Great culture and benefits, but low pay rates - Leasing Agent Monarch Investment and Management Group Employee Review

*Supported by upper management, all the way up to the owners. They showed their appreciation regularly with things like the annual fish fry which sounds simple but it's actually a nice weekend away from work & you're welcome to bring your family; to boot reimbursement for maintenance employees working outside in tough weather doing snow removal. Also rewarding outstanding employees with company shares, and the President's Club week of recognition & training for outstanding managers. In my time there, a housekeeper who left to persue another opportunity was welcome back in a leasing role, showing they think outside the box & are willing to give you a chance! It's been about 12 years since I left to persue another opportunity & I've interviewed with them a few times since then. I continue to watch for opening & know it will happen in the future, when the time is right. Would love to work with them again. *They treat their residents well & are respectful of industry standards & fair housing standards.

Can't think of any. Very fair employers in the five-ish years that I worked for them.

Strong team relationships at the property level Valuable experience in operations, leasing, resident relations, and crisis management Fast-paced environment that teaches adaptability Opportunity to wear multiple hats and build management skills

Increased pressure and unrealistic expectations after acquisition Frequent operational changes with limited support or training Burnout Communication gaps between corporate leadership and onsite teams Focus shifted more toward metrics than employee or resident experience
