Preferred Apartment Communities

I started off at this company thinking I had found a job I would be able to grow within FINALLY! I loved my coworkers, knew what was expected of me and knew what it took to grow. I made clear my desire to grow. Instead about a year in to my job they started to hire outside people in above our lower level staff including myself which made it feel impossible to ACTUALLY grow like they claimed you could. I was instead made to believe I would move up as discussed with managers and then when I announced my pregnancy everything seemed to shift. Months later I was told I would be getting “laid off” in the midst of a pandemic, due to a property transition. When I asked to go to the other local property who was hiring just before and right after my “lay off” I was told no one was hiring even though job postings were active online. I always went above and beyond at my my job. Never said no when asked to take an extra step. My numbers always reflected my goals.

This company is new in the Property Management world and there are challenges just like any other, BUT, the environment in office is a positive one that focuses on the things we can change instead of the things that are going to drain us. 

The Resident Experience is the #1 priority, with the team member experience being a close #2. You are not just a number and you will be recognized for your achievements. 

Depending on where you are located, upward movement can be easy or very difficult. 

Work with handling resident complaints, property tours for future applicants', lease renewals and watching over property maintenance. 

Management is horrible. GM does no work which has most of the split duties falling on me to complete. 

Residents are overall awesome & I cherish my relationship with them.  Bonuses overall are not too bad. Have yet to hear if we will get a yearly salary increase.

I’ve worked for preferred Apartment communities for 3 years and I love it. It’s like a second family. They treat you well and reward hard work. They really are one of the best places I’ve ever worked. I enjoy coming to work every day and my team always has my back. Corporate does so much for their employees and I appreciate everything they do. 

This job required a lot of patience and enforcing of rules.  I learned how to deal with problems in a calm and professional manner.  I didn't have any problems with the companies management or coworkers.  They were a pleasure to work for and with.  The hardest part of this job was dealing with weather conditions since i was an outdoor lifeguard.  The most enjoyable part of this job was getting to know all of the patrons who attended the pool.

PAC is a great place to work if you are looking for something that has a great work-life balance. Everyone I have come in contact with while working here is willing to help and loves their job. The reason I did not give them 5 stars is because of their recent takeover of Blackstone. They have pushed way too many changes onto their staff in a short period of time. This has caused work life to be stressful.

Working with PAC has been an overall positive experience. I am so grateful I had the chance to work for such amazing people and to help this wonderful company continue to grow. If I am ever given the chance to work for PAC again, I will, without, hesitation do so.
