Red Tail

My journey with Red Tail Residential and Trinity Property has been nothing short of incredible. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to grow not just in my career, but also in confidence, leadership, and understanding of the industry.

I started my career in our corporate office on the construction side, where I learned the importance of strong foundations—both literally and figuratively. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work that goes into building and maintaining great communities.

From there, I transitioned into the Accounts Payable department. It was a big shift, but an important one. I developed a strong attention to detail, learned the ins and outs of financial operations, and gained a clearer picture of how each piece of the business connects. It was during this time that I really began to understand the operational side of our company.

Eventually, I moved into Operations within the property management division, where I currently serve. This role has allowed me to bring together everything I’ve learned—processes, people, systems, and strategy. Every day is different, and every challenge is a chance to grow. It’s fast-paced, demanding, and rewarding all at once.

What has truly made this experience so fulfilling is the leadership and mentorship I’ve received along the way. I’ve had the privilege of working with leaders who genuinely care, who take the time to teach, support, and encourage. Their guidance has made my responsibilities not only manageable but meaningful. Because of them, I’ve been able to step into new roles with confidence, knowing I had the support to succeed.

I'm incredibly grateful for the culture of growth, learning, and support that Red Tail Residential and Trinity Property provide. I look forward to continuing this journey, contributing in new ways, and helping others grow just as I’ve been able to.

Working at Red Tail Residential has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I started as a Community Manager and, through the support and encouragement of the leadership team, I moved into an Area Manager role and eventually became a Regional Manager. I’ve also had the chance to work in multiple states, which helped me grow both personally and professionally.

Throughout my journey, I’ve always felt supported. Leadership takes the time to invest in your development. Anytime I’ve faced challenges, I’ve had the guidance and resources I needed to work through them. The corporate team has been incredibly helpful, providing feedback that’s actually useful and making sure I have what I need to succeed in my role.
One of the things I appreciate most is the teamwork across the company. Whether it’s onsite or at the corporate level, everyone works together toward common goals, and that kind of environment makes a big difference in how you feel coming to work every day.

I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given here, and I feel proud to be part of a company that genuinely values its people. I’ve grown so much since I started, and I’m excited to continue building my career with Red Tail Residential.

Senior leaders are not tuned into the operations or processes in the organization. Very disengaged and unavailable. Impossible expectations. Senior leadership is not aware of the hard-work preformed by the on-site teams.  Poorly ran and managed, but has potential to be a decent place to work. Lots of staff turn over. The company needs to learn a lot about how to treat employees. Residents always complain about significant rate increases. No training department to assist with training new employees.  On-site team members are not trustworthy and gossip. Hourly pay rates are low.  The moto is, how can we do it cheaper. Communications are childish and unprofessionally written. Very short responses and often they don’t make sense.  The culture is nonexistent.  No means of escalations, no Human Resources department. Lots of turnover with coworkers. Often times pay checks are late or delayed by a month or longer. Unfair holiday pay and sick time. No work life balance. No uniforms, no cell phone allowance but yet we are required to communicate with the office team. No mileage reimbursement, but yet we are required to commute to sister properties for tours and work orders.  Lots of changes weekly, no consistency. 

Consider Other Opportunities Before Applying
During my time with the company, I found the experience to be disappointing overall. Compensation is minimal, especially considering the expectation to regularly take on responsibilities outside of one’s job description in the name of being a “team player.” Unfortunately, hard work and dedication often go unrecognized.
Interactions with upper management were particularly discouraging. There was little effort to build rapport with employees—visits from leadership felt impersonal, and feedback tended to focus on criticism rather than support or guidance, even in situations where training was insufficient or the issue was outside of an employee's control.
High turnover was another red flag, with very few employees having more than a year of tenure. This, combined with the difficulty of securing time off and a lack of transparency around scheduling decisions, contributed to a frustrating and demoralizing work environment.
I would advise potential applicants to carefully consider these factors before pursuing a position with the company.


