Vesta Property Services

Some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of working with are here.  You will find some of the best senior managers, but as with everywhere there are a few bad apples.  If you happen to fall under the leadership of a bad apple you may find that senior management is inexplicably protective of those individuals despite concerns having been raised by multiple people.  I have seen some amazing dedicated talent walk out those doors to the detriment of the company choosing to retain persons who are unsupportive and demeaning in leadership positions  Now if you don't have to work for the bad apple crowd, you will find excellent managers here.  

Opportunities for growth and advancement are abundant, it is a growing company.  They have an excellent business model with a lot to offer new clients.  A well rounded experienced team of professionals exists here and most everyone is willing to act as a resource to assist fellow employees with problem solving.

The CEO and Board of Directors take a genuine interest in the culture, morale, and communicate effectively the companies vision and direction for the future.

Community Management is hard work, and not always the 9-5.  Some of the senior Management could do a better job in supporting the teams need for work/life balance.  

The on boarding and training process for new hires has been a long standing issue.  With company growth they are working to address these issues, however I believe were slow to react to the rapid growth and to ensure that enough staff & properly trained staff were in place prior to taking on new contracts.  At times I saw contract losses due to this unpreparedness. 

They also don't pay well considering the work load.  Work piles on for little to no pay increase...  I have also seen experienced applicants turned away in favor of inexperience that they can hire on the cheap.  This doesn't always work out to their advantage.  I am not sure if VP's get paid bonuses for savings on the bottom line in their region, but it sure seems that way.  Ive been in a position to hire some well qualified candidates and was told senior management would not sign off over what most would nominal increases in the offer.  We lost out on some great people that way and ended up having to hire candidates with zero experience.

I will continue to be very interested to watch as Vesta continues to grow, it has been very successfully expanding its portfolio opening up new opportunities every day.  If they can fix the areas I mentioned above they are an unstoppable force in the community management industry.  

My overall experience with the company was marred by several key issues that made it a difficult place to work.

One of the most critical challenges was the lack of support from upper management. I found that resources were scarce, and guidance from leadership was minimal. This lack of direction made it nearly impossible to meet the ambitious goals set for my team, and it often felt like we were expected to deliver results without the necessary tools or support.

Another significant concern was poor communication across the company. There was a consistent disconnect between departments, leading to misaligned expectations and frequent confusion. This lack of clarity not only affected the efficiency of operations but also contributed to a stressful work environment, where employees were left to navigate unclear directives on their own.

The company culture was another major issue. Rather than fostering a supportive and collaborative environment, the culture at Vesta Property Services was often characterized by a lack of transparency and a reluctance to address underlying problems. Constructive feedback was rarely welcomed, and there was little emphasis on professional development or employee well-being. This culture created an atmosphere where morale was low, and employees felt undervalued and unsupported.

These combined challenges—lack of leadership, poor communication, and a toxic culture—significantly impacted both my job satisfaction and the overall morale of my team. Despite our best efforts, the pervasive issues within the company made it difficult to sustain motivation and achieve the desired outcomes. Ultimately, these factors played a large part in my decision to leave the company.

In conclusion, while Vesta Property Services has the potential to be a great place to work, the current lack of effective leadership, poor communication, and a detrimental culture severely hinder its ability to realize that potential. I would strongly advise prospective employees to carefully consider these factors before joining the company.


I worked at this community management company, and while there were a few positives—like some genuinely hardworking coworkers and the opportunity to gain experience quickly—the challenges far outweighed the benefits.

The most glaring issue was extremely high turnover. It felt like someone was always quitting or being replaced. This wasn’t just frustrating for the clients—it made it hard for the rest of us to do our jobs. We were constantly picking up the slack for others or training new hires while trying to keep up with our own overwhelming workloads.

A big reason for that turnover is the low pay. The salary simply doesn’t match the amount of responsibility or stress involved. Most of us wore multiple hats and were expected to manage way more than was reasonable without adequate compensation or recognition.

Training was almost nonexistent. I was thrown into the role with little direction, and most of what I learned came from trial and error or asking more experienced employees (when they were available). There was no structured on-boarding, and the resources provided were outdated or unclear.

Management was largely non-communicative and reactive, not proactive. You were often left to figure things out on your own, and even when you raised concerns or asked for help, follow-up was inconsistent or never came. Upper leadership seemed more focused on appearances than actually supporting employees or solving core problems.

