Although I haven’t been at the company for a long time, I can say that the pros and cons are glaringly obvious.

The pros are the coworkers that you have on-site or at your level. There is a great level of support from the bottom of the corporate ladder. I can confidently say that the most I’ve learned while being here has been taught to me through other community managers, definitely not through the training. Granted, a majority of what you learn in this field is learned on the go, but having other Community Managers ready to help is encouraging, and it really makes you feel like you’re on the same team. Another great aspect is being able to work with your client on a personal level. You’re able to take ownership of the asset and take pride in everything you’re doing! 

The cons are a bit more extensive. While there is amazing support from people at your level or below you, the support from Regional Manager and above is essentially nonexistent. Some Community Managers do have great relationships with their Regional, but others - including myself - feel as though the support is severely lacking, and there is not enough attention shown to particular properties. On more than one occasion, a team member has stated to me that we are “all on our own” due to failure of follow up by our upper management (not just regional managers, but regional maintenance supervisors and anyone above the on-site teams). Another con is the deadlines. I understand it is important to report on time, but with the nature of this job, the likelihood of getting all reports in on time is small without the proper support at specific levels. You are penalized when you do not get reports in on time, the bonus that is SUPPOSED to be received quarterly, which we still have not received, is effected by reporting times.

A typical day at work is basically running around like a crazy person until the day is done; you’ll never really feel as though you accomplished anything even if you had a productive day. I’ve learned that the best way to get through it is to keep your head down and just do everything you can in the hours you have in the day. 

Long story short: if you’re upper management, you’re benefitting greatly and you should be thankful you’re in that spot. Anyone who is not at a mid-high corporate level, best of luck to you. You get out of the job what you put into it, and if you’re looking for a place to climb to the top through socializing and networking rather than hard work in your assigned role, then this is the company for you. 

Work here was like a high school clique- only you're on the outside. I can't express in words just how poor management is. Community directors starting gossip, sleeping with lower level employees, making false accusations, etc. There is absolutely NO training; they just throw you in. I had a few fantastic coworkers that truly cared, but we were all criticized on the regular (desire our conversion rates being amazing) and made to feel we were of no value. This job takes an extreme toll on my mental health, and I know my coworkers would agree. RangeWater is based out of Atlanta and I hear the Atlanta properties are great, but for the properties in Virginia....it seems like they don't have any idea what's going on here. It is a sh-t show, and none of the employees I know at my property are happy. Corporate might as well be an illusion. It's a very high pressure/high stress environment, and while they might pay more than some places, the don't pay near enough for what they ask of you (working overtime regularly because its necessary to complete what is expected, then being scolded for having overtime (?), working nearly every weekend, zero training and an expectation to know things that were never explained to you). I've never worked somewhere where my boss personally insulted me (and not even for work performance related issues), and was stunned when this behavior was permitted. That is the culture of RangeWater though- it's all about appearances, and they don't care what goes on behind the scenes or how their employees are treated. The turnover rate is very high, as I'm sure you might guess, which should be of no surprise two them since they don't seem to value their employees in the slightest. They give leasing "incentives," but then when you meet or surpass those goals, the prizes they promised are never given to you. They like to play the blame game, and it seems to always trickle down the ladder to lower level employees.

Unless you're working at a community in the Atlanta area, I would stay far away from RangeWater.

My time working at RangeWater Real Estate has unfortunately been a profoundly disappointing and frustrating experience. Despite the company's claims and reputation in the industry, the reality of working there has left much to be desired. From poor management practices to a lack of transparency and a disregard for employee well-being, RangeWater Real Estate falls short as a desirable workplace.

One of the most glaring issues at RangeWater Real Estate is the lack of effective leadership and management. The management team seems disconnected from the day-to-day operations and fails to provide clear guidance or support to their subordinates. Important decisions are often made without proper consultation or communication, leading to confusion and frustration among employees. The lack of direction and guidance hampers productivity and stifles creativity, making it difficult to achieve success or progress in one's role.

Transparency is another critical aspect where RangeWater Real Estate fails miserably. Important information and updates are often withheld from employees, leading to a sense of being left in the dark. This lack of transparency creates an atmosphere of mistrust and frustration, as employees struggle to understand the company's direction or how their individual contributions fit into the bigger picture. The absence of open and honest communication hinders collaboration and fosters a toxic work environment.

In conclusion, working at RangeWater Real Estate has been an incredibly disheartening experience. The lack of effective leadership, transparency, and consideration for employee well-being makes it a subpar workplace. The absence of clear communication and support systems creates an atmosphere of frustration and disillusionment. Sadly, RangeWater Real Estate falls far short of being a company that values its employees or fosters a positive and engaging work environment.

