Pros

This was my first full time position out of college, and I felt like I had enough responsibility to make important decisions but was not alone in supporting the building. Large amount of downtime throughout off seasons and day to day, good work life balance until you are on emergency maintenance, and all of the people I worked with were fantastic, including management beyond the property level.

Cons

The job title is leasing professional, but I feel a more apt title would be junior property manager, as most of the work you do involves maintaining positive relationships with current residents. The training videos: a majority are irrelevant and waste time, as a new person to student housing they would be helpful, but it was odd seeing my senior colleagues doing the exact same trainings that I was. I went through an on-site management transition during my time at Yugo and it seemed like the company was ill equipped to handle the loss of the previous leadership staff at the site. The management are all nice people, I just think some way of having a more clear idea of what is actually happening at each property would be very beneficial to all parties in the case of a management transition or otherwise.

Pros

There is a lot in motion at Yugo, processes and ways of working have evolved significantly over the past several years. Rather than avoiding that uncertainty, the company embraces it and takes ownership of it, from the interview process through day-to-day conversations. Yugo is clearly focused on what’s next, and I genuinely believe it has the ability to build something unique in an industry where many leaders claim to have everything figured out, solicit feedback through lengthy focus groups, and then either disregard what was shared or deliver outcomes that bear little resemblance to the discussion. While the company is experiencing growing pains, the culture it is intentionally shaping is what will ultimately set it apart and drive long-term success.

Cons

The most stressful part of working at Yugo is the constant change. Processes, expectations, and ways of working are still evolving, which can create ambiguity and require a high level of adaptability day to day. That uncertainty can be challenging, particularly for those who prefer clearly defined structures or established playbooks. However, rather than avoiding these growing pains, Yugo acknowledges them and actively works through them. The company is open about where it is headed, receptive to feedback from its people, and focused on building something better rather than defaulting to “how it’s always been done.” While the pace and change can be demanding, the culture being intentionally developed, and the genuine openness to new ideas, are what ultimately make the experience worthwhile and position the company for long-term success.
