VineBrook Homes

During my short tenure there, it was a hot mess and I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Over the last six months or so, they've lost a huge amount of employees (across all the departments), some leaving without another job, because of the poor management, because they simply couldn't take any more of the atmosphere there.

There are still people there who worked for the prior owners and they create dissension and cause personnel problems with their interference into the process.  These workers strive to make the workplace a horrible place and refuse to accept any changes for the better while leading the CEO to believe they're behind him.

I had a difficult time learning anything because of the workplace bully environment and the constantly being told to discount procedure and do things "their way" by other employees.

Management constantly tells the employees they're making changes for the better only to learn they had no intention of doing so, they just don't want to lose any more employees.  Also, the pay scale is low compared to the rest of the job market for similar work.  When I left there for another job, I immediately started earning $5 more an hour.  They also promise raises that aren't forthcoming, with no explanation as to what the delay is, just more empty promises.

Avoid working for Vinebrook at all costs, unless you have a great deal of contempt for yourself and enjoy being treated badly.

Vinebrook almost blatantly refuses to take care of their properties . Spending minimal amounts to upkeep the homes they provide for rent . Most of the homes I entered were dilapidated and disgusting . When putting together a game plan to address the rundown nature of the houses , it almost always gets turned down or put at a stand still due to costs , per upper management. 

In the mean time , this makes performing duties on the job loathsome and stressful. Most of the time it felt pointless to try to make a difference, knowing that management will stop whatever progress you’re trying to make . Going above and beyond is pointless . Managers don’t notice or care , and there is no reward or compensation for doing so . The pay/labor ratio is extremely low compared to the knowledge needed and the work expected and Vinebrook will not hear any reasons to pay more . It’s a dead end job . no bonuses worth bragging about . No positions available for advancement , therefore no reasons for Vinebrook to offer more money. The work is dead ended as well ,as stated before ;day in and day out showing up to run down  disgusting houses with angry tenants and NOT being allowed to make a difference , not being paid enough to want to .
Any Issue, complaint , need , or work/company related circumstances brought to  ANY managers attention ultimately falls on deaf ears and goes unaddressed . Every . Single. Time. Doesn’t matter what it is . No one will listen , no one will advocate , no one will try . It’s a depressing job across all spectrums. 

Working at Vinebrook homes was one of the most frustrating experiences of my career. While I was committed to my job and performed my duties well, the companies work environment was disorganized, and supportive, and unprofessional. I was fired on my 89th day, just before becoming eligible for benefits, with no prior warnings or indications that my job is at risk. After reporting a workplace hygiene issue to HR, I felt targeted and ultimately let go under suspicious circumstances. Management does not communicate effectively, and employees are often left in the dark about expectations and policies. Many employees experience sudden termination or choose to leave due to the toxic work environment. If you’re looking for stability, professionalism, or a company that values it’s employees, I strongly advise looking elsewhere.

I've been in the workforce for 20+ years and Vinebrook was the first place where my position challenged me in the best way. I came into Vinbrook as an IT Product Specialist after a career transition. Onboarding was very smooth, the IT team was very welcoming and the benefits were pretty standard so I had no complaints. On a day to day there were projects to maintain and follow up on, software testing, training documents to author, lots of meetings since most of the IT roles were remote. The hardest part of my job didn't come until a restructuring happened. I was moved to a different department and basically had to facilitate my own training which I had no problem doing but it would have been nice if the transition was streamlined. I will say that the department that I was transferred to had a host of people willing and ready to answer any question I had or allow me to pick their brain. The only other complaint I really had was not being able to get in touch with upper management when I had an issue which caused me to temporarily feel unheard. Overall, I've learned the most from Vinebrook. I've expanded my capabilities by handling any challenge that arose at Vinebrook. The people there are pretty awesome!

Do not work for this company! Started 1.5 yrs ago and while it seemed good at first a couple of months in, I started having problems getting paid. Finished a full house and didn't even see the 1st payment until 3 weeks after the house was completed. You get half way through the house you get paid half the contract, which wasn't the case for me. I tried to stay strong and give them the benefit of the doubt as things were ok getting paid for a little bit and then back to the waiting game to get paid. This job has turned my life for the worse, my credit is now destroyed, I lost my truck, my family didn't get to celebrate Christmas ( they fail to inform you that they basically shut down from end of Nov until well after the new year), in the last couple of months playing the waiting game has forced me to payout thousands in overdraft and late fees which is ridiculous! Not to mention its 2/11 and still no 1099 for taxes. They have no concern for what being made to wait longer than your supossed to to get paid, does to a person financially and mentally. No one should have to worry about feeding their family when you make good money but not getting paid timely costs you money in fees that take away from the ability to do so!

