A typical work day on a RAM property leaves you going home at the end of the day feeling a sense of accomplishment. I always felt appreciated for my dedication and effort I put into being a team member with RAM.

I have learned so much from RAM. The "legal eagle" was one of my favorite periods of education. I've always felt that it is vitally important to become knowledgeable of the rights of both the landlord and the tenant. RAM have a fantastic team that organize and host special events like the manager's conferences (which are loads of fun and education all at the same time) and customer service classes for the leasing professionals, as well as AVP's getting involved with their manager's at corporate to assist with annual budgets. I simply loved working for them.

I also had the joy of working with some really terrific people during my tenure. In spite of minor differences we were "family".

The most difficult part of my job was when the economy spiraled sending us into recession. The recession really impacted occupancy, however, due to a winning team with bright smiles and astounding professionalism we bounced back in the most difficult of times with a bang and lots of qualified residents increasing occupancy and maintaining a 95% or above occupancy rate.

The most enjoyable moments with RAM was the RAMMY AWARDS and the Manager's Conference. Oh, how I loved the excitement to see those that worked so hard and diligently get rewarded for their efforts and dedication. The manager's conferences were so full of energy and education, such a wonderful time to become acquainted with people voices you only hear... this was the time to place the face with the voice. And to see the president and vice president interact with us was such a rewarding feeling.

I do not enjoy working here mainly because the property manager has gone through so many other workers it makes my job hard.  I have been basically performing 2 jobs (leasing and assistant manager) since I started.  They have been through 6 maintenance staff, 4 leasing staff and the property manager has trouble keeping her private home problems from reflecting in the office.  The current maintenance staff person has tried to quit recently but they talked him into staying with false promises it will get better.  I see him leaving very soon.  She typically keeps her door shut on most days and prefers not to be interrupted.  It makes for a very stressful and dissatisfying place to work.  The benefits I was told about were totally different once I agreed to work there, My advice do your research.  The best part of the job is our residents!  I love them each and every one.  Although the residents do not get to see how this place is terribly run they all seem to love it here.  It is a beautiful community to live in and centrally located for Oak Ridge, Harriman, Maryville, Loudon areas in which it is the only place decent near there so that is why they tent to stay full at times. 

I currently am commuting 56 miles per day round trip because I was told this company had "so many great opportunities" which was a false promise as well.  I have expressed this to them but to no avail, I am still here running up my mileage.  

I am currently seeking a job closer to home and want to find that place I can call "home" and go home refreshed and feel accomplished not defeated and stressed.....

Working at RAM Partners taught me a lot about the fast-paced world of property management, especially during lease-ups. I preleased over 70% of a brand-new community and managed more than 90 move-ins, often going above and beyond my role to support residents, solve problems, and hit leasing goals.

Unfortunately, the internal culture did not match the level of commitment expected from on-site staff. There was a clear lack of support from upper management, poor communication, and an environment where valid concerns—like unpaid commissions or mental health—were either dismissed or retaliated against. After requesting unpaid commissions and medical leave, I faced retaliation and was locked out of systems while still technically employed.

This experience left me burnt out and disappointed, especially after dedicating so much energy to a successful lease-up. I sincerely hope RAM re-evaluates how it treats its frontline team members, who are the face of the company to every resident and prospect.

What is the best part of working at the company?
As an APM my main responsibilities are rent collection, renewals, inspections, resodent concerns and resident events. It's very rewarding and challenging at the same time. We have a sense of "family community" and we have a lot of fun. We have coworker challenges and competitions that keep us on our toes. On top of competitive wages, we enjoy staff lunches and special outings as a reward for over achievements. I love my job mainly because it's stress free and a bi-annual clothing allowance puts the cherry on top.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The only thing I've encountered that brought about a bit of stress is the fraudulent applicants we deal w on occasion 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This is a family community. We are a melting pot of different races, nationalities, gender, family composition, likes and don't likes but we all get along for the most part.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Most days are pretty busy. But it's fun, energetic and we take time to breathe, vent or just share the things we deal with during the day.

