Bad Company To Work For

Pros

You can learn a lot about Washington real estate laws in any of the roles.

Cons

Management bullies leasing agents: Very unfortunate, but there is a hug power complex with the people in management they like to be domineering and don't care much about the agents. Portfolio managers don't listen to agents concerns and would rather pay you less than what you deserve because they know they can find someone else who can do the job if you're not willing. Lacks multiculturalism and they don't notice until someone brings it up. More inclined to promote individuals based on looks and/or socializing. They don't really care about how good you are, just that you show up for company parties. Vindictive gossip culture - This company is the epitome of "the Seattle freeze" and I'm originally from here. Not enough multiculturalism, the company is severely lacking any different people and different perspectives.

Pros

It was great to feel like they were trying to change up the property management industry from it's corporate counterparts. BT is fresh with innovative strategies. They hire people who really care to make people's living experience at their properties worthwhile which really separates them from the rest. They are generous with when you want to take PTO and have a relaxed work attire, throw awesome HH parties, and the holiday parties are really well thought out.

Cons

BT is growing at a fast pace, but with obtaining more properties I noticed there was a lack of attention to the employee satisfaction on a day-to-day basis. A lot of employees gained more in their work load, but their compensation didn't get any higher from it even after some time. There are several current employees, in my opinion, that should be farther ahead but they don't try to be a part of the "in crowd". It came off like brown-nosing/favoritism allowed someone to get ahead more than their skill sets or work ethic.

Pros

Professional certifications are encouraged and compensated.

Cons

Nepotism is the norm at Blanton Turner. What happens outside of work weighs heavily in shaping decisions around promotion, placement, and career trajectory. Merit and quality of work is nearly meaningless within the social fabric of the company, which has resulted in a shallow office culture that champions obedience (and intoxication). I saw many unbelievable things in my time at BT. After enduring hypocrisy of the highest order, antithetical snark, and sketchy property management practices foisted on to site level workers, the cherry-on-top was a recently promoted company leader making a completely unsolicited, non-consented attempt at sexual contact DURING a company party. You’d read that and think, “you must be kidding!?” Alas, I am not. It happened by the elevator landing outside the front door of their office at the Wash. Shoe Building. Don’t work for this company.
