Zaremba-Management-Company

You could not find a better training ground in property management than Zaremba. We did so much- I often said a zaremba leasing consultant is like a property manager, and a property manager is like a regional. You handle work orders, resident issues, renewals, vacate notices, etc, all while keeping the place full and the residents happy. 

As a property manager, my role changed to more of an “asset manager” where we were completing variance reports, coding, monthly budgeting, and forecasting. For those that wanted to learn, it was great training in the financial side of property management. We also learned more about preventive maintenance and how to plan for the next 5-10 years instead of what was in front of you.

I overall loved my time at Zaremba. I felt like we were the best at what we did (still do) and that I was apart of the success of my property. Within the past 2-3 years they merged with a different company where the management was more abrasive, took away benefits, and made hours longer for the same pay. It lost the “family” feel and it seems like they are selling all of their properties locally and buying new builds down south. I left because I was presented with a job opportunity, and I’m glad I did because the property I was at was sold about 6 months later.

For anyone considering working at Zaremba, I would absolutely recommend it. The job is demanding, but you will be apart of a great team and you will learn a lot. I also would suggest being a resident at one of their properties. Residents are treated fairly and respectfully, listened to, and the staff is there to ensure your comfort. 

Another Zaremba review mentioned that they miss their fellow employees. I miss our kickoff and staff events, and the other employees. Most of us were long term 10-15+ year employees! 

I was absorbed into ZMC as part of a management overtake. At first, I was excited for the future. They talk a good game. However, as time went on, it was clear that upper management was toxic and micromanaging. My opinions and experience were thrown aside and vacancy loss suffered due to it. It is very much “my way or the highway” according to upper management. Processes are slow and clunky. They make things significantly more complicated than it needs to be, and refuse to consider any other way to do things. Senior PMs are overly involved in the day to day, and extremely micromanaging and condescending when asked questions. Regionals overstep past their region, and have limited knowledge of the area/clientele - and refuse to listen. (Are you sensing a pattern?) 

PTO benefits are great - however you will be called/texted during your scheduled PTO for things that definitely aren’t emergencies. There is limited work/life balance. So many useless, mandatory reports. A lack of on site support, and people coming to “help” who just have to be babysat. There are a few good people who truly care - but their hands are tied and are unable to change things for the better. Paid holidays are few and far between due to the owners personal convictions. 

Working for Zaremba Management has been a great experience. Being the head lifeguard taught me how to multitask in many different areas, including scheduling, helping management recruit, as well as working shifts and keeping up in school. It was an enjoyable job in the sense of building relationships with the apartment tenants over the years, and getting to come back each season to see them once again. The staff was very tentative to anything I needed, and management there is ran very well. The hardest part may have been having to work around the other lifeguards busy summer schedules, and working around that, but over the years I have improved on this immensely.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I really did not enjoy my time with this company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Employee concerns will go ignored. HR will not call you back. Difficult to talk to upper management about anything and your issues will never be resolved. I do not recommend working with this company. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I would not recommend working for this company. I left feeling completely unheard and like my issues were not being taken seriously.

Unfortunately, working for Zaremba was not a positive experience in most ways. I did attain experience in leasing, but I also experienced how difficult it can be to work under people who are nice to your face, but have bad intentions when you are turned. Upper management is as "Good Ol' Boy" as it gets and they favor those who have joined the Jehovah Witnesses over others. They often roll their eyes when a resident has a problem that needs solved as soon as the resident leaves.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Office team not honest.  Lazy co workers. Unpleasant experience. Dishonesty with your commissions.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with a lazy not team player coworker.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You might not be fully accepted between manager and assistant manager.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very heavy work load showing apartments.

Learned a lot about the apartment leasing business from this management company.  Had an excellent training center and was always kept updated on fair housing laws and necessary information to do the job well. 
Had to work EVERY weekend - cut into my private life.

Getting to know all kinds of people.  Job was not restricted to just leasing.  On occasion helping the activities co-ordinate with activities for the residents, attending workshops and leasing seminars.
Hardest part, having to coordinate personal life with work on the weekends.
Truly a nice place to work.

As a leasing agent they expect you to lease apartments that are very expensive and the funny part is they don't pay you enough to even afford to. Live in their apartments.  You can work their but you can't afford to live their even with discount 

Zaremba has treated me very well during my time with the company. They have been very understanding during some personal issues i had to tend to, and gave me the space i needed to deal with them. Great company engagement withinthe office as well as at the individual properties. A true family business and atmosphere.
