Lindsey Management Co., Inc.

Managers are "salaried" husband and wife, or committed couples who are required to live on site, work 19 days in a row at least 4 times annually, work a minimum of 60 hours a week, work 12 days on & 2 days off for the rest of the year, answer and/or respond to calls 24/7 even on holidays, perform hands on maintenance, swimming pool maintenance, clean apartments, paint, perform heating and AC repair, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, respond to all emails, answer all phone calls, show apartments, follow-up with guest cards, phone calls, & email leads, pick up trash, perform 90 day inspections, lease in, train, you get the point.

The guaranteed base salary (per person) is just under $24,000 annually plus you get a free place to "live." When you work where you live, a free place to live is like saying, "you can be available to work 24 hours a day & we won't charge you anything for it!" It's a blessing and a curse. The real money is in the bonuses. Although, they hold half your bonus hostage until the end of the year, the bonuses are amazing. However, there is not a manager maximizing their bonuses who works less than 70 hours a week. If you want to earn top dollar money, you should expect to work no less than 70 hours a week. This typically will result in pay in the range of $60,000-$90,000 annually (per person) depending upon the size of your property.

Managing a Lindsey property is almost identical to working a commission based position. You can work the minimum 60 hours a week for base pay or you can kill yourself, work yourself until you are consumed with the job, perform all your repairs in house, and make 3-4 times what managers making base salary make. For me, it has been worth it to work 70-80 hours a week for $65,000 a year, but my kids & my wife have been neglected due to our drive to make more money.

Corporate office doesn't promote from within anymore. Managing a property is the highest position even top performers have the opportunity to obtain, which requires 24/7 dedication.

The pay is phenomenal. If you are willing to work all the time.

Enjoy feeling like your constantly at work, and having the smallest things thrown at you by "high and mighty" upper management? Enjoy no sick days, bare minimum pay with very high expectations, while contractors get paid much more and are held to much less stringent standards such as background checks? That and be expected to pick up after them when they don't do their job properly. There's no way to advance. And when you do advance, no matter how good your recommendation is, HR will try and skimp on your raises, and try and find little stuff to not give it to you. Such as assigning you 12 apartments to do by yourself, and withholding a promotion over a few missed outlet covers. 
Need help with something youve never been trained on? Nope you get made to feel bad for ruining your managers schedule. 
Don't get sick if your lower employment(even during a pandemic), unlike managers you have to fly through a bunch of hoops and get made to feel bad when you are trying to prevent spreading a disease AND they will burn through your measly 4 days of PTO to quarantine you when they do decide to let you off! No Sick days. Managers get to use doctors notes as excuses not to do work, but as soon as an employee bring something in, they are told its just a recommendation. The list goes on and on, on the things I observed about this company. 

Would have been much more enjoyable if the vast majority of the corporate office employees weren’t unnecessarily rude and unhelpful. As a Community Director, prepare to also sign your life away as you’re required to live on-site usually in an apartment attached to the office and be on-call 24/7 to residents, police and fire department for any issues. If you take vacation, no one is sent to cover you so you come back to a pile of stuff or get a call multiple times a day from your employees on how to handle something (not their fault). It made it not worth it to take time off. Difficult to keep happy employees as they are also severely underpaid and overworked, and you can’t do anything about it. If you have any issues with employees, HR is no help. Community Director pay is very little salary and majority monthly bonus IF you bonus. They will find every reason to keep that bonus from you. Even if you have a roach infested unit that takes longer to rent out, you’ll disqualify for bonus if you don’t immediately get it filled again. Conditions of apartments are usually terrible because they never update anything, and you then have to deal with the residents that are upset (rightfully so sometimes) because they’re getting a rent increase and still have a 1980’s fridge. You work 12 days in a row with 2 days off. You see your regional once a month for maybe 15 minutes, at least that’s how mine was. Great guy but hard to get ahold of, and likely overloaded also. I became so overwhelmed at this job and lack of support that I left.

Working with Lindsey Management was a decent job in the beginning. Now that I am 3 + years in, I regret the decision to accept a position. We are ALL underpaid for what we do. Sure they offer you various rent discounts (full time entry level discounted rent, Senior/Assistant Manager fully comped rent) but that is really it. There are other employers paying close to double what Lindsey starts you at. There is no work life balance, as you are REQUIRED to live on site. Even as a non-salaried employee, you are constantly being asked things off the clock, getting phone calls and texts from a manager who cannot do their job efficiently without you. Vacation time is lackluster (which is subject to your manager "allowing you to be off" and making you feel horrible for requesting time off.) There is no employee handbook, everything is handled by corporate, and there are no decision a property manager can make, which aggravates residents. There is barely any training, you are ridiculed by your supervisor if you do not know what to do i.e "You've been here long enough you should know, go figure it out without asking me" when a resident is in office trying to get help. Property managers are never in office (at least this one) always "running errands on the clock, or getting food, or some other bogus excuse" just to clock out after a "hards day of work" and being told it is okay, because they are salaried, so they get paid regardless. 

