Legacy Partners

This company has some great potential but leadership and company corporate structure fail to provide support, guidance, and motivation.

-The HR team doesn't help onboard staff members, they require you to do all of the work including reference checks and all of the onboarding paperwork. This isn't very helpful when you are down a staff member and you have to cover additional job duties. The hiring process also takes way too long (several weeks).
-The operations back-end controller (1 single person) will never help you with your problems even when you ask for help. Instead, they will make it harder for you to get your job done. If you end up working here you know who this person is.
-On-site teams are worked into the ground and are understaffed. The only way to receive staffing help from the company is by asking another site to borrow their team member for the day.
-Property Managers do not have any decision-making ability. All big decisions are bottlenecked with a few specific leadership positions which causes projects to take 10 times as long.
-Company initiatives are often implemented without any follow-through or detailed instructions. 
-Employees are required to take online classes that are not relevant to their job duties. If you do not complete these classes you are publically shamed through an email blast.
-Although it is stated that the company has a focus on internal promotion, most experienced positions are hired externally, which means lower positions often have to train them.




Legacy Partners which went through a separation from its parent company, Dallas based, Lincoln Property Company, in 1998, has retained many aspects of a complex accounting structure it had inherited. Over the years with progressive responsibility, I've become one of but a handful of accountants who understand the company's high level, partners accounting. I had enjoyed the challenging assignments and independent work environment afforded me. However, with the economic downturn and the need to cut costs, the company has eliminated several clerical positions and have implemented, without thorough evaluation, an on-line payable system, which in essence spreads the clerical duties previously performed by A/P clerks to pretty much every one in the middle management. The many rounds of cutback have also resulted in an increasingly divisive and demoralizing work atmosphere.

Walking the property checking the rent ready units to be able to show to prospective tenants. How to deal with upset tenants and how to problem solve to be able to accommodate them.It is a very good Management company, they help you to understand get you the training you need to advance. coworkers there all know how to get along and be a team player. What was hard was when there was incidents that would occur in the middle of the night at any time  it needed to get addressed and solved it was a little difficult at first but you get use to it, and you learn how to overcome it. There is a lot of training that is offered to you so that you learn more to grow and advance within the company, there is incentives and bonus given which is a push and a great way for employees.

Days consisted of handling repairs, scheduling vendors, ordering parts, walking to inspect and clean property. Was able to learn a lot about maintenance and repair work while working as a maintenance technician before being promoted to supervisor. My direct managers were good, but corporate managers weren't as in touch with how things happened at the property, and the actually owners of the properties could be a headache to deal with since they wanted to cut the maintenance budget but increase rents. Hardest part of the job was probably when we short handed on employees and trying to keep things running or when property residents found out you lived on site they would constantly stop by. The most enjoyable part of the job was probably the discount on renting an apartment.

Unfortunately once you reach the management level there isn't really much further option for advancement.  There is little training and opportunities that could be for teaching and training are turned into moments of degradation. There is no oversight  over upper management and in some cases employees are being completely over worked and their well being not even cared for. In general there is a complete lack of consideration.  Legacy has amazing talent, but there is a very myopic view and so only a small few are favored.  The benefits are not nearly as good as they were.  In general,  Legacy is a decent place to work for but not to stay long term.

Legacy Partners has a long past and has taken the best of the old and added a modern flair to the new.  Legacy Partners has changed with the times. As a growing company,  there are great opportunities for growth and the company often promotes from within.

The leadership team cares about all associates and it shows on all different levels. Often times in the large multifamily companies, can you feel as if your just a number, but not at Legacy Partners, employee recognition happens everyday. 

The company offers a good benefit package, competitive pay and pays attention to the needs of its associates.

For me, the best part of my job is that I am managed without  someone standing over my shoulder and my supervisor respects my opinion.

As an Accounting Clerk at Legacy Partners, my main job was to assist our Accountant Staffs and Accounts Payable division. My responsibilities consisted of assisting accounts payable functions, reviewing invoices, paying bills, inputting data, contacting vendors to resolve account discrepancies, and maintaining accurate vendor files and payment terms. Managing tedious details and being a part of a team at Leagacy Partners were the most enjoyable parts of the job. I absolutely enjoyed my time here. The hardest part of this job was quitting because I had to move out of town.

Management lacks the know how on building team morale. Good at dividing the team instead of uniting the team. Commissions & bonuses are decent, benefits (Kaiser- HORRIBLE), and the training (if you need it) is ok. Pro: The properties are nice which makes them an easy sell. Con: Legacy keeps their properties open all. the. time. If you like going home for the holidays, forget it, unless your family is in the SoCal area. Otherwise a decent company to work for.

Worse experience working with this company. Very disorganized, no sense of direction or upwards mobility. 
Property Managers need to be trained how to do their jobs, very unprofessional and poor leadership.
Human Resources not available for employees to reach out in regards to any concerns.
Healthcare and dental are very high 
Pay is way too low for work load and expectations to be highly professional and polished.
Drug screening involved hair follicle test, went almost bald for the job.

my day to day operations consisted of the direct supervision of 2 maintenance techs and 1 grounds keeper.
was the sole person on property to make all maintenance and porter supply orders.
created and inputted all p.o.s for all maintenance and supply orders-vendor and contractor bills.
Oversaw all W/O progress and unit turn over completions, worked directly with all vendors and contractors and oversaw all work that transpired on property 
worked with nexus, ceridian and yardi systems.