There was also no corporate support for marketing or growth, which left a lot of teams—especially in community development or sales—without the tools needed to succeed. The lack of strategy at the corporate level made day-to-day work feel disjointed and unsustainable.

In short, if you’re looking for a role where you can grow, be supported, and feel like part of a team, this probably isn’t the right place. It might be useful as a way to get your foot in the door in property or community management, but expect to carry a heavy load with little support or appreciation.

I tried to come forward about wrong doings from the manager hired around the same time as me. My entire email was forwarded to that manager from the Vice President and the meeting the rest of the employees and I were requesting was denied. We were told to figure it out within the office. That manger soon after put lies on my record to support firing me. A few months later she did the same to another employee there. I was also tasks with not only my responsibilities but other employees responsibilities as well, to include tasks that should have been done by that manager. The manager was never at work doing her job, and instead was always supposedly at home tending to her farm animals. The work she did get done was always done incorrectly and she would lie to the boss and community members that it was the fault of others in the office (the ones picking up her slack and fixing her mistakes). I tried telling human resources that the comments on my time card were false and instead of investigating it and removing them like requested, they locked me out of the system so that I could no longer see it. I would never work for this company again even if they doubled my pay, especially after being humiliated like I was.

I was pressured into a resignation after I developed a medical condition that required several appointments. Before that, I missed at least half a dozen family events in the year I was there because there was zero flexibility in scheduling. My wife developed a medical condition as well and there wasn't even allowances given for phone calls to comfort her. This company expects you to work 60+ hours a week and at least 6 days a week, while obscuring that fact from upper management - I've seen managers get pressured to outright lie and say they have a work/life balance when they're in the office from before sunup to just before sundown. 
Speaking of lying, this company encourages dishonesty with each other as well as customers and residents. I've watched managers lie about technological capabilities, make up their own titles on the fly, and spead gossip to deflect from real issues.

A typical day at work involves interacting with residents, addressing their concerns, and trying to ensure they have a pleasant experience. I’ve learned a lot about communication and the importance of patience, especially when dealing with management. Unfortunately, management often seems to lack a clear understanding of the bigger picture, which can lead to frustrations when trying to get approval for events. The workplace culture is a mix of collaboration and tension, as we try to balance residents’ needs with the limitations set by management. The hardest part of the job is navigating the red tape to organize meaningful events, but the most enjoyable part is when an event finally comes together, and residents genuinely enjoy themselves. Despite the challenges, seeing the residents happy makes the effort worthwhile.

Work-life balance
Work-life balance at Vesta Property Services is non existent. They expect you to do 2-3 jobs.

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at Vesta Property Services are inadequate. Benefits are ok, pay is VERY low and you have to beg for raises.

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at Vesta Property Services, I think you are used until the manager has a bad day and decides he doesn't want to work with you anymore.

Management
In general, managers at Vesta Property Services are extremely unprofessional and all around don't know what they are doing.

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at Vesta Property Services is non-existent.

Overall
My experience working at Vesta Property Services was horrible! I do not recommend working for this company. Low pay, poor management and lack of support all around.

No job stability. Corporate management treats hourly employees and mid level managers expendably. High turnover from treatment of staff and no accountability at higher levels.

The priority is more about how things look than how things are. Scapegoats are more important than resolutions. No reward system for excellence. 

Understaffing is a major issue. Existing staff is overworked until burned out, then fired if they don't resign first. 65+ hours a week on average for mid level managers. 

Morale is rock bottom. Staff was denied a holiday party and all subsequent attempts at team building activities. Staff does not receive organized training despite promises. Mid level managers receive no support to complete their tasks or meet deadlines.

*I learned that no matter how hard you work you will be screwed in the end.             
*The politics is unbelievable.                                                                                                                     *Once they can find no place for you to work, instead of giving you the courtesy of notifying you and laying you off or giving you the choice to walk away with your dignity intact, they will find a way to fire you and slander your good reputation and make it difficult for you to find other employment.                                                                     
*Like children they gather themselves together against anyone thats not in the club. *Like sea gulls they fight and squabble over scraps.                                                                 
 *Over 3 years and it was a waste of time.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management was petty. They shifted managers around job sites that bent the knee to their standards.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Busy- bee workers supported each other. Management forgot kindness. It was very uncomfortable realizing your leads were scared of losing their position.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lying to clients. Not being honest in saying " I'm sorry....you will be transferred to a rep that never pucks up the phone because even THEY aren't allowed to tell you the truth....let alone knowing it."
