Partnership Property Management

As an on-site manager, the typical day lasts the full twenty-four hours despite the fact that it is considered a part time position.  Although the tenants at the property I managed were overall wonderful people, they would call me after hours and stop by my home when I was off duty to tell me about things that should have been directed to maintenance.  The company has its own online "academy", and the trainings provided are very useful for learning the business.  The president and vice president of the company were both very knowledgeable.  I believe that following the resignation of the previous regional director, the company began to go downhill in this territory.  My primary coworker was the maintenance caretaker.  There were three over the course of my four years.  The first was there for about twelve years and truly made it feel like we were a team in caring for the property.  The other two were not there quite long enough to develop any attachment to it.  I think it is important to have a heart to help people if you want to keep your sanity in the on-site position.  There will be stressful days, stressful weeks at times, but the reward is knowing that you are helping to provide people with affordable housing.

My experience working at Partnership Property Management was extremely disappointing and concerning. The work environment felt hostile, with management frequently engaging in unprofessional and, at times, intimidating behavior toward both employees and residents.

I observed repeated issues with policy enforcement and tenant rights, including situations where proper procedures and permissions did not appear to be followed. There were also ongoing concerns about maintenance practices and accountability, which created frustration for both staff and residents.

Despite attempts to raise these concerns through appropriate channels, little to no action was taken. This led to a workplace culture that felt chaotic and unsupported.

I would strongly encourage leadership to take a closer look at management practices, employee treatment, and compliance with housing standards to ensure a safer and more respectful environment for everyone involved.

I retired after working for this company for 17 1/2 years.   Best company I have ever worked for.  There was always the feeling that the owners wanted to make sure the employees knew they are appreciated.  The current president hired me and I worked with him closely for years.  I always found him to be consistent, fair and I knew he would listen to anyone with a problem.  This is a company you want to work for if you want to work hard, like a professional atmosphere, and are adaptable to changes.  Changes are part of the business and they are tops in the property management business.  Some of the changes come with new technology, which is a good thing, others with industry requirements, etc.  I would recommend this company to anyone.  Always enjoyed working there.  Benefits are good for full time employees.

Typical M-F, 8-5 job. Much of it spent at a desk but there are a lot of options for company fitness groups. Company tries to do a lot of community outreach and volunteering. Management does not seem to be able to or they just don’t want to stand up for employees. You have to be careful about conflicts with certain groups/people because they have no problem choosing their side even if they are telling you that you are in the right. It really is about who you are and who you know. Favoritism is more common than not. When you reach out for help, it is not given. Instead you will be criticized for your actions. You will always be given more work no matter how much help you ask for. There is no such thing as an even workload throughout the department.

There is definite job security. People always need housing. But the work is never ending and there aren't enough people to do it. Expect to work overtime, basically every week. You're paid a salary with yearly raises, but the amount of overtime you put in, almost doesn't make it worth it. There is a lot of favoritism and unfairness. Rules are made, but they don't seem to apply to all. You get decent vacation time, but without adequate coverage, your work just piles up while you're gone. It makes you not really want to take a vacation at all. We had monthly meetings at corporate, which were fun because you got to see everyone. And there was always free food for these meetings. Huge, catered meals. Lots of family members work here. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The hours and the tenants

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the LIES from your UPPER MANAGEMENT !! You receive no help when needed to finish a project. paperwork out the BUTT, one form to cover another, REDUNDANT BS !!! NO BENEFITS & ON CALL 24/7 365 a year.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They're always right & your always wrong. Wait till you have to deal with a Contractor who hasn't been paid for 3 months or asking several times when you will receive your expense check !!!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Listening to Upper Management telling you & the tenants  how they are going to fix up a 45 yr old property, renovation, but after 2-3 yrs of there lies the tenants don't care and you get tired of listening to the tenants complain.

The company's culture is not a place where you will enjoy working or be motivated to stay.  Site employees are not valued.  The pay is so low, it is lower than what the industry was paying back in 2007.  Even with experience, your pay will not be any better.  The corporate management staff is very standoffish.  There are really no opportunities for advancement.  Actually advancement seems to be discouraged, especially for site staff.  The company prefers to hire part-time retirees so they can keep the pay low.  This policy is not in writing, but it is verbalized and practiced routinely. There are no paid days off for part-time staff, even managers.  No paid holidays either for part-time staff.  The only benefit you receive is your paycheck.

Clean the site of trash and debris. Check for requested work orders. Plan out work schedule for the day. Priority of repairs. Repairs include clearing clogged drains, replacing faucets, replacing window blinds, repairing windows, general minor repairs. Schedule contractors for more qualified work. The most enjoyable part of my job was repairing things for tenants and seeing their appreciation.  The hardest part of the job was dealing with difficult management. They would bark out orders and not listen to you if didn't agree with them.

They tell you the hours you should work. They expect you to not make overtime. They expect you to get the job done anyway and if you succeed they add more work. Read between the lines what they are doing. The culture is if a manager kisses up to their manager they can treat people any way they want. If you want to be treated fairly and respectful this is not your place to work. Site managers regularly accept kick backs from contractors and expect PPm maint people to finish and or correct the work. They have family members who do not work for PPM get paid to do jobs and try to force PPM employees to do the work.