A day as a leasing consultant can be fun, and extremely rewarding. You get to meet tons of new people everyday, and you get a chance to interact with a "melting pot" of people. I've learned quite a bit about managing leases, the art of finding homes for people, and how to market for the properties I have represented. The management team consist of the Property manager, assistant manager, and the leasing consultant. None of us can do our jobs without the other teammates involved. That's the best part of working with RAM Partners! They incorporate the family aspect when it comes to work atmospheres, because managing a property is supposed to be about the PEOPLE, and their satisfactions is more rewarding than paperwork, the sales quotas, etc!! I believe that success comes automatically whenever you put the right team in place, and you put PEOPLE'S values first. The hardest part of the job are the slow days, and all you're doing is filing things, running reports,and anxiously waiting for the next person to come through the office doors.

Working for Ram Partners has been nothing short of amazing. I  have one of the best Area Vice President's and Vice President's at Ram Partner's. I feel empowered and trusted to make decisions for my Property.  At times when I get things wrong, I'm comfortable asking for guidance and not feeling judged.  As a Manager, I have a balanced work and family life because I prioritize my job responsibilities.  I feel that if you work hard ; it doesn't go unnoticed. Ram Partner's does a monthly meeting to recognize many of the employees for their hard work.  They also share and celebrate employees big life events like  marriage, birth, and random accomplishments. The training that is offered is unmatched.  Ram offers training throughout the week that employees can register for, pertaining to various topics. There is always training going on. Many times reviews are from disgruntled employees, so I want to share my personal experience.  If you are looking for a company that is going to encourage, empower, teach and celebrate you, Ram Partner's is perfect for you.  

 Organization has potential and seems to work well in other markets, but mismanagement and favoritism from the top down causes a lot of issues in Nashville region.

 Limited support/resources makes it difficult to do your job, especially in emergency situations . Unreasonable expectations and lack of communication routinely makes the job harder then it should be.  Micro-managememt in the wrong areas often lead to repairs and preventative maintenance being neglected. Staffing shortages, and frequent turnover is common when retention is ignored. Vacation/time-off requests are often denied which can be frustrating with a "use it or lose it" policy (forfeit=>40hrs ).  

Not everything was a negative experience. There is potential for training, certification and advancement opportunities. There are some great people with the company trying to improve day to day operations and processes. Solving problems for tenants can be very rewarding, and uplifting, and I would consider working for the organization again if some of my concerns were resolved beforehand.


As a third party management company,  RAM is limited on the protection they will offer their employees.  Their income is based on keeping the business, not in the best interest of the employee.  Unfortunately,  if you work for an insecure,  micromanager your career could be limited.  You can't go to HR. You'll be told,  "We know she's difficult to work for.  My best advice is to adjust to her or look for something else. " This was told to an employee that had more experience than her actual supervisor that was being extremely unprofessional.  Think your HR conversations are not shared with others?  Negative.  It's all about keeping the owner's happy.  If they are good with their unprofessional,  unrealistic,  untruthful,  micromanager of a supervisor; your chances of success are low. At least in Columbus,  Ga. Hard pass unless you like being micromanaged and agreeing even if it's not the right answer.  If you are intelligent,  self motivated and experienced; you'll likely be viewed as a threat and targeted. Sad but true.

I've worked at multiple properties with RAM and all I can say is some have great company culture while others are secretly up to no good.
All the perks are nice but at the end of the day your team makes a huge difference. I'm very glad during COVID my previous team was a very positive go-getter group with very clear expectations. I was encouraged to ask questions if I didn't understand something and I was encouraged to learn more about the industry. This set me up for a lot of success within the first property I was at. There was a zero drama rule my boss at the time had which made me feel comfortable. We were all on the same page.

Now the property I got transferred to is almost the complete opposite. I don't feel comfortable speaking and I'm constantly needing to talk to HR about things with the lack of consistency. Everyone talks behind each others back it seems ,and I just honestly had to leave for a different position. 

I absolutely love my job!!! I know most people don't say this but I have the chance to find new homes for people which make every day exciting. This position has been a fast paced and exciting position with lots of learning, mastering, and finding new skills that I didn't even know I had. Through organization and hard work I've created a flow to my environment that allows highly productive work while quickly and efficiently being able to switch roles and help the person that has just walked in the door. I've worked hard to find new and creative ways to grow as a manager and professional as well as finding new way to do the same old thing with a little more spice. I feel so lucky that I have been able to work at this position and will be very sad to leave.
