A workout facility, nice bar/resturant, pool tables, big screen televisions, swimming pool, tennis courts, golf, etc.
Fitness Attendant (Former Employee), Dallas, TX – May 29, 2013
Pros: free drinks, parties, meeting new people, and staying busy.
Cons: not being able to train as a certified personal trainer at the village, spending time with members who don't know how to use the workout machines, and employees not being able to cover my shift when taken sick.
My day at work was filled with members I've known for years since working at the Village Country Club. Talking to employees, answering phone lines, checking in members, checking for their country club cards, check picture i.d.'s, driver's license, or passport, filing the marquis, selling tanning cards, writing reports on work out equipment that may – more... be damaged, etc. My job varies with different things to do each day.
I've learned alot about, People. Different types of attitudes, and personalities. How to handle the public in a generous way while maintaining my job professionally.
The co-workers always knew they could count on me to cover their shifts if something came up. They always called me. I was very dependable.
The hardest part of the job was, When a member quickly became upset about a rule. basically dealing with their children who wasn't allowed in the fitness center. Regardless, I always went out of my way to make them feel better before leaving the gym. Just different attitudes when the people are having a bad, and they bring it to the gym with them.
My enjoyment working for the Village Country Club was when we had different types of activities. Like, Christmas parties, Halloween parties, New Year's Eve Parties, 70's or 80's dance, Fight Night, etc. Also, every weekend in the summer they always had swimming parties with a special dj every weekend followed by bands. It was such fun. – less

Inspections of regional properties.
Regional Property Management (Former Employee), Dallas, TX – May 11, 2013
Pros: bonuses and the vp taking us to horse races.
Cons: having to fly out every other month for 1 week to inspect regional properties.
Stayed busy, teaching and inspecting properties. I learned how to bid properties, as I had to approve them and control cost. Management was easy to work with and very helpful. My co-workers and I could sit and discuss issues and come to a reasonable agreement on how to fix or improve the task at hand. Having to prepare a property to sell, or having – more... to terminate an employee, was the hardest part of my job. Walking the properties and finding no issues or problems that needed attention, was my most favorite. – less

My thoughts
Leasing Professional (Former Employee), Dallas, TX – May 4, 2013
Pros: all my co workers
Cons: not treated fair
Not everyone is treated the same. I worked there for 3 years and was number 1 in my region and did not get recognized or promoted once. Overall I did love going to work every day because all the girls were my friends.

Not Recommended
Leasing Agent (Former Employee), Palisades Park, NJ – April 26, 2013
Pros: bonus potential
Cons: unqualified management
I basically had to teach myself everything from Yardi to AR/AP and monthly and weekly reports. I was constantly scrutinized by my supervisor who was not qualified for his position. This went on deaf ears from upper management, regional mgrs and VPs. and others in their main office in Texas. I learned from other business managers that I didn't even work – more... with by the advice of my own supervisor. Would not recommend unless you are at a property in the south regions where there is more visible management present.. – less

Unless your in the "in club" you can forget it
Business Manager (Current Employee), Dallas, Texas – March 31, 2013
Pros: good benefits
Cons: overwork, major micro managing, rpm's are way out of touch with reality and good old boys club
I have steadily watched this company decline over the last ten years. It really is a good old boys club and you are advanced if you play the dog and pony show. There are many inappropriate relationships and rumors abound. I used to be proud to work for Lincoln but now can't run away fast enough. I would rather work for a company that values hard work – more... and not just your short skirt and chest size. RPM's have not been on site in years and are way out of touch with reality. – less

Avalon – April 2, 2013

Avalon Bay Communities is the same way. The people in the office (leasing) sit there and surf the web, text and play games on their cell phones and goof off all day. The maintenance staff gets treated awful unless you 'kiss up' to management. No job is worth degrading yourself like that.

