TGM Communities

While I truly enjoyed working with my colleagues, the experience with management in my office was extremely challenging. The environment was highly micromanaged, with little room for autonomy or trust. Constructive feedback was rare—criticism was constant and often unproductive.

Work-life balance was virtually nonexistent. Employees were routinely expected to overextend themselves, and only four holidays were observed annually, making it difficult to spend meaningful time with family.

From a resident services perspective, the priorities seemed misaligned. Maintenance issues such as broken air conditioning, heating problems, and persistent leaks were left unresolved, yet rent increases of $150–$300 upon renewal were common. This put staff in a tough position, often having to defend policies they didn’t agree with or couldn’t control.

Speaking up was discouraged. When concerns were raised, the response from management was often emotionally manipulative—deflecting responsibility and shifting blame. Resident complaints, even when unfounded, were too readily believed over the word of the staff.

Operational decisions lacked consistency; policies were enforced selectively based on convenience rather than fairness or principle. As a result, many rental opportunities were lost unnecessarily.

If you're looking for a role with growth potential, supportive leadership, or healthy boundaries, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. This position demands a great deal with little reward or recognition in return.

TGM should focus on creating a culture of accountability, professionalism, and respect. Leadership sets the tone. If leadership engages in unprofessional behavior, it damages morale, trust, and retention. Address issues instead of deflecting them and focus on building staff up rather than tearing them down. Respect, trust, and integrity are not optional they’re the foundation of a healthy workplace. Management should also learn to follow  through when staff raise concerns. I was told by management that an investigation would take place via HR and that I would be contacted directly for feedback and no one bothered to ever reach out after a very horrific experience at one of their properties driven primarily by the Property Manager. That silence speaks volumes and it should serve as a warning to anyone considering employment here. While this company taught me to develop thick skin, I’ve since realized I didn’t need it in healthier, more professional roles where respect and accountability are standard. I am no longer required to endure mistreatment just to survive. 

While I loved the people I worked with in my actual office, upper management was extremely difficult to work for. They offered very little support or training, but were always quick to micromanage or criticize everything. They take advantage of their employees - expecting them to overwork themselves and have no personal life. You only get 4 holidays off, so dont expect to spend many more with your family. They do nothing for their residents, and up the rents when the apartments are falling apart. No working ACS, heat, etc. But renewal increases are between 150-300. You're constantly working at a disadvantage. Working harder not smarter. Go somewhere else. you will work yourself to death here for no real gain or advancement.

Working here has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company fosters a supportive, collaborative environment where everyone is encouraged to grow and succeed. Leadership is approachable and genuinely cares about employee well-being, and there’s a strong sense of teamwork across all departments.
Opportunities for learning and professional development are plentiful, and the workplace culture promotes both innovation and work-life balance. I feel valued, motivated, and proud to be part of this organization.
Overall, it’s a truly great place to work, and I’m grateful to be part of such a positive and inspiring team.

TGM holds true to their values! I have been in the industry for 10 years and worked for 4 management companies. TGM is by far the best! From training, room for growth, property backup from regional office, reachability to regional office, report work load, I could go on and on. I will be with TGM until I retire or win the lottery, Whichever comes first!

I had a lot of support at this company and thoroughly enjoyed the training from staff. People stay with this company for a long amount of time which speaks volumes. The hours didn’t correlate with daycare but I always speak highly of TGM. 

I loved this company the growth potential and ongoing training was amazing.  The company is structured and organized well and the employees are given many opportunities to stand out.  It was a great environment to advance in.  I am thankful to TGM and all of the tools they provided to me.

I did gounds first thing in the morning. I learned alot from my coworkers about A/C and heating. I also got to learn about their electric hotwater tanks. Management was awesome. I got to be close friends with all that was there.

No life to work balance. No set schedule of work. Work between 7 to 13 days in a row with only 4 off. No flexibility hardly even with a proven way to let everyone work only 5 days in a row. Pay was decent but hours were abhorrent and worked 7 days a week.
