The RMR Group

Work-life balance
The workload is unmanageable and continues to grow year after year. The company encourages work-life balance but as an employee it’s impossible to take advantage of. Summer Fridays happen annually from May through September where you can leave at 2. I was able to do that 1-2 times. Vacation time is generous but I always had to work extra to make up for my time off. It is very draining and burn out happens quickly there.

Pay & benefits
Benefits and compensation at RMR are top notch. No complaints and hard to beat. Prepare for a pay cut if you go elsewhere but they pay so people stay. The golden hand cuffs. You will get worked to death and that is why the pay is the best in the industry.

Job security and advancement
There is not a lot of room for advancement. Offices are small so unless someone leaves there are not opportunities to grow. Job security doesn’t exist either and they don’t always get rid of people based on performance or merit. Sometimes they get rid of people that should stay and keep weaker employees. It’s very political and based on portfolio alone.

Culture
There is no culture. Employees have too much work to do we can’t even go out for a group lunch. No parties or team building of any sort. Food is always ordered in and eaten in conference room even for our hood at party.

Overall
There is a general tone that everyone is overworked and frustrated with work load but even when discussed with management nothing improves. The employees who have been there 10+ years tend to stay but new galant send to leave after a few years. It is a very old school mentality and no autonomy given to management teams. Policies and procedures are in place for everything and it makes it difficult to get things done timely. Also their budget season lasts 6 months and makes you want to bash your head into a wall after every budget meeting. It is not streamlined at all and not an effective use of time.

The RMR Group Management was helpful and allowed you to do your job and supplied you with everything needed to do it, I really liked the company and all employees from the Senior property manager, Property manager, Area Chief engineer, Chief engineer, and other staff and engineers. It is a good company to work for and I highly recommend them. I experienced a problem with a government hateful little ole women driven by fear from her superiors, and she tried to micro managed me in every detail of the job, and because I pushed back; she didn't like me, and got me let go because she was so insecure, RMR owned the building and because the gov. threat and fear of loosing the lease senior RMR management above those I listed unfortunately made the decision to replace me.  

The RMR Group has a strategically planned culture of unrealistic and unattainable expectations. This puts associates and management alike in a defensive position from the first day of work because nobody can ever achieve their demands. It also sets up an advantageous background for the company to fire you any time. 
Being a "yes" man [or woman] will never suffice to keep your job. I was targeted and set up for failure from day one on the job. Judging by my first meeting's all negative feedback from my superior, I should have been fired instantly. Every meeting I had was ALL negative. They gave me a title and position but I was never allowed even to hire one person. Everything goes through Boston, even drawing a breath. That is the company's prerogative but it is not a work environment conducive to achievements or progress. The stress accumulated in one year at this company was more than the combined stress of my entire career. I am happy I am out. Everything I was told in my interview, during my orientation and throughout my employment, everything was misleading statements and lies. Every single thing, from the scope of expectations, my role and my performance.

As an entrepreneur for more than 5 yrs.. begun with an SUV and a trailer attached (from the farm land to the Space Needle).. to present day 30' Box Truck (from unique finds in clean outs to Federal Government Buildings).. working my way to the top from the filth in recycling at dangerous places, long hours and at its darkest, around aggressive druggie alcoholic crazy people, a stress of competing in sales to many markets to most beautiful homesteads, luxurious merchandise and businesses, signing contracts with managers and working with directors of businesses. So much of that has come and gone. Fortunately.. I'm still here persevering through 2016.. with the difficult markets and peoples budgets. This period of time is tough! Especially for me in Metal Commodities sales and transportation with traffic. It's still a great pleasure to work with many in trucking. I'm grateful to have a network of good people.. FINALLY! I've been called the "mover and shaker" and want to make that name more successful with your help. Keep us moving because I have big plans for the future in logistics with technology and transportation. Invest in us is investing in our future.

I temped with The RMR group for just 8 days - not even all full work days at that. My start date was delayed because they didn’t have my laptop on the day I was supposed to start, and my first two days were half days because of this. I was supposed to be a property admin - which involves handling calls. My headset came in during my second work week, and I didn’t even get my teams phone number set up until what ended up being my last day. 

They decided to end my temp contract because I was “not retaining training” when I had JUST started and there were multiple delays on their end in getting me trained and at no point did they address any issues in how I was receiving training. I wasted my time accepting this temp position, it was 40+ minutes away from home and for them to delay my training then punish me for a learning curve just shows a sheer lack of organization on their part.
