Good workplace
I have been with FirstService for many years as working as a Resident manager.
This is a good company with good policies and business rules, both for employees and for customers. Basically everything is very clear and if there is some uncertainty and doubt in the new situation, a team of staff is always available to help.

Great place to work if you like managing your time while keeping up with all the challenges coming up
As an independent worker I really like this building manager position as it allows me to manage my time, my family life, while being there to quickly respond to my tenants needs and questions.
The team is great, very good communication and support when you need it.
I highly recommend this company.

Team and Development focused
After starting a FirstService Residential, I noticed straight away how much the company values teamwork, collaboration, and leadership. With many different departments available to assist with training, the environment is very supportive. The priorities are to develop skills to service the community in the best way. As well, the company has a strong focus in their employees well being on every level and resources and benefits are available to address everyone's needs. The upper management is kind. They've developed a fun atmosphere that is very inclusive. They're uplifting and supportive to the employees. They have an extended period of training unlike anything I've seen elsewhere and they work really hard not to overwhelm new team members to keep good retention and happiness in the workplace. After seeing the many resources available to the teams and the clients, I think FirstService Residential is a great place to work.

Best Property Management Company To Work For
I have previously worked at another large property management company for 6 years when I made the switch to FSR 2 years ago and what a HUGE difference ! This is a large company but don't let that fool you. Strata Managers have only 7-8 buildings MAX.. Flexible work environment & relaxed dress code. People here are like family and everyone is ready to support another when they struggle. The management has an open door policy and allow you to operate independently as long as you do the work that we are all required to do as an SM. In other words, you are not micro managed. Your opinion is valued and there are daily get togethers - we call it First Call, where management reviews our core values and how they relate to the work we do. Honestly, I would never look at another company. I found a home where I'm part of a team.

16 May 2020Thank you for your review. We take pride in providing a supportive team environment where our Strata Managers have the tools they need to be successful and deliver exceptional service to our Councils and Residents. Thank you for being part of our team here.
Great place to work.
Depending on the building you manage/work at, things can be very mellow or can be extremely difficult. Management, for the most part, is excellent, upper management can sometimes be questionable. The company culture promotes collaboration and sharing experiences, but it depends on if others take it seriously or not. Overall, a great place to work that provides a fair salary, and opportunities to advance.
Great property management company with lots of support
I enjoy the office environment, friendly co-workers. Lots of flexibility and opportunities to grow. The leadership team and HR are approachable and supportive.

Great Management Team and Colleagues
Highly recommend if you are serious about pursuing a career in property and strata management, great on boarding and training program you will not find elsewhere. Experienced managers can count on a proactive and approachable management team that is continually striving to provide effective solutions, individual support, efficient internal processes/procedures and continuing education for managers to keep current and progressive in a challenging industry.

Great Place to Work
FirstService Residential provides a team approach to strata management and follows a great workplace culture. The most difficult aspect is managing volume of email.
