Redstone Residential

Redstone Residential is a great company to have on your resume but not a great company to work for. 

The company mission statement is based off of integrity, I can't say as much for the employees or the executives. 

Your work day starts before you get into the office and ends when you fall asleep- beware though you might be woken up with a phone call in the middle of the night calling you into the office or to work from home. You won't be compensated for being there at two in the morning or have less hours the next day because you are on salary. Forget about taking a lunch break. You will not get a break at all during the day. If by chance you close your office down to have a lunch break you are on the short list of people to cut from the Redstone Team.

Throughout time you will receive exceptional training, but when first starting in any position you kind of make it up as you go and hope you don't get fired. Redstone employees are constantly in fear of being fired. 

The most enjoyable part of the job is the Redstone family. Anyone working for Redstone will always have your back-until you no longer work there. Any friends you thought you had are gone and gossip spreads like wildfire throughout the company.

Management is iffy. Some management is good, most is wretched. The most important thing you need to do is document everything. Have all your emails backed up to a personal email account. Any promise given (even by executives) get in writing, no matter what. Refuse to move forward until you have everything in writing. 

The hardest part of the job is that you will pour your heart and soul into a company that you believe in and want to see grow, but at the end of the day you are expendable and they do not take care of their relations.

I find Redstone to be a promising up-and-coming property management company. Due to the potential company growth, there's a lot of opportunity for advancement. The culture is very much "here you go, figure it out, but don't be afraid to ask questions." That's not to say there's no training--the company is actively improving training systems, but there's an expectation and demand for outspoken, innovative thinkers. This type of culture has proved invaluable for my personal education and career growth, as well as made me more proactive at work and in other areas of my life.

The management team is genuinely concerned for the well-being of employees, but they do expect high-value performance, which may mean longer hours for some. Overall, a good company for those looking to refine career skills and have the vision/work ethic to contribute to fast-paced growth at a smaller, up-and-coming company in the real estate industry.

This company is very focused on revenue, even at the expense of its customers. Management receives bonus compensation for selling all of its leases, and we were encouraged to get leases signed no matter what. This often resulted in very pushy sales techniques that weren’t always completely above-board. When problems arose on our property we were told to do whatever we could to minimize expenses. One situation involved forcing residents to find “temporary” accommodations while repairs were done on their apartment, even though management had no intention of making said repairs until they “got a lower quote”. Months went by with almost no progress on the apartment, but residents were still forced to pay rent each month, with a measly $100 off for the ‘inconvenience’. Working for this company was an extremely unpleasant experience that left me feeling scummy and outraged for all the poor residents we were not permitted to be honest with.

It was a great start but quickly became apparent that district managers and upper management in general is very neglectful and unsupportive. They are also very cliquey and want nothing to do with the “low man” on the totem pole. Pay was unsatisfactory and I did so much for this company that it’s sickening how little they cared. For example: at a property of nearly 200 units I was the only employee onsite regularly as the traveling community manager they had placed with me consistently went off gallivanting around with those at headquarters for employee culture events and personal time. It even got to the point that I put in notice for upcoming PTO well in advance and the day I was to leave they tried to cancel it because neither the traveling community manager nor the director of lease up (who was in charge of helping the property out as we were under staffed and about to sell) were willing to put in any actual work. 

When I interviewed for my promotion, they said that the company was not static and was constantly changing and evolving, and that it attracts a certain personality type that loves change. They weren't kidding! It has been a great experience. I went from being a Community Manager to managing a handful of communities, to a Regional. Each step has stretched me a lot - managing multiple sites, then taking on the reporting and relationship requirements and challenges of working directly with Redstone clients and / or asset managers. The best part of this job is interfacing with my teams - it's amazing to lead so many great people at the site level. Transitions, due diligence and some of the other less common tasks have been really rewarding and give me more insight into the deal side of the company. The culture is tight knit - I'm impressed with the tenure and lack of turnover at home base - we are bought in here and witnessing the growth each year.

I had a property manager make a deal with me that i didnt know was illegal. but they needed help right away so i began working before i was in the system and i kept track of all my hours, breaks, etc. She was supposed to add "chunks" of time to my check. I did not know she was going to add as little as 20-30 minutes PER WEEK to chip away at the 125 hours i was owed...So when i didnt see my time card looking any different i brought it up to Corporate, said i did not want to get her in trouble just want what is owed to me. She then claims they wanted me to sign a "bonus form" to pay me back, but its not a bonus so i refused. She tried this 3 times before they finally just issued me a check for the total amount. Everything went back to normal until about a month later i was terminated for "not being a proper fit to the team anymore." Then they denied me from receiving unemployment.

The phrase value-add is the only thing that will end up mattering to upper management/ownership. You, your property, your staff, your tenants, all just numbers on a bottom line. Greed and growth are synonymous here.

It's as toxic an environment as imaginable, with no one really interested in making it a better place to work. Growth is the only thing that matters, and it's done at the expense of the work-life balance and mental health of the corporate office. This then trickles down into the sites. 

This is to say nothing of the thousands of reviews of actual tenants of on-site staff. Stay away, and if you're here, run far and run fast.



They will overwork you and underpay you. I absolutely loved the property I was working for, but after seeing how little I was valued by my Regional manager I decided to quit. I put my heart and soul into my job, frequently working over 10 hours a day. I loved the property and enjoyed building relationships with my residents. However, when I truly needed my supervisor's support, I was shown no regard. I was appalled by how I was treated and how corporate didn't bat an eye regarding the situation, despite having worked so hard at meeting the 100% occupancy goal. Additionally, employees and even regionals will refuse to wear masks despite them being "an enforced and required policy".
Also, the nepotism is real here. 

Redstone Residential is quick to push high expectations but slow to provide real support. I was constantly overworked, covering responsibilities far beyond my role without additional compensation or appreciation. Even worse, I was terminated based on unproven accusations with zero documentation or opportunity to defend myself. Other employees who violated clear policies faced no consequences, showing obvious favoritism and inconsistent standards. The stress level is high, the leadership lacks transparency, and the work-life balance is non-existent. I would not recommend working here unless you’re okay with being overworked and treated unfairly.

I have worked for Redstone for 9 years and over the years I have learned they are more of a family than co-workers. They are a supportive tribe that cares about all workers and always looking for ways to improve and grow. The changes I have seen in the company since COVID have been off the charts. They didn't put their heads down and tuck their tails. They lifted heads up, pulled shoulders back and walked tall. The leaders of the company did all they could to make sure no one lost a job or pay. COVID was a huge year of growth and opening Redstone's eyes to how big and far they can go. They stay the course and don't shy away from work. I am proud to be apart of this team through thick and thin I stand with Redstone.
