Pros

Great at promoting women and people with atypical work histories. Some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Cons

Before I start: The reviews here are not representative of the whole story -- the company specifically asks certain people to provide reviews (I was personally asked to review the company, and waited until I left due to fear of retaliation if I posted an honest post). COVID response: Even when cases were at their highest in Denver, they still required at least 50% of people in the office. Emails were sent out to the Home Office saying that “our numbers” of people in office needed to be higher and that people were expected to come in. If someone in the office tested positive, they would only alert the people who had meetings with that person; the whole office was not notified when someone tested positive in the office. VERY old school: Management pays attention to when you arrive at the office and leave. If you are working from home (which is only permitted because of COVID; they strongly are anti-WFH), they will check your Skype status. It is very micro-managing. Even though they do a great job promoting women, an old boys vibe permeates throughout the company. Many managers (director and above) are ineffective and comments from them can be unprofessionally direct. Management: Management does not provide constructive feedback; multiple times I have seen people thrown under the bus in meetings by their managers. Passive aggressiveness is common. Management makes every bump in the road feel like a crisis. There is high turnover at this company and poor morale. HR mediation is common, yet rarely produces conflict resolution. Benefits are there, but are not great, especially given the competition in the area.

Pros

There are none to speak of.

Cons

YES! Communities is like a cult. Most of the upper management working there are leftover from the former owner and should definitely be eliminated. They do not know anything about how to run an actually Community. They never ask to learn about how to run a community. This makes them out of touch and the company is left with a high turnover. I can only say once I was gone and began working for another company, that I realized it really has a cult like mentality. It’s always the same thing. Too many teams meeting that take up time and do nothing. Upper management will basically threaten your your job if you don’t join in on their dated way of thinking. They really do need to look at all management there for a makeover. This is all Regional management, Division management, and Field trainers. I think things would change if the higher ups looked into this. There are so many laws being broken, yet it continues because most want to keep their click jobs and favoritism is how you do this. Just watch news segments about this company. Read reviews, look at how poor they are. We are not disgruntled, we are telling the truth. The generic response is by a bot and nobody will actually care about any poor review written. They will simply hire someone else, not train them, let them “sink or swim”, and take their pound of flesh.
