This is the worst job I have ever had in my life. The manager didn't know anything all I wanted to do was learn different things, certain employees in the company would get away with everything I got into it with the supervisor on my first day cause he yelled at me smh...Then I tryed to ask a question to another employee and he just stopped talking to me like I took his lunch money....It went on for 3 months and nobody wrote him up cause your suppose to communicate with employees....Nobody talked him...And I did brought up the situation what he was doing every one actted stupid like that was the normal thing to do and the supervisor said I dont see a problem.....But they write me up for some stuff.....I hated that f@#king job they make me sick. I dont even want to work maintenance no more cause of this job. It left a bad taste for me. All I wanted to do was work and learn new things but I always got ignored and certain employees would actually wouldn't even walk my way like they would walk backwards!!! Literally walk backwards to avoid looking at me....Smh...But I got wrote up dont waste your time and your life

I was hired as a manager but was given a technician role and underpaid. The manager promised to change my role but never did. The job requires being on call 24/7 for emergencies, which is overwhelming for the pay.

The property has many issues: the trash dumpster is poorly placed and hard to manage, requests for tools or supplies are denied due to "budget issues," yet the leasing office gets upgrades. Residents constantly report problems like plumbing, pests, and security—trespassers enter buildings daily.

For a 98-unit property built in 2022, it’s poorly maintained, with high turnover—4 maintenance staff and 5 assistant managers have left. The community manager doesn’t communicate or work as a team, making the job frustrating and the property unsuccessful. I wouldn’t recommend working here unless management improves.

I’ve been in property management for 8 years. I left a great work environment with another company to come to Nusbaum after I was told by my great friend it was a good company. Lies!   I have only been at this company for a few months and I have to say that this has been the worst experience of my life. I have never been so stressed out and miserable. A typical day at work is being cursed out by residents and management telling you to suck it up. Feeling unsafe constantly. No support, Lack of tools to succeed, Micromanagement, No one to properly train you because no one knows anything. Not enough pay for the day to day stress you will endure from the violent and manipulative residents. Yes, VIOLENT. If you want to keep your sanity and safety. Don’t work here. This company doesn’t care about your mental health or safety. I won’t be here much longer. 

I enjoyed my time with the company in the beginning. However, as time progressed  the work environment became draining and drama filled. I was in the Central Leasing office in VB town center and unfortunately there were too many kinks and it cause a lot of confusion and drama. Management had their favorites and the turn over there was terrible. On top of all the drama, confusion, and stress there was no way for you connect with residents. In the central leasing office it became almost like a call center. once the resident moved in you never spoke to them again. Also the higher ups only praise you if you're one of their favorites. I hate that so many great employees were made to feel inferior just because they didn't fall into the good graces of the higher ups. I would reconsider your employment here. 

The people here are wonderful and kind, many have been here for decades. The company itself is nice enough to work for but things could be better. Pay is on the lower end of the industry and raises aren't great. Benefits are okay. You get 9 days pf vacation including a personal day until you've been there for 5 years when you get another week. You will not be promoted based on merit, if you want to advance you have to advocate for yourself and even then it can be difficult. A lot of people are set in their ways and don't want to hear about new ways to do things, you're expected to just do things the way you're told without questioning anything or suggesting anything different. If you don't mind being more of a follower and have common sense and an ability to learn you will do fine here.

I worked on "tickets"/ work orders submitted by residents for any problems they had in their apartments. On a daily basis I perform plumbing, carpentry, HVAC, tiling/drywall repairs, appliances repairs and replacement. I have developed and honed my repair skills. Management was not the best, there was a lot of miscommunication between Supervisors and Subordinates. The most challenging part of my job was how often a job needed to be completed but we did not have supplies to complete it. I enjoy the work and the residents as well as the people I work with. 

This company should be more supportive of their employees and trust their judgment. In property management you cannot take the "customer is always right" approach. Residents must follow rules. We cannot cater to residents who break rules and feel there are no consequences. Nobody wants turnover and vacancy loss, but continuing to renew people who violate their leases only ends with the good tenants moving out. If regional managers listen to their staff, instead of micromanaging and trying to be the good guy to the residents all the time, then this company would be the best I've ever worked for. But many good employees are leaving right now because they don't feel supported. 

Direct manager would come to work quite often drunk, showed one member of team questionable favoritism and would throw other team members under the bus. Don’t bother going to upper management. If you are not a chosen one, they will lie to you just to placate you. Work load was unbalanced..overwhelming for some while others skated by, even though just as capable as performing at same level. Turnover in accounting department is unreal. Team members are the heart of department while manager walks all over them. Don’t let them fool you about being family. You must first be a chosen one, the others are lied to, walk on and disrespected

I worked at this company for a while, and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. I was given no training, which left me feeling unprepared and unsupported in my role. The management team was very poor at communication and seemed disconnected from the needs of the employees. Whenever I raised a concern, whether it was with the regional manager, VP, or HR, it was simply ignored. It's also concerning that whenever someone writes a negative review, HR only asks for more details, but it should be the other way around. Instead of addressing issues proactively, they seem more focused on deflecting or downplaying them. Overall, it was a frustrating and unhelpful work environment.

Property management was horrible. I felt belittled and I felt I was treated unfairly. The other leasing agent had known the manager since she was a child and the community manager and assistant manager acted highly unprofessional. I also had noticed a repeating pattern of laziness. If a resident had called to speak with one of the managers, I would let them know someone is calling for them and I'd get a response like "I don't feel like dealing with them right now, you do it." or "Tell them I'm busy and I'll call them back later." While they would be doing nothing at all. I do not recommend even trying unless you're family friends with the management.