Do not walk, run away, Worst company/job I have ever had. Management is awful, cares nothing about the property or how run down and awful it is, The management treats you like you are less than them. You are not a leasing agent you are their maid. You make no commission, have no paid time off for over a year after starting, they pay is unlivable even with the "rental discount" because you are forced to live on property. 
Management will talk down to you CONSTANTLY,  from day one she will treat you like you are nothing and cannot be trusted. You will be degraded verbally, you will get constant bad looks, they will have secret meetings outside with the favorites and you are aware you are unwelcome.
 You will have no work/life balance you will work 7 days in a row before having a day off but they way the pay periods fall they somehow get away with over working you 40 plus hours a week and not having to pay you for it.  
You will have NO support from upper management, they are WELL AWARE of the toxic environment that this places breeds.   The turnover rate is so high, constantly the same issues and complaints from employees to corporate about the toxic environment the managements fuels at this complex, the staff all changes but the manager yet the problems remain the same...  I wouldn't wish this kind of work environment on anymore. 


Immediate employees and employers get along and make the office bearable, but the corporate company above is relentless. They only care about sales. It is difficult to ask for any sort of raise even when you work outside your title and pick up the slack for other departments. They force you to live on property and you have to leave your home to get away from work. If the hourly and the offer of rent discount is enough for you, it is great. I caution any that have to keep a barrier between work and home. There is none here.

It is hard to question anything or offer any new ideas. Anything like an explanation for poor sales will be seen as an excuse. Even when things are out of the control, it comes across as the Office's problem. This town has changed and the out of state Corporate Company does seem to want to do a proper market survey and see that there is a problem with housing in the city. Instead, they believe the sales is the Office's fault.

They do not pay enough for the positions. If you ask upper management about raises or promotions, they will more than likely ignore you. Property managers do not get paid enough for what they have to deal with, on and off the clock (because there is no work-life balance at this company). Upper management will call you at all hours and you will not get paid for most of it. I personally asked to work MORE to better afford my discounted rent and other bills and was denied. I wouldn't have been able to afford to even work there without my roommate moving in to help with the bills. You don't get holiday pay as a part-time employee when you work the holidays, which are required, nor do you get on-call pay (though they pay a full hour when you get a phone call) when handling the overnight phone.  The only thing that made it bearable was my boss. 

This company is flat out the worst company I have ever worked for. The job i applied for had the potential to be a great job. I really enjoyed helping the tenants of the apartment but without good supervision i could not get the proper tools and material to help many of the the tenants. The only way to get any ype of promotion was to have a connection with a higher level employee. They also will not hire relatives but all of the  individuals who run and own everything are related and the only way to become manager was to have a spouse work with you. The pay was horrid 7.50 an hour, but they take half of the rent out of your check so you really are not getting paid enough to live. The maintenance field of the job is 24/7 you have on call nights but dont get paid anything for them unless you actually clock in before going to the call they clock out once done with it and you can not go more than 30 min away while on call.

Typical day was easy. Check pool, do a trash run, general maintenance. It was an easy job. Easy paycheck but you can’t have a social or private life at all there. They truly don’t care about you. Advancement opportunities are rare and even then it’s not much of an achievement. I went 2 1/2 years without a raise and when i asked about it. They acted surprised that i hadn’t had one yet. Gave me 50 cents. To me that was a slap in the face because i took care of the pool. Even got certified  to run the pools for them. And was the main guy that did drywall work and most all the maintenance for the apartments. I worked there for 5 years only reason i stayed was i had free rent. I hated this place 

The work has never been too difficult, but the company itself does not and will not ever care about their employees. Especially the regional managers. Pay isn't great and they will do all they can to not increase your pay. When I moved Up in position, my regional manager tried to give me a $0.50 raise, which is ridiculous. They are greedy and you are unable to make a real career, at least working in one of their leasing offices. They also force you to Live on site so that you get dependent on reduced or free rent, and won't be comfortable To leave the job. When turn season comes around, regional
Management expects the leasing office to make 100+ apartments ready with NO vendors. No cleaners, painters, and barely any maintance. Not a great company to work for.
