The Stellar Family of Companies

I've been with Stellar Family of Companies for less than a year, and what initially attracted me was the opportunity for professional growth—and that potential absolutely exists here. The company is clearly growth-minded and full of vision, which is exciting to be a part of. There’s a willingness among leadership, especially my Regional, to hear input from the field and communicate that up the chain. That openness is something I genuinely appreciate.

That said, Stellar is still in the "building phase." There are growing pains when it comes to establishing consistent systems, structure, and operational organization. In an industry where technology is rapidly evolving, we do have some catching up to do to stay competitive and efficient. However, I believe the company is aware of these challenges and is working toward addressing them.

To continue attracting and retaining highly experienced professionals—and to remain competitive in the property management industry—both base pay and the bonus structure may need to be reevaluated. The bonus opportunities are in place, but they could be more clearly defined and consistently structured to truly motivate and reward performance across all roles. I share this feedback respectfully and with the intent of supporting Stellar’s long-term growth and success.

If you're someone who thrives in a start-up or evolving environment—where you can be a part of laying the groundwork and aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves—Stellar can be a great fit. On the other hand, if you're looking for a company with everything already buttoned up and clearly defined, it may feel a bit unsteady at times.

Overall, I see the potential, and I’m hopeful that I’ll be part of helping Stellar grow into the company it aims to be.

Your training will consist of 40 hours of memorizing their company values and learning the stellar way. Strictly because their upper leadership has no other management experience to offer true training. Policy and procedures very outdated. They ask you to send lease agreements with incorrect charges because “that’s the way we do it”. Over all this company has no clue what they are doing as a management team. The upper leadership is never available and unresponsive. There are no leasing commissions or bonuses which is unheard of especially when doing lease ups. The pay is below average. You will get zero positive feedback when you exceed goals however one slow leasing week and they will eat you alive! The managers who stick around are doing shady deals with vendors to get kickbacks, probably the only way they can afford to live on a low pay with no leasing incentives. Beware. 

Very disappointed in this company. They draw you in with their "kindness" and "family focused" attributes and then treat you badly. You work non stop and when you need help, no one is there to help you. The regionals don't fully know what they are doing so it takes days on end to get a solid answer out of them. They tell you one thing and then do another. There is limited respect (which they preach highly that they have). They allow employees to feel less than, because either way they are getting paid at the end of the day. They give you false promises that you can trust them, when all they do is gossip at the Corporate Office about employees. They tell you there is room for advancement, but in all reality, there isn't! Don't get your hopes up with this company. They'll use you and abuse you. They don't train you well enough for the next step, you train yourself! The only good thing Stellar did for me was allowing me to figure out my worth and seek better opportunities elsewhere.  

Typical corporate structured system with bonus incentives for Management, if they limit employee overtime and stay under budget. Which can lead to greedy behaviors by Management, and a comp time culture that is detrimental to lower level employees. Medium to low starting salaries, in comparison to city average wages. Absolutely NO Benefits are offered to employees. Stellar Communities is a newer division of a larger Company, called Stellar Developments and is still in its infancy stages. Due to this fact, the division is going through the growing pain process but shows great potential. Stellar Communities will be a great addition to the company but if it maintains the typical corporately structured system, then I fear it will NOT be beneficial to lower level employees.

Would not recommend working for this company to anyone! All about making money and pushing unrealistic expectations. They do not know how to properly manage multi family housing and could care less about the people they rent to or have working for them. The bonus incentives are a joke and no renewal incentives. Onsite events only have a $50 budget! They constantly make employees feel degraded and talk down to them. They should hire people in higher roles that have actually worked in property management roles before. They also expect onsite office staff to be the full time cleaners for the office, model unit, and apartments that are being leased after construction fails to clean them properly. Construction issues galore they are not willing to fix that cause worse issues for residents when they move in. 

All companies' goals are about making money and pushing expectations, here the Stellar Family gives you a voice to be heard, if you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure. They care about the people they rent to and for the employees they have working for them. They constantly make employees feel appreciated, they give encouragement beyond measures and will Pray their hardest with you... not only are you an employee you are a sister or brethren of Christ with them. They ensure you are taken care of as an employee so that you can take care of your property and team! It's an honor to be part of the Stellar Family! 

The Stellar Family of Companies poses significant challenges. Upper management lacks expertise in property management, exposing the organization to various liabilities. There's a concerning expectation to mislead residents, especially regarding known rodent issues that management hesitates to address due to financial constraints, contradicting the company's stated values. Residents are unfairly burdened with overcharges to alleviate the company's financial difficulties. I cannot recommend this company unless you're prepared to face potential legal consequences.

I am busy from the time I get here to the time I leave.  I leave work undone for the next day. But they are ok with that as they want our participation in the service activities, the corporate hosted bible studies, the Monday morning worship.  There is definitely stress, but they care and work with us to find ways to reduce it. The owners embrace technology efficiencies and want to make our work easier. Of course, the goal is to use the efficiencies so we can handle the growth they are wanting in their 10-year goal.  

Stellar is a great company to work for.  Working here has been such a great experience and I am still learning and growing and enjoying my job so much.  My manager is the best there is and I love coming to work here every day.  I definitely recommend this company.  They care about their employees and always ask what they can do to help us do our job.  They do truly care, and that makes a difference to me.  I look forward to coming to work every single day.  

I really enjoy my job.  What I do and the culture.  I do align with their belief system and love that there is a company out there not afraid to stand up to the political pressure to forgo God. We have weekly bible studies and pray at the beginning of meetings. It is not forced participation but I am glad I don't have to feel like I have to hide it either.  The only drawback I feel is the insurance.  They pay for the employee's insurance, but the deductible is so high that I am not sure I can use it.  I have seen the reviews from the past, but have not experienced a negative manager yet.  Mistakes are met with grace.
