Sunridge-Management-Group

While working for another company in West Texas I ran into SunRidge Management and was very impressed with the culture that office built. Due to other issues I changed positions and moved to work for SunRidge Management. My responsibilities were those of a standard property manager: marketing reports, management of unit turns, REAC inspection list, etc. While the upper culture was still as I remembered it (i.e. VP level and up) my direct manager had a different culture in mind. A few personnel suggestions were made which I followed, but disagreed with. My background is in special servicing and foreclosures (requiring an 18 month or shorter timeframe for all improvements) so my REAC inspection checklist started with the most important items first and worked the way down to level one items. I was informed by the regional that this was incorrect by this person's standards. Between managing to visit over 20 businesses per week in a town of less than 10,000 people and being told that I was not wanted because "I had to be hired from out of state" I was forced to resign due to hostile work environment. Overall SunRidge is not a poor place to work. I believe that it was a poor fit for me due to my background in a much more professional and service oriented environment rather than a dollar figure environment as my clients have always been a third party financial institution interested in providing a quality housing option as compared to the client who owned the property I worked at which is a predominant owner/managing partner of Sunridge Management.

The management company as a whole does not care about the residents or the employees. They won’t give the Property Manager enough power to actually do anything, so things can never get done. They have unachievable expectations for their employees. The assistant manager was staying after hours unpaid almost every day to finish loads and loads of paperwork. Upper management doesn’t want to dish out money to get things properly fixed. One resident went over a week without air during the summer because they didn’t want to pay for an actually A’c company to come out and fix it. It puts everyone in the office (managers and staff) in a terrible position. Tenants are always upset with them even though their own hands are tied. Their maintance staff is way over worked as well. They’ll have at least 10 work orders a day and only two maintance men trying to run around to get everything fixed all while trying to make sure apartments are ready for move in.  I will say they do pay you well in hopes that you’ll stick around just for the money. The poor property is falling apart, and no one in upper management will get anything done. 

A typical day of work began by keeping a clean friendly inviting leasing office for all potential renters and residents. Attract new residents to help increase occupancy. Plan with organization daily duties such as resident retention, follow up with residents request and prospects, complete lease agreements, walk property daily for a good presentation. Assist daily property manager in all daily situations involving residents or employees.What I learned is to never complaint, communicate well, help others in a respectful and professional way to accomplish daily goals. I could not have asked for a better management team who is recognize consistantly for the hard work and to be part of the team. My co-workers were part of my daily life and work very hard to meet company expectations. Could not have done it with out them! The hardest part of this job was to maintain high occupancy. The most enjoyable part of this job was helping people find their future home. Been part of people’s life.

Hardest part of the Job is being told you are not doing your job although you are causing you to get a write up for no reason. Also upper management does not listen to all employees concerns. Office management is argumentive. Upper management will not listen to anyones concerns besides the office management.  They allow employees to be belittled and degraded by the office management. Office management created a 
very toxic and hostile enviroment would yell and be very disrespectful towards employees and residents. When upper management was contacted we were told to respect the chain of command. Office management will constantly retaliate with a harsh attitude anytime you try to report to upper management. They do not value their employees hard work.  Most enjoyable part of the job was there is plenty of pto, sick days and the work is actually enjoyable just management was very poor. Also you do get a small commission every month.

The company itself was fine when it came to coworkers. The people were delightful, but you could tell literally everyone was there for a paycheck and nothing else. None of them enjoy their jobs.. except maybe the higher management. 

Most of the staff is sat in these grey cubicles. lighting sucks & the building they're in is solid concrete. So don't expect to be able to receive phone calls or anything like that. 

Building felt like a prison honestly. You have to work there for 6 months before you even get any of the benefits. That's extremely long in my book. Max 90 days in my opinion.

The company is very family oriented... so don't expect quick upward growth. There really isn't any opportunity for growth. 

And they don't cherish their younger employees, it's more of a "do what I say, when I say" kinda mentality. Literally once of the managers was walking around saying "I hate young people. They're so entitled." as she stormed around the office.

Do not work for Sunridge! There was absolutely no job security. They tell you one thing then say another. When I got interviewed we were talking about the wage I would be receiving then when it came down to filling out paperwork they decreased the pay. They also said it was full time then once the lease up was complete they made me part time which I never would have even taken if it was only full time temporarily. Not to mention that they would take away commisisons!!! Commissions that were worked very hard for. They do not care for you. You’re just a number to them. Several of employees were treated terribly by the regional manager. He would always yell at employees badly and send very rude emails. There were no resident events either. If it costs the company any kind of money it was an automatic no. For the residents nor for the employees. They wouldn’t even allow employees to drink their bottles of water because the regional said not to!!! They set you up for failure from the very beginning.

I worked at a property for several years before "Sunridge" took over management. They so micromanage their staff it's terrible terrible environment! The sad thing is that all of the properties in the portfolio were doing great, residents were happy and employees were happy. Not now. apartmentratings.com speaks loud and clear on how Residents are taken care of now. Its very very sad  
They make new employees sign an agreement that if you leave before a certain time you have to pay them back for your new hire costs. They pay 25 cents a mile with gas at $3.50? Are you kidding? Your better off claiming milage with IRS. It pays twice that. 
I hate to really fight to get my saved up vacation time. I loved the property were I worked, loved the Residents there and took my job to heart. I know the staff is unhappy at every single property they manage
I'm sick of these huge companies coming in and destroying what has been so great for residents. employees and owners.

I work for the Abode Red Rock property in Las Vegas. Our whole staff (in house) vibes well with each other and everyone's willing to help. By far the best manager I've had in years. I work full time (40 hr wks) and receive great benefits. Feel my hourly pay doesn't match the amount of work I do lol but hopefully a raise is in the near future 🤞 but hourly pay in my position isn't all that bad either. We are a new property so we run into some post construction issues but maintenance try to take care of issues immediately. I'd like to say the staff and residents maintain awesome hospitality relationships, although we can't always please everyone, for the most part we try hard as staff to help our residents out to our best ability (work orders, clean property and addressing resident concerns). Over all I enjoy coming to work here.

I love my in office coworkers and my regional manager, but corporate is absolutely terrible. They raise prices sky high so residents won’t renew, and then give us unrealistic goals of getting new residents in. No one wants to pay the ridiculous prices that the apartments cost! Maintenance budget is a joke and we go way over budget every month, yet we still have so much that needs to get fixed. HR infringes on labor laws daily. Expectations are way too high for compensation. Seriously, lease commission is $50 and renewal commission is $40 which is then split 3 ways between various staff. Run as far as you can from this company. The only reason I have stayed this long is because my in-office coworkers are awesome. We bond over how awful upper management is.

I have been in property management for over 20 years.  I must say this is by far the worst company you can work for. The employee turnover ratio is something that the president of the company should take a closer look at.  Sunridge spends all the time and effort of creating a employee handbook to go by, and the VP of the company does not follow the handbook.  In the handbook.  The handbook states commissions will be paid to date of termination.  I know other staffs received their commission when they resigned.  I verified with the former employees.  I did not receive my commissions, and no explanation was provided. Commissions are not the  only reason I would not work for this company, no morals from the VP.  That's were it starts.
