MAA Employer Reviews

They got me with the smiles and the corporate philosophies. Great concepts but surely every property level situation is not the same. I learned quickly that the culture is one that requires you to be with the company for at least 10 yrs to be respected. If your manager has been with the company forever, they are automatically part of the " inner circle" – more... and they can operate the affairs of the property how ever they feel and be just fine. Just make sure everything looks neat and clean, hang a few balloons when "Memphis" comes to visit and all is well. Feed back is not respected or appreciated.
Very dated in their corporate philosophy; fresh ideas are not embraced. There is a " band aid" process for broken property level practices. Low team morale. Horrible Ensembles! Very very dated in their approach to sales and marketing. Collection process makes it impossible to work with residents. Forget getting a bonus!
But if you stay long enough and nod and smile you will do just fine. Leave your creativity, imagination and drive for success at home; no room for change.
Highly disappointing. – less

There is much phone work and face-to-face interaction at this job. Management is helpful and has an open-door policy. There is a handful of personnel which work together exclusively as a team on multiple projects. The hardest part of the job is accommodating the overall community with it's different wants and needs. I like being apart of the full-cycle – more... of process of leasing. There are many processes and orders to the processes. Organization and people-skills is a must. – less

MAA is a great company the South region is the problem and needs a complete make over. I was fooled with the good benefits and the smiles from the start. But this company is just like any other property management company. THe company as a whole has great values, but there are different values at each property depending on who your surpervisor is and – more... what her values and morales are. Compensation was average and they have a weird evaluation policy that makes it hard for you to get a raise. There is good job security I never worry about my job, because I love doing what I do, although advance is a issue. This is something that definetly needs to be worked on. It's all about who you know and you better know the right people in your region. As far as managment it really depends on what region you work within. I have a great work/life balance, this I love. – less

On my typical day I come in at 7 AM to start cleaning the office and opening up. Then around 8 o'clock my supervisor, manager, and a coworker come in to start their day, so I head out on a property walk. after I finish my walk I have to water the plants, change trash liners in the public trash-cans, blow leaves, pressure-wash, and make sure the dumpster – more... areas are clean. Some days I get everything done very quickly, so I report to my supervisor who sometimes has maintenance jobs for me to do. Every day usually holds a surprise somewhere.

The hardest part about my job is that I can spend all day on a task that needs to be done, but the next day my work has been completely undone. – less

The company as a whole is OK but my region was not so great. The cultural values that have been put in place were not displayed. Management does not listen to the concerns of the employees. Residents were not treated with respect by upper management at all. A lot of favoritism was evident.

I've really enjoyed working here. Just like all jobs there are some things I'd change, but the list is pretty short...all in all I'd certainly recommend it.
