politics. The culture may have been one of cut-throat competition, with limited collaboration and teamwork. Over promising but not delivering could have created a sense of pressure and stress. Additionally, the company's unwillingness to invest and recognize may have fostered a sentiment of undervaluation and dissatisfaction.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The typical day at the office involved a micromanaged environment with strict time tracking and a threat of being written up, even for slight overtime. This kind of situation can create a high-pressure atmosphere and impacted morale. My coworkers constantly felt scrutinized and unable to have flexibility in their schedules.

Being micromanaged and tightly monitored on time can hinder productivity and creativity, as it leaves little room for autonomy and personal initiative. It's unfortunate that we had to work under such stringent conditions, as it can potentially lead to increased stress levels and a lack of work-life balance.

Knightvest purchased the property I was managing in Feb. 2015.  I remember thinking while doing all the prospective buyer tours that I hoped they were the company that purchased the property.  They toured my community 5 times and every time the group got bigger, but they were always very friendly and so positive, pointing out the potential that my community had.  I was ecstatic when finding out they bought it and even more excited when they asked me to join their team.  It has been beyond great ever since.  Though there is a bit of chaos with change and renovations, everyone has always remained positive.  Never once did the owners leave my property without telling me I was going a great job!  That alone made me want to go to work every day!!  Recently, I was presented with the opportunity to move up to the corporate office.  Without really knowing the details of my new role, I knew I would say yes because I was growing with Knightvest!  We are different than the rest, and we do things a little differently than most, but that is what sets us apart and makes us the best!!  I look forward to continuing to grow with this amazing company!!!

I have been with the company for 8 years. Over the years, we have experienced growing pains and many industry challenges, but the one that that has always stayed the same is the way they care about you as a person and if you are struggling personally or professionally, they show that and put in the effort to help you. If you look at our employee list, most of us have been with the company for 5+ years and many more at 10+ years... again, we have our challenges, have rolled out a few things that were fails, but if you don't succeed, try again, and that's just the nature of our industry. Our PTO, holidays, pay, commissions, apartment discounts are better then most. Last year we started quarterly events for each portfolio and it has been so much fun to get together regularly again after covid days. If you are looking for a company with a good work life balance, an opportunity for growth that provides resources and tools to learn more.. check out Knightvest. 

Working in property management can be rewarding, but the constant last-minute corporate visits are exhausting. The pressure they put on onsite teams—especially when we’re already dealing with heavy workloads and trying to stabilize a new property—is unrealistic. It often feels like they expect miracles overnight, without considering what the team has been navigating or the challenges the property has been facing.

This past month at my new site has been especially tough. I’ve been pushing through, catching up on issues left behind, and doing my best to get the community on track. But the lack of notice, support, and understanding from upper management makes the job way more stressful than it needs to be.

I take pride in my work and I give my all, but corporate needs to recognize the reality of onsite operations. More communication, more realistic expectations, and more support would make a world of difference.


Knightvest truly cares about all employees and residents. I have worked with several management companies in my 16 year career and they by far have aced it on almost all levels. The repairs needed are done, employees are held accountable to meet  standards and go above and beyond. The bonus structure is one of the industry  best. The renovations are top notch. Corporate holds employees to high standards and themselves. KV promotes from within more than all the companies I’ve worked for put together. I have only great things to say about this company. 

Honestly, it was fun working here. The team was cool, we would play games with each other, made some TikTok's, and even hung out after work together. Definitely a family type of environment but I cant say the same for their other properties. There is a lot of drama, its super chaotic with stuff going on at all times, the pay is okay, but it could be better. Only reason I stayed for as long as I did was my co-workers. Then i realized that moving up would take literal years and they pay bumps do not offset the stress that would come with them. I no longer work in Property Management but as a College Student it was a great job, taught me a lot and I got to drive a golf cart a lot and meet new people.

Knightvest made the pandemic so much more stressful, our offices stayed open during the entire pandemic. Making our exposure risk extremely high. They made it very obvious that our health was the last things on their minds. We literally had to choose between our health or getting a check. They tried to make it sound good ! " Be lucky you have a job!". This rubbed a lot of the employees the wrong way! When a company does something like this, employees will never forget. I use to love this company but things have changed, its time to move on. They're behind when it comes to pay, you can make so much more else where. 

This is by far the worst management company anyone could work for. Save your time cause you won't last. Employee turnover is out the roof. No one ever last. They get rid of you after a few months and for no reason. They don't care and are heartless. I've witnessed so many literally have to give notice or get fired and for no reason at all. This company needs to be reported to EEOC for the way they treat their employees. They let the upper management belittle there employees and corporate will do nothing about it instead they let the employee go just so they don't have to deal with them. Professionals? Hahaha, yea right. I gave them one star only cause I had to. But they don't deserve any stars.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The lifelong friendship I acquired that was born of the horrid working conditions we both endured. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of communication from upper management, the lack of sticking to one thing said, upper management constantly changing rules and policies. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful! Don’t do it! They run you ragged and don’t ever acknowledge or recognize any effort put in by employees. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dealing with the lack of upper managements organization.

I have been employed with Knightvest since 5/4/15.  I cannot possibly express the positive welcome I received.  The compensation is extremely fair compared to the industry.  Yes, this management focuses on rehab communities, which can be strenuous for some but I love it!  I love the challenge and feed on the energy of the team I'm blessed to work with.  
I have worked for many companies, large and small, and I will make sure to keep my promise to contribute to the best of my abilities to grow with Knightvest for years to come.  I'm very impressed.

I commute 1 hr and 45 minutes a day.  What does that tell you?