A typical day at work here highly depends on where you are. Some properties are more-so office like work and in depth customer relations, others are absolute circuses. SHOP the property you wish to be placed at, and look at their reviews. Management, also highly dependent on where you are. Culture on a corporate level was something admirable. But please, practice caution. Understand that this company is rapidly expanding, and the place of which you live may not be one of their most culture rich areas. The hardest part of this job is definitely the expectation of going above and beyond with every interaction when that is not done unto you. I found that pretending you do not need support, or trouble-shooting, is the route taken and encouraged. This is saddening for those who are "problem-solvers" with their residents, prospects, company, and community's genuine interest at heart. Prepare yourself for being "thrown in" with zero knowledge and management with either disinterest in you, or no time to train you. I would suggest this career to get your foot in the door, but please be advised that you may not grow, the money may not be what you thought it would be, and you may end up being another number when you were promised you wouldn't. Understand that you may be treated the same as you were with larger companies in banking or retail.

I didn’t even really get the chance to work for them.. My property switched to Matrix, which I originally thought was a good idea. We were looking for a new leasing Consultant at the time since I was the only one. We weren’t supposed to hire anyone for a while but Matrix decided to send someone in who had worked with them and needed to be “trained” by me. They came in, I trained them for about a week, and then I was fired. The reason for being fired was that I “failed a shop”.. I had been shopped many times (and I could always tell when I was) but never failed. Also, whenever I was shopped, someone from management would give you the a review of how the shopper rated you and you HAD to sign it. Somehow, I was “shopped” over the phone and in person and I “failed”. When I asked if I could have the review form, I was told that they didn’t have it and they had to email someone from higher up to get it.... Never got it. The person I trained took my place.. it wasn’t until I went home and explained the situation to my family that I realized that the reason there was no proof of the shop was because it didn’t actually happen and the “sent in” someone to be “trained” when really I was training my replacement... 

I loved my property manager and assistant manager and the residents.. I loved my job. And even though I’ve struggled to find another job in the apartment business, I still would rather be jobless than work for a snakey company. Hope they change the way they handle business in the future.

I had a positive experience with RangeWater Real Estate and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professionally managed community. Their team was responsive from the initial inquiry through move-in, answering questions clearly and following up when needed. The leasing process felt organized and transparent, with fair pricing and straightforward terms. Maintenance requests were handled promptly, and technicians were courteous and respectful of my time and space. The property itself was well maintained, clean, and thoughtfully designed, which made daily living comfortable. Communication from management was consistent, whether about community updates, policies, or events. While no company is perfect, RangeWater showed a genuine effort to listen to residents and resolve concerns efficiently. Overall, they deliver reliable service, strong property upkeep, and a resident-focused approach that makes a noticeable difference in day-to-day living. I appreciate their professionalism, accountability, and commitment to creating welcoming communities for residents across diverse markets nationwide.

I have experienced first hand the treatment of a pawn on a chess board by Rangewater. It became an issue that the company is cynical of the needs of staff to accomplish challenging objectives. Also having received an offer from another company for a substantial increase in compensation, I was told by direct manager that I would receive a similar compensation package to stay with company. After several months I had to contact corporate management about my compensation issue. The resolution was a meager raise in rate of dollars per hour that was later offset by the company with a large increase of employee pay for similar benefits. A net increase of nothing. This company also bids for management contracts and wins with a low bid based on under staffing the front office and maintenance staff creating a stressful work environment with a poor work life balance.

Completely AWFUL place to work for!! If you're looking to work at a place where they only care about appearances, no communication, no training but high expectations,  want to work every weekend, be stressed so badly you're on the verge of tears and a mental breakdown EVERYDAY, corporate having NO idea whats going on with properties who aren't located in Georgia, being short staffed most of the time because of the high turn over rate, etc. Then this is the place for you! If you care about your mental health at all PLEASE STEER CLEAR!!!! This is one bridge I will burn to the ground and not care about! This company has made me hate this industry! An industry I've been in since I started working shortly out of high school, used to love and all that I've known for close to 15 years. That should say a lot about RangeWater Real Estate and all of their practices. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE place to work! I repeat....DON'T DO IT!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Rangewater pay is typically better than its closest property management competitors. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE! Although pay is reasonably better than most, YOU WILL WORK FOR IT! You will be stressed out with multiple jobs, no standards or SOP for anything and have very little support 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This company has a very image conscious culture that is all smoke and mirrors and nothing genuine. The work environment is very robotic and programmed. The company has extreme unrealistic expectations yet no standards of operation. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and unorganized. Lots of disingenuous formality and unrealistic expectations. From management and investors to customers and residents.
