The Buckingham

A typical day at work is usually dynamic and productive, with multiple tasks and situations to handle, which keeps the day active and interesting. There are days with a very heavy and demanding workload, but there are also much calmer and more manageable days, which creates a good balance in the routine. Overall, the work is manageable for someone with experience and a willingness to learn. One of the biggest benefits of this position is the constant opportunity to gain knowledge, since you work with a wide variety of equipment and systems, including electric and gas water heaters, electric and gas heating systems, and units with different types of refrigerant. This allows you to build very well-rounded technical experience. Management and the company culture are focused on providing the best possible service to both residents and employees. I also value that the company offers good pay, recognizes strong performance through quarterly bonuses, provides paid time off and vacation benefits, and offers plenty of overtime opportunities for those who want to work more and increase their income. What I liked most about the job was how much I learned and the experience I gained, especially while working on large multifamily properties, where the professional growth can be very significant.

I recently left Buckingham Companies after nearly three years, because as hard as I tried, there was no room for advancement. I gave nearly a two month notice and asked to drop down to part-time while I settled into another amazing opportunity with plenty of room for growth in case other at positions at Buckingham opened in the future for me. They had the nerve to tell me they would only offer me part-time if they had trouble finding a "quality candidate" to fill my role. So they posted my position while I was still working and searched for my replacement that never came. I told them I would stay working part-time until they found a replacement, and they still said no--apparently they really wanted me gone. They made me feel like garbage my last month there. I am just wondering how their search for quality candidate is coming along? I am seeing a lot of positions open online from the previous property I worked at. All this seems to be evidence that their corporate office is out of touch and spread very thin with the properties they manage.  It started out such a great company to work for. I hope they can get it back together. Buckingham can improve by creating a positive work environment at the property level and perhaps have district managers and more regionals as they continue to grow to provide more reach to their properties.

I have worked for Buckingham for 4 years now and very much enjoy this company. They have great opportunities to grow and learn and different trainings and programs to help you grow in the path you want to thrive in. I was an Assistant Property Manager and had the opportunity to go through a training program for APM's to learn the duties of a Property Manager and helped me grow and learn to be promoted to my first PM position. The company is continuously growing and expanding that gives their employees plenty of opportunity to grow and move up. They also make sure you have the relationship with your manager by having one on one's with them and opportunity for guidance from them. 

Too many reports and meetings are required on a day to day basis.  The ability to juggle all of these task without a proper staff is unachievable.  District managers and regional managers are not available to assist you when needed.  Managers are very supportive and understand the struggles.  You are asked to find a manager to help you rather than a superior to help you.  There is a lot of online training available, but no one on one training.

Buckingham does not foster a teamwork oriented environment. Maintenance issues regularly fell on office staff, with little accountability taken. Leadership did not proactively address unmet expectations and provided minimal feedback or guidance. Chronic understaffing and unrealistic workloads created a stressful and unsustainable environment. When concerns were raised employees were often labeled as problematic rather than supported. I would NOT recommend for professionals seeking collaboration, accountability, or respect.

Poor management and culture, overworked, unequal distribution of work, and lack of ability to retain skilled employees. Advancement opportunities based on camaraderie instead of skill level and ability to complete job duties. Poor performing employees continue to be less productive, yet maintain a job.  Certain employees are shown favoritism or unfair accommodations. Salary not congruent with duties performed/completed or tenor within the company.

Working for Buckingham Company was not a good experience for me .  I worked for TB and H  at same location I did all the maintenance for the 72 apartment complex by my self.  Good enough for Buckingham to buy the Apt Complex .  Buckingham added more jobs to my job description  
as painting Apts 1  bedroom  2 bedroom and 3 bedroom  apts in 3 days  to  be rented  again when poeple move out  .  And  do the pool  in summer.  I feel that  Buckingham  treated me like a dumb old man that didn't know anything .
