As a knowledge resource the place is great, namely Grace Hill. As an employment agency the place is a complete joke. You can go months without ever being put on a job. I wish I was joking. I am not. I dont care what they tell you, dont work here unless you have a second job. Due to this I would highly advise that you intentionally allow yourself to be hired as an entry level agent that way they will pay to train you. After that you have Grace Hill to train yourself, get certified, and then put yourself in a marketable position to go off to do bigger and better things. Use this as a stepping stone, not a job. Put it that way and they effectively have just paid you to get a better job. You are the employer and their job is to pay to teach you so you can turn around and make more money for yourself. Not bad eh?
Buckle your seat belts and get ready for an in-depth review of a company you should never work at.The job posting for Advantage Apartments says Leasing Agent. The description lays out all the things a leasing agent does. Great. Im interested. Id like to apply. I get a call for an interview.During the interview, we go on and on about allllllll the things a leasing agent does, and they want to make sure I can handle it. I say yes. Im excited! Id love to be a leasing agent!Once hired, they have mandatory training that goes on for literally days talking about all the things youll do as a leasing agent. Fantastic! So I complete all the training and even volunteer to go through more training than that. Ive listened to maybe 50 hours of lecture on all the things they expect from their leasing agents. This is so exciting! I cant wait for my first day of real work! THEN THAT DAY COMES!Advantage Apartments sends me to a location where I sit and stare at a wall for 8 hours. Almost no customer interactions. Literally NONE of what was discussed in the job posting, at the interview, or during the training, ever happens. Its just me sitting there, in an empty office, alone. Sometimes the phone rings. I answer. Three hours go by. The phone rings again. Wrong number. Okay this is really strange. This is not the job I signed up for. Maybe there was a mistake? I leave that day very disappointed and drained.They send me to another location. This ones a job shadow where Ill be paired up with another Advantage Apartment employee to see how the work is really done! Except no, theres no work. The employee is basically hanging out at work, surfing the net, and besides for some filing here and there, nothing happens. Once again, Im sitting at a desk, staring at a wall for hours and hours. Now Advantage Apartments wants me to fill out a feedback form about the work Ive done so far.Okay, heres my feedback. Im not going to be nasty, hostile, or angry... Im just going to be very honest and explain what Im seeing. I applied to be a leasing agent. Youre not having me do *ANY* of the things we discussed at any point. Im never interacting with customers. Im not showing any rooms. Im not doing anything at all. Im literally sitting at locations until its time to go home. Id like to do some work please, if thats okay.And thats the feedback I gave them. Their response? I should have recorded this phone call because it was classic.They were VERY offended!! How DARE I provide simple feedback that didnt completely consist of only praise and gratitude!! The kid who called me (not saying his name) was so flustered that he contradicted himself no less than 3 times during that call, and his attitude was so unprofessional that I had to stifle myself from laughing more than once at how silly he was being over this. During the call he tells me what AA really needs right now is warm bodies in offices (direct quote.) I asked 4 times if there was any chance I might possibly be an actual leasing agent at some point, and each time the answer was no. He finishes it off telling me how unprofessional I must be, coming from a blue collar background. Well, kiddo, in my view, straight up lying about the job position from start to finish aint exactly the epitome of professionalism either. But okay, I stayed with the company a bit longer while I looked for another job. Which wasnt hard, since as punishment for providing honest feedback, they were only going to assign me 8 hours a week from that point forward.If youre okay being sent to offices where you have utterly nothing to do for 8 hours, and dont mind getting paid while you put your feet up and read a book, then always only ever sending feedback in the form of praise, then AA is the company for you. If you want to be a leasing agent, you should apply literally anywhere else.
Great temp agency! Willing to work with your schedule! They keep me busy and working when I want and let me take time off when I want. :) The office staff are super nice and easy to work with. Great stepping stone to get into a property management career if you want to.
Extremely unreliable. Not very professional, low quality, doesnt respond, little to no value.
They are very easy to work with and experts on multifamily ptoperties
Responsive & flexible!
Love the staff!!
