Seabreeze Management Company

First couple of months i was really excited and very jazzed up to want to work with Seabreeze and grow. From looking back, i should have seen the red flags in management. For one, i had to basically train myself. Other then providing a vague description of day-to-day tasks. I was usually on my own or talking to technical support. Another things is when you did something wrong or you had a misunderstanding about something, it got pushed aside and basically ignored. So if you made continued mistakes due to lack of communication on managements part then it falls back on you. My manager liked to have "meetings" about communication and working as a team but when it came to actually implementing it. He was found most of the time in his office or leaving early. Always felt like i was bother my manager with things. But also felt like i need to clarify everything due to his lack of communication. My manager always came in after traffic times and before traffic times. Making it very frustrating  for HOA members who wanted to speak with him specifically. Always had to make excuses to Homeowners.  Basically it made my job harder then it should have been. There was no support from my co-workers or management. I  felt very outside looking in. I believe as a whole and probably in different departments Seabreeze might care about its workers but in this experience thats something this manager did not learn or was just to busy kissing up to the higher ups to really care about his workers under him. Good Luck to the next Admin. Hopefully some management training get implemented so these mistakes dont hurt this company further.

Seabreeze was good when it was small, but it grew too quickly and abandoned the culture that made it a great workplace. People are quitting faster than the company can replace them. Many people are trying to perform the duties of multiple people and producing a subpar work product. Departments are constantly behind and clients aren't receiving their deliverables, which makes the managers look bad. The upper management offers little to no support and you only hear from them if someone has made a complaint. They won't back you up if you need help getting something from another department. Some managers are nice and treat their associates really well, but everyone is so stressed out from the extra work. Something needs to change quickly or this whole place is coming down. The company is trying to be big and corporate, but doesn't have the resources to operate as one or pay their employees fairly.

When I first started at Seabreeze in over two years ago, the culture felt very “family-oriented”. You felt the support from the Directors and upper management. Now, it’s obvious that the company is growing way too fast and as a result, every department is overworked and the current staff can not handle all the new accounts. Even the new building does not have enough room to add more support staff. The turnover rate is extremely high due to low support and low pay. Upper management even coined the higher work load as “industry standard” and the extremely low pay as “highly competitive”. After doing a few interviews with other property management companies in the area, you’ll quickly realize that Seabreeze is at the bottom of the list in terms of pay and work balance. Seabreeze is squeezing its employees for as much as they can get out of them until they leave.

I loved my time at Seabreeze. The training provided is unmatched and the time and effort they put into developing their teams is priceless. The company culture is inclusive and supportive. Working for Seabreeze was a pivotal point in building my career and I am so thankful for the opportunities they were willing to provide. HOA management is not a easy line of work, but there are endless situations to learn and grow from. Your schedule will be full and arduous at times but there are many opportunities for flexibility and PTO. If you love working with people and being exposed to so many different lines of work such as real estate, compliance, event planning, construction, finances and so on this is a great industry to get involved in. 

When you first start to work here, they praise you for doing so great. Then they bombard you with a ton of work because other people keep leaving. They stopped giving out pay increases and gave you an option of getting bonuses, however, that's at the discretion of your supervisor. There's also an option to get $50 for a google review, but if you don't communicate with people, you don't get that option of getting a review. So, that works best for the manages, but not regular office behind the scenes employees. Within the office are little cliques. Friends that bring friends from other companies. They move up the ladder in position and pay pretty quickly, while others in the same department get passed by for that promotion. Supervisor shows favoritism towards the ones that brown nose. Not a great environment.

Seabreeze Management was a great place to work. Everyone worked hard and played harder. When working in an HOA company and frequently coming into contact with homeowners, one learns how to be patient, particularly when a homeowner becomes frustuated with any obstacles coming in their way during the reconstruction process of his/her home. Both management and co-workers were excellent team players. The hardest part of the job was delivering bad news to a homeowner when their construction plans for their home was not approved. The most enjoyable part of the job was bringing great news to a homeowner about approval of their building plans.

A typical day involved dynamic interactions with team members, problem-solving, and client communications. I learned valuable skills in project management and effective communication. The leadership was supportive, providing clear guidance and encouragement. The workplace culture was collaborative and inclusive, fostering a sense of belonging and teamwork. The hardest part of the job was managing tight deadlines, but this challenge was mitigated by the strong support system. The most enjoyable part was seeing the positive impact of our work on clients and colleagues alike. Overall, it was a fulfilling experience that contributed significantly to my professional growth.

The company means well, but the moral has changed over the years. It does not feel as inclusive, it's not always easy to find support, it's seems as though everyone is out to get each other. The pay is not terrible but not the best, and they have stopped giving out raises. You are only incentivized by a bonus which is only at the discretion of your direct supervisor. The work load can be really rough. 

Not a horrible place to work but a lot has changed that has made it turn downhill. Would I recommend working here? Yes. But would I say it is a great place to start a career? Not really unless this is something you know you want to advance in. 

They offered either PT or FT (graveyard). I took the PT.  Instant regret. But also maybe I assumed one day I'd get to be working FT with a pay raise. 
Right off the bat more or less I started to cover for coworkers pretty consistently. Showed up on time unless there was something out of my control that would cause me to be a little late.  Ran off of maybe 4-5 hours of sleep even when working normal shifts or even covering whether day shifts or a few graveyards. 

It's an okay "starter" job.  Despite me already having at least 3yrs of exp under my belt. 

You will definitely be stressed, but the perks sometimes outweigh it.
Free concerts
flexibility when you need time off
PTO is great. 

Typical day -  you're bombarded with requests. You need to know what to drop and what to pick up at a moments notice in terms of projects and priorities.

If you plan your day prepare to accomplish only a few items on the list. Focus on activities that will get you brownie points from the client and company rather than mundane tasks.

One of the better companies I've worked for.
