Home office focus on team work. Brings many different aspects of company under one roof to increase interdepartmental workflow. Allows for floating between departments for greater experience.

Get everything in writing. The property managers lie. The company also uses "site specific" to change their policies. There is a total lack of concern for your health snd safety.
Castle Group is an overall great company, however, depending on the position you are in, you will be walked over as some others prioritize other employees.
Management Staff is not at all(!) what they claim to be!!
Front Desk Attendant (Former Employee) – Fort Lauderdale, FL – January 19, 2019
It didn't take long to realize I was working for a company that 1) her so called "team" didn't respect nor appreciate me 2) didn't take my opinion into account 3) didn't care I was disrespected 4) didn't care I was working under stress because of another employee's negative attitude. I'm so glad I don't waste my valuable time working for a company that completely ignores my concerns!!
The personal and work is mixed even if you try to block it. The job is very easy but the requests are unending and expectations are unrealistic. However it is a good company to start gaining property management experience due to the managers having so much personal experience in the industry.
excellent customer service (Former Employee) – 5757 collins ave – January 1, 2019
On paper, it may sound like a cushy job. A condo is a relatively safe and low-risk property, and all officers are required to do are register incoming vehicles, conduct regular patrols, and monitor CCTV cameras in the guardhouse.
But in fact, the small and cramped guardhouse may just be the safest place in the condo. Outside those four walls, it’s a jungle out there.
Officers are at the beck and call of the hundreds of residents and their properties’ managing agents, even if many of the duties that they are expected to fulfil are not officially part of their job scope. They double up as conflict mediators, technicians, electricians and even cleaners at times.
Castle Group is a great place to work very family oriented. Gives opportunities to grow. Would definitely recommend this company to any friends and relatives.

Property Manager (Former Employee) – Florida – November 11, 2018
hard work dealing with negative people over and over and over, need to be self reliant on order to get anything done. work life balance is hard always working after hours.
Good place to work with a good management and upper management team. They support their employees and invest in thier future with the company A lot of growth potential.
Working at Castle Group was great at first. Some changes took place and I was pushed into my new position and the proper training lacked which cause me to fail. The company overall is great but once you get on someones bad side they give they treat you differently.
Pros
Big lunch room, outside sitting, company events and lunches
Every morning we all get together and discuss our daily duties and motivate each other to do great. Also, we take the time to celebrate someone through the week.
I enjoy the fast paced aspect of my job, it keeps me on my toes. Have learned through out the years to communicate with different people/characters on a daily basis and have lots of patience.

Front Desk Receptionist (Current Employee) – Miami, FL – September 16, 2018
I did not have a great experience with this company, they overworked me (6-7 days a week), they did not let me have days off (only when i called out sick- even then it was an issue), they would become very rude and unprofessional if you did not bend to their will, and overall very inconsiderate. I also did not get a lunch break.
Pros
getting paid, my coworkers
Cons
overworking, inconsideration, unprofessional, no breaks
Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) – West Palm Beach, FL – September 6, 2018
Worked in a tower building and hardest part was dealing with irrate and rude homeowners. Salaries are not really high and there is high turnover. There
Concierge/ Front desk Attendant (Current Employee) – Miami, FL – August 18, 2018
I must say I love where I work. I only have one problem, which is the salary. I don’t feel like concierge and house keeping should be paid the same when the Work load is not the same.
Community Association Manager (Former Employee) – West Palm and Deray beach – July 26, 2018
Most of the days are spent solving resident problems and running a business with a $1.5 to $2.5M budget. Management from Castle is data driven and most boards and properties are looking for superior people skills and problem resolution skills. The hardest part of the job is trying to keep up with all of the detailed planning and reporting requirements internal to the company. The most enjoyable part is to have great relations with the residents and to run the property so that any complaints or issues are minimized and you enhance the satisfaction of the people who live in the property you manage.
Pros
professional, good life balance ideals
Cons
Internal paperwork volume versus staffing on site, gerneral supervision and support
