Pros

My Regional Manager, my Property Manager, and my direct coworkers were awesome. I also loved my property. Leasing bonuses were good, but there was still a little room for improvement.

Cons

If you have experience elsewhere in Property Management, you will hate working for ECI: -They do everything backwards. -They do not trust their property level employees. -Leasing Agents share one common email address, making it impossible to effectively manage communication with prospects. -Yardi's most basic functions are blacked out and replaced with a form that you need to complete and send to corporate. -Uniforms are expensive and you will be charged for them even if you turn them in after giving proper notice. -PTO is the worst I've seen in this industry(6 days for the first year, taken only after your first 6 months). -Most Corporate Office employees are rude and seem to have no idea what they are doing. They do not effectively communicate with their properties and it's as if they have no idea what actually happens in a leasing office.

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate it, as it gives us valuable insight into how we can continue to grow and improve. Please know that we hear your concerns and have already begun taking steps to address several of the areas you mentioned. We are currently developing a skill-building program designed to help prepare employees for leadership roles, which we plan to launch in March, beginning with our Leadership Series Lunch & Learn. In addition, we introduced ECI Innovates in 2025 to focus on strengthening our technology and overall tech stack, and this remains an ongoing priority. We also strive to keep employees informed through quarterly All-Hands meetings and internal communications, and we aim to highlight our onsite teams whenever possible through initiatives such as our monthly newsletters, Paylocity recognition, and leaderboard. At the same time, we understand the desire for more in-person connection and will continue exploring ways to strengthen engagement across our property teams. We hope this reflects how much we value your perspective and the care we are putting into the topics you’ve raised.