I worked in collections/AR. Most of the 2 years I worked there… they hired management externally even if you have been there and know the the job better than any external hire would. The managers are basically just micro managers. They don’t seem to have any real job other than to watch your every move made. The system they use literally shows them every second of every day and if you do anything out of order, even if it makes ZERO sense, then they are on zoom messaging you immediately. They don't trust you to do your job. The company grows CONSTANTLY but doesn’t care that they don’t have enough bandwidth to cover the extra work. It gets left on all of the entry level employees. If you have an idea to make things easier, just keep it to yourself. It’s their ridiculous way or nothing at all. Nobody knows how to run the company, they give their managers zero say in anything OTHER than to constantly just watch you. They do give good bonuses at the end of the year, around Christmas but it’s the least they could do for the little pay they give you. Oh and every December when you get a raise, expect MAYBE 50 cents. Enjoy! 

While I worked at Vinebrook it was pretty normal stuff, you were contracted to do a job, and would do it. However.. a lot of stuff was by “their code”, and not actual code of the trade you were in. This is the start of the issues, you may do something, and it’s not their way.. so it’s wrong. Which is probably why they have 1 star on Google as a business. Pay can be weird as well.. could be weekly, bi weekly, monthly.. really comes down to how much they like you I think, same with how much they pay you for a job.. which they obviously can pay, but will change the pay scale on you which is weird. One day it could be so much for a job.. another day a different amount to pay you. They play favorites too, which will come into what jobs you get, or how much you work, so that’s always fun. Project managers were decent, easy to work with, and probably the best part besides the other contractors you may run into.. it’s the higher positioned people that are the issue. My advice.. work here if it’s a side job type thing.. I wouldn’t bank on it being your full time thing even if it happens to be looking like it is.

I have had the opportunity to watch this company grow and I am excited to see where the next years take this company! The world of property management is by no means "relaxed" or "slow-paced" and it isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy being challenged with something new every week, property management is a rewarding field. That being said, Vinebrook Dayton offers excellent compensation for top performers and management is cognizant of employees having and maintaining a work-life balance. 

The staff is an eclectic mix and truly enjoyable - one of the best parts about coming to work is knowing that you have a team of people ready to assist where possible. 

The only negatives would be that property management in general is a 24-hour job (dealing with peoples homes) and it can be overwhelming at times. 

Vinebrook is still a relatively young company and is rapidly growing. This could be a negative if you prefer to have set instructions for everything. BUT I enjoy developing procedure and being able to have my input truly considered.

When I started at Vinebrook there was an apparent team culture. The entire team I work with is goal driven and every manager has been extremely helpful and willing to train. There is a sense of empowerment here. This company is innovative and creative, constantly developing new methods to help employees complete daily tasks more efficiently. Definitely a reflection and representation of the company and owners ideals. 

This company also has pretty competitive pay. At my last job it would've taken me years to earn what I started with here. Of course salary is based on experience, but it was great to know my years of hard work was starting to pay off. 

 As Vinebrook continues to grow quickly, there is also so much room to grow in your career. I've seen much advancement with colleagues as well as myself.  This is the best job I've ever had and enjoyed. I can definitely see myself being here for a long time and I am excited for the future has in store for me with Vinebrook Homes. 

Was throwed to the wolves very first day of training. The person that was suppose to be one of the lead technicians told me he didn't like training people wow...actually flipped a middle finger at someone in a company truck for cutting in front of him on the way to a service call. When we got there to clean a a/c unit I suggested why he was disconnecting the wires to clean it ...he felt intimidated because I was a new person that just started even suggested to get a prop to hold the fan motor up for cleaning. These guys don't even have a vacuum pump unbelievable. It's not good when you get hired on and find out you have more experience and make less money, no wonder they can't find good people this place and training people are terrible. I needed training on there app not work to be done what a joke.