The Minnesota Red Tail team is very tight-knit with daily communication and support of one another. Whenever someone needs help, there WILL be someone else to help.

Property management provides you with something new everyday (for better or worse). With the right attitude, that’s a positive, but it can also be overwhelming at times. But that’s just the industry in general.

There is ample room for growth as the portfolio and industry grows. Huge plus! You also develop a strong work ethic and your skills are forcibly refined by the variety of your daily work.

Only 2 downsides in my opinion:

1. Some communications from the site level up to the C-level feels “pushed aside” which can make the job much more difficult, frustrating, and seeking unrealistic results.

2. Hard work is rewarded with more work. It becomes a hamster wheel which can burn people out if not properly managed.

All-in-all Red Tail is a solid company to work for if you have the right team & leaders. Growth can happen fast which provides opportunity. Multifamily housing is a behemoth of an industry, so no matter where you work you will face those everyday turmoils.

Working at Red Tail Residential has been an incredible experience. From the very start, I was impressed by the company's culture and the team dynamic. Everyone works seamlessly together, constantly supporting one another to achieve success. Whether you're facing a challenge or celebrating a win, the team is always there to back you up.
I was proud to be part of the Minnesota Region team from 2023–2026, which made my experience even more meaningful and allowed me to grow alongside an exceptional group of professionals.
A standout aspect of my time here has been the leadership. My regional manager was consistently available and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. It’s rare to find a company where management is so approachable and genuinely invested in the success of their employees.
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a dedicated and professional team. Red Tail Residential is, without a doubt, the best company I’ve ever worked for. The supportive work environment and excellent leadership make it a truly unique place to grow and succeed.

Redtail empowers team members to be their best.  I have had the pleasure of seeing a lot of associates being promoted from within.  If you want growth and are good at what you do, the possibilities are endless.  We have a lot of long-term employees (14++ years) that started as a leasing agent and today are Regional Managers or Vice Presidents.  Redtail is owner managed.  I worked fee management for 17 years and I had no idea what the meaning of life balance was... until I joined Red Tail Residential.  I love this company, and they empower me to be successful!  We just promoted 3 Area Managers to Regional Managers...  This is why I love this company.  We promote from within and have multiple departments that gives lots of opportunities for everyone's future goals and aspirations. 

This has been one of the worst positions, if not the worst position I’ve held. There is no training and no communication from your supervisor, very vindictive upper management. I had no Maintenance for over two months and had to ask my vendors to do work orders.

I was placed at a brand new take over and given the keys to do the job after day 2, no training or communication was provided. Fortunately, I have two decades of experience and knew what a property manager role entails. 

Also, they do not pay you out your two weeks. If you give your two weeks notice, the day you give your notice is your last day.

Their systems and processes are lacking. One task that should take you two minutes, will take you a significant amount of long time.

 I had a lot of hopes when I accepted this position and left a real good job for this. Trust the reviews here, this is not a good company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Free health insurance is helpful. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Pay errors and delays. 
Inexperienced upper management 
Unrealistic expectations for aging properties.  
Little to no true support for people with disabilities. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, no true support from office staff. Lots of finger pointing no effert for team work. 
Unrealistic expectations and poor communication. I dreaded going in, I always felt attacked in emails and under appreciated  no matter what I did. Having had a busy work load a couple missed appointments canceled out all my work and just like that. I was  done. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unappreciated and a frustrating lack a good communication.

I only had a few months of experience in leasing when I was hired, but I had the best property manager and regional when starting out and I learned so much. I truly loved coming to work and caring for my residents and as time goes on I started picking up more tasks in hopes of becoming an assistant property manager. 

Things went down hill when new management took over and I was replaced. However , I’m thankful for the opportunity I had but I would never work for this company again. Higher ups have high expectations but yet no proper training  or support was provided, You will get blamed for every and any little thing that was out of your control.
