Two Coast Living

I’ve worked in property management for over a decade and have been with several well-known companies. Unfortunately, my experience with JRK Property Holdings / Two Coast Living was the most disappointing I’ve had.

The company often talks about “the JRK way,” but in my experience, it does not reflect a culture built on support, growth, or strong values. Instead of collaboration or development, leadership relies heavily on write-ups and constant pressure, with very little support or understanding.

This approach comes from the very top / senior leadership. Employees are often treated as replaceable rather than as professionals, with limited concern for long-term growth or employee well-being.

It is hard to stay motivated in an environment where support and people are never a priority. I have worked for other organizations that put people first, and my experience with JRK Property Holdings / Two Coast Living fell far short of those basic professional standards.


As an Assistant Property Manager, I learn quite a bit from interacting with tenants and owners on a daily basis. I communicate with them regularly and promptly, keeping them informed of any updates, changes, or maintenance work. I also respond to their requests or complaints as soon as possible and follow up with them until the issue is resolved. I use designated tools to keep track of their records and payments, and document all our conversations and agreements. I also try to get to know them and build rapport with them, showing interest in their lives and preferences. I organize events and activities for them to create a sense of community and belonging. I enjoy working with tenants and owners, and I always strive to exceed their expectations.

• Exceptional onboarding process shortened my learning curve for the job.   
• Helpful colleagues enabled me to deliver, if not surpass, expected results. 
• Passion is evident in the workplace.  Everyone rallies behind each other.  
• Clients are so appreciative of my service that they eventually become my friends even after the end of their contract. 
• Preapproved shifts.  We work weekends and holidays because that is when we get a lot of walk-ins.  But not to worry, because this can be offset in other (slower) days of the week.  
• Showing prospects around our properties is something I enjoy a lot.  (Currently assigned to The Arbors at California Oaks – a lovely apartment!)  Having them sign on the property makes the job even more fulfilling.

I watched the same organizational structure get torn apart and rebuilt three times in the span of eighteen months, each time with promises that this would finally be the fix. The people in charge kept shuffling departments around, changing reporting lines, merging teams that had just been split up—it was exhausting to track who was responsible for what anymore. Nothing fundamentally improved; they were just moving chairs around the deck while the actual problems stayed the same. I spent more time adapting to new structures than actually doing meaningful work. The lack of stability made it impossible to build anything or see real progress on anything that mattered. 



If you're considering a position here, especially in maintenance or operations, be prepared for poor communication, unrealistic workload, and a complete lack of support from upper management. I was expected to do the work of multiple people while handling constant emergencies with no adjustment to expectations. Leadership routinely ignored operational challenges, failed to follow their own policies, and created a toxic, blame-heavy environment.

Even during a family emergency, I kept working—but was switched to hourly pay to save the company money. Months later, I was terminated without a single formal warning or performance plan. High turnover is the norm here. Good employees are set up to fail. Avoid if you’re looking for a stable or respectful work environment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You stay busy, there is never a shortage of work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is always something demanding attention, which is expected, but the way it is handled feels disorganized and inefficient. Instead of resolving problems with any sense of order, you are pushed from one issue to the next with no clear system guiding anything. And it keeps repeating. One problem gets fixed, then a similar one shows up again, yet nothing improves in how it is managed overall. It is a constant cycle of reaction with no real progress, making it feel like nothing is ever truly streamlined.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You can learn fast if you're food at figuring things out alone.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Alright, here’s where it gets messy. The people at the top are completely out of touch and seem shocked when things fall apart. Training is rushed or skipped, so you’re left guessing and hoping you don’t mess up. The pay structure sounds great at first, then you realize it’s almost impossible to hit because no one backs you up. The hours get brutal fast, and any extra effort goes unnoticed. Managers carry all the stress with no real say, and people quit nonstop. That kind of turnover tells the real story.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It's an environment pretty easy to settle into. Communication is clear, and everyone is generally on the same page. You're free to handle your responsibilities as you see fit, and support is there whenever you need it. The pace can pick up during certain periods, but it never turns chaotic. The pay and benefits are OK, and there’s the option to take on more responsibility as your experience grows. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
 A lot of paperwork to deal with at times

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good communication, supportive team, growth opportunities

What is the best part of working at the company?
There's a lot to do on any given day, but I like that about the job because it doesn't get boring – it's a mix of showing apartments, talking to prospects, handling applications, and fielding resident questions. The on-site team works in sync, and managers are easy to reach when something needs clarification. The commission structure fairly rewards the effort you put in.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some slow days, some crazy busy days...same as everywhere really.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Solid teamwork, great benefits package, fair commission structure.
