Metropolitan Management Corporation

This was the worst company I have ever worked for in my professional career, this company is even worse than all of the part time and seasonal jobs I had growing up as a kid. 
In the industry I work, Metropolitan underpays by about 10-20% at their lowest level position. The pay gap only widens as the positions increase and titles are gained. However, you are required to do the same amount of work or even in some cases more than at other companies. All while being extremely underpaid. 
During my time there, I saw at least half a dozen people in my field leave the company because of poor treatment to their workers. 
You were ''required'' to be at after work events, but were often not paid for being at said events. There was also no such thing as overtime. If you had any overtime, you would be sent home at the end of the week. Not asked if you wanted to leave early, sent home. Metropolitan also required my position to do on call for every property in the region. Whenever you received an on call it did not matter if the call took you 5 minutes or 5 hours, you received a flat rate of I believe it was 35 dollars ( not including the time it took you to drive to and from the property of course ). On top of being required to cover properties, the budgets for all said properties were absurdly small. So receiving the proper supplies to complete simple tasks was nearly impossible. 

These are only the day to day things in a work day at Metropolitan, I could go on and on about how unprofessional some of the higher ups in management are. However I hope that they are no longer there and the company is finally doing the right things for their clients since I have left. 

Long story short, if you need a job just to get you by until you can find another one? Or even just a job to help build a resume for a few months before you can move on to another company. Tread through the toxic environment that is Metropolitan Management group lightly...because it just might not be worth your time and effort. 

They talk a good game, telling you they care and they will soon make the company better when in reality they care nothing beyond themselves. Their customers often go without bare necessities in their apartments as the techs are working at the owners home or at one of the VP’s
Places. You will be told that they are working on a 401 k package, told they are working on it. Good
Luck as they have been working on it for years. They will give you a laptop so you can work from home if needed, what they don’t tell you is that they give you so little support and so much work that your working from home time consists
Of nights and weekends. There are zero people at the corporate office that care for anything beyond deflecting the constant blame, paranoia and screaming. In many ways this company is like part one of the movie Harry Potter and the Ghostly Hallows, particularly the ministry of magic. The churn is incredibly high in the company in most divisions, sometimes as high as 500% of industry standard. 

This company is growing so fast and always looking to fill new roles it creates. I have seen reviews about how they are always hiring and that has far more to do with new roles being created than it does with any kind of turnover. This is a company that you come to if you are ready to find your "forever job". Everyone from supervisors to the c-suite execs are rooting for your growth and willing to put in work to make sure you are happy, well trained, and you are not facing any challenges alone. You will be set up to win and management is there so that you succeed. The culture of the organization is "succeed together" and it is clear in everything you do here. I have seen employees leave for other positions elsewhere but each time they come back because it is nearly impossible to find an organization that compares. Between the benefit package, the coworkers you will meet, the growth we are headed towards, and the managers and mentors you will have at Metropolitan no one can keep up. We are all very lucky to be here.

Lunch breaks, most of the time spent on the clock was nearly unbearable

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

Its a job they depend on you on some things that aren't in your job description, when it comes to money your on a budget and depending what career you are in your going be spending your own money for some things , you do have the chance to improve and get a better position most staff are very nice and friendly benefits are good if you don't have a family 

The support from co-workers in unmatched! Mostly everyone is willing to step in where needed and help you out. Work hard, play hard is something that seems to be in the air here. Doing a good job is definitely rewarded and there is lots of room for advancement if you put the time in. The company is growing which means that there will only be more room for growth in the future. Cannot wait to see where this company goes!!

There are some really great people that work at Metropolitan, and that's what kept me there as long as it had. There is an extremely high turnover rate there, and you can't even blame them for leaving. But then, they may or may not replace them. Next thing you know, you're doing 2-3 jobs but being paid for 1. 

Don't take the job, you are at will and your housing situation relies on being employed. The training was 2 weeks on a computer and does not prepare you for the job. The Corporate office spies on you during the work day on the cameras & scans your social media. Not worth it
