Richdale Apartments

I have been with Richdale for three and a half years and have enjoyed my employment so far. I like that the Company allows each employee to determine how their career will go. If you are dedicated and work hard then you are rewarded. There is opportunity to transition between departments as well as upward. I personally have already worked in three separate departments with the Company. This has allowed me to find a role that I enjoy and thrive in. 

I have developed great communication and problem solving skills with the Company simply because of all the different departments I work with to accomplish my tasks. I love that I am not micro-managed at Richdale as well. I am expected to complete certain tasks but I determine how I get said tasks completed. I have become more knowledgeable within my role because my supervisor is readily available to assist or explain something to me if needed. 

Richdale does a good job maintaining the work/life balance as well. We have company outings to baseball games and opportunities for tickets to various sporting and performing arts events around the City. There are various charitable causes you can participate in with the Company if you would like to.

During the interview process, upper management will not tell you the truth about the property's situation, workload, & how difficult it is to order/receive supplies for the office and maintenance. As a Property Manager, you will not have any control on hiring staff, correcting or making any changes to residents accounts, ordering specific supplies (they order whatever they want), hiring/firing vendors, making property repairs, updating amenities, etc. They expect the Property Manager to lease Full-Time, no excuses. They will certainly under staff the office to save money on temps or hiring full-time. Please DO NOT work for Richdale. They are extremely unprofessional and will leave you in disbelief. The revenue manager will not even let you speak during team meetings and will be rude. They will back him up regardless. I thought I joined a decent company at first but little did I know this company is outdated in every aspect, so unprofessional, and not worth the headache. You will not be working with anyone presentable or professional. They hire individuals that do not care about their appearance or mannerisms. Finally, you have to clock-in and out and they expect you to be there 30 mins, early. So forget about flexibility. 

You work in a very fast paced enviorment where you work independently but also interact with your co-workers to get your work done in a timely manner. Your co-workers are always helpful and willing to answer your question and throw ideas out there to see if you can do things more efficiently. Management is there to help you when you have issues that need addressed other than that they leave you alone and let you do your job.  The hardest part of the job is keeping up with your workload but that's what your co-workers are there to help with when you need it. The most enjoyable part is being rewarded with team outings to baseball games or having barbeques during football season to being recognized for your anniversary or birthday with a treat. Also they give out tickets for you and another person to go to football, hockey, baseball games and even symphony tickets its great that they share their tickets with employees.

I worked with this company for a month only. At first i was so excited to be back in Real Estate Business but unfortunately the company structure is way too different with my previous job in Real Estate that i worked with. The Accounting Dept is in disarray that is why people are leaving and they always hire new people which in the end would also quit their job.

I believe they don't want to change the old ways in developing new workflow in order to hasten the daily transaction specially in AP. I like the flexibility they offered but i don't like the people not responding to emails which is vital in the organization. In fact i was frustrated with the organization, if they want a fast and prompt in resolving issues, emails should never taken for granted.

Richdale and Gibraltar are under the same umbrella, The Slosburg Co. The company is a stab your co-workers in the back to rise mentality. IF you decide to take a position here be on your toes and watch your back. Its been a few years now since I worked with them so I can fairly give a realistic review. If anyone in the upper management makes a mistake they will blame it on ANYONE else to avoid backlash from the Slosburgs who are micro managing every aspect of the company. They know they have a poor record and do everything possible to cover it up. Look them up on GlassDoor and see the FAKE reviews they post in a row daily to raise their rating. If you dont believe me, accept a position with them and see for yourself.

Richdale is great if you are just starting out in leasing or even want to get into real estate because you learn about fair housing! The office culture is great! The biggest complaint is that we are open SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. As a leasing agent you are REQUIRED to work one weekend day every single week. Not having a weekend ever leaves you feeling burnt out and feel resentment for your job. Especially if you are assigned the Sunday shift, you are the only one in the office and cannot request off because they will have to close the office and they won’t do that. Which really sucks because it is such a great place! If you  never ever want to have a weekend then apply! 

Good company overall! My team is great and people (who are not in my department) are always willing to help out. Work culture is more reserved & quiet. My manager is awesome at giving grace when I occasionally make a mistake. My job responsibilities have clear expectations. Most of the fun events/contests/challenges that normally occur at our Corporate office have been suspended to do COVID-19.

As they were  adjusting to COVID-19, I believe they could have improved on their overall communication to the company. There have been no company-wide announcements notifying us of how they're handling the pandemic.

I have worked for Richdale for two years. I started as a part-time leasing agent and have worked my way into an assistant manager position. I work very hard, and my general and regional managers recognized and rewarded me for it. I have learned several skills, but the most important is conflict resolution. I have also developed skills in sales, have learned how to file, improved my conversation skills, etc. The hardest part of the job is the hours. You work from 9-6 which can be difficult at times, but it isn't bad. The most enjoyable part is meeting all kinds of unique people and building quality relationships with other associates. 

I have been with Richdale for roughly 4 years, and have felt that the company has helped me, as an individual, grow in my career. The teams I engage with on a daily basis, both within and outside my department, have been unique and very enjoyable to work with. Over the years I have observed various parts of the company grow and develop. This has made opportunities available to impact the company through feedback and hands on participation in the evolution of various processes and policies. Working hard and thinking critically has helped me define my place within Richdale and the company has embraced me for it. I feel that other employees who have been actively constructive within the company, share the same sentiment.

High turnover rate and there is a reason for it, they are terribly managed, and what management there is they will micro manage you.
They expect you to do everything without any support then get angry when it's not done, even after you tell them you need help.
They don't pay commissions, so prepare yourself for that, the properties are falling apart, there is crime issues that they don't address, they have pest control problems, so prepare yourself for quite an uphill battle because they will not pay you enough for the trash they expect you do.
ps: regionals and owners are extremely rude and out of touch