Overall good, but with poor management and quality of workers
Maintenance Supervisor (Current Employee), Atlanta, GA – March 24, 2013
On a typical day of work, I first go to the computer to organize the emergency service calls done by the residents that were unable to be responded to. Then I distribute the work around the workers according to their skills. I have learned to have good communication, good behavior, and to put the residents first. The management, however, had low levels – more... of education and was relatively poor in quality. My co-workers were also poor in education and in the quality of their work, with me having to go to what they've "fixed" and redo it because it was wrong. The hardest part of my job was organizing the budget of the property efficiently. The most enjoyable part of the job was every success that I've reached at my workplace on behalf of the residents. – less

Decent company, terrible regional level management
Business Manager (Former Employee), Denver, CO – March 4, 2013
Pros: large management company with opportunity for advancement
Cons: hands off upper management, lack of leadership, poor ethics and trust
No HR department, constant questioning by all staff of what the regional managers "actually do", management by fear and manipulation, many policies and procedures stuck in 1990 mode.

Individual communities can have great staff, but it is certain that regional managers will break what was working. Zero care about customer service and staff is not valued. – more... You are either in the "club" or you are not and will be treated as such.

LPC could be great if upper executives really tackle these issues. – less

Good company with great values and morals, doesn't always pan out
Leasing Professional (Current Employee), Irving, TX – February 27, 2013
Pros: helping people, lots of fresh air, staying active
Cons: high stress
Lincoln property company is a great place to start your career as I did. The benefits are great. Depending on where you work though the management may or may not be pleasant. Different properties can vary widely in how they treat their people. They want a lot of hard sales too and I'm not sure I believe in doing that. It is important to keeping your – more... leasing trend up all the time. The most enjoyable part of the job is the people you can help find a home, getting to know people, and getting to walk outside. It is a lot more than an office job. – less

Challenging Work Environment
Assistant Property Manager (Current Employee), Boston, MA – February 11, 2013
Very challenging and exciting work environment. The ability to learn about different industries is fascinating. Only downfall is the room to grow is slim compared to similar companies.

Ok
Apartment Management (Current Employee), Dallas, TX – December 15, 2012
Pros: good temp job, good health care benefits
Cons: micromanaged, pay
Company is ok to work for... advancement within the company would require one to be friends with their manager or throw others under the bus. The community I work in is extremely micromanaged. I have worked with some good managers, but most are power hungry. Every office is different. Our bonuses have been greatly reduced since I started with the company. – more... Its a good temporary job, nothing I would want to make a career out of. Those who have worked for the company for 10+ years seem very unhappy. – less

Great training for someone new to the field
Assistant Property Manager (Former Employee), Dallas, TX – December 7, 2012
Pros: family feel. awards for great proformance.
Cons: pay on most levels.
Great training leads to great staff. It also leads to automatons. Lincoln can fast track the smart and motovated to property manager but fall short to go beyond there.

Assistant Property Manager (Former Employee), Washington, DC – December 1, 2012
Typical day was to come and check voicemail, email, and inbox for new assignments. Return calls or direct the calls to proper persons. Reply to emails and begin entering new invoices in to system.

Answered all phone lines, filing and copy contracts, checks and invoices. Mailing outgoing correspondences. Coding new invoices, check printing, and mailing – more... out invoice payments. – less

To the point
Regional Building Maintenance mid-Atlantic region (Former Employee), Boston, MA – November 29, 2012
Pros: re-imbursed for travel expenses, lots of nice people, good benefits
Cons: usually takes 10 or more weeks, no advancement, massive favortism
This company has good structure as well as good benefits and reasonable pay. Raises are few and far between though.It does in company charity programs as well as company get togethers and events.It is a pretty good company to work for as long as you have no motivation to progress within the company. The way its structured there is no advancement opportunities. – more... If your ok with that then your job security is pretty good as your only required to have minimal skills and knowledge to get hired. Some training is done in house but varies with quality from site to site. No structure or set guidelines for travelling employees, rules vary from day to day. Lack of communication between management and staff for most part. Depending upon site, manager, personal relationships with management, they will accomodate your personal and work scheduling conflicts pretty generously. Lots of genuinely nice people within the company. Most properties are pretty nice and management caters pretty nicely to the residents of there communities. Of the 30 ought properties I was sent to, based on staff, management, and property itself, Id say 6 worth working at full time. – less

Productive and fun
Leasing Consultant (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – November 27, 2012
a typical workday is busy
I learned that change is good and that there is not much of it there,
the hardest part of the job keeping an alliance with all the of ladies in the office. most enjoyable part is winning there trust and coming back to work and doing all over again.
