Pacific Quorum Properties Management reviews

This position is hyped to sound like a great, fun-loving, culture forward place, but in reality, training is very poor, and the expectations and volume of work are insane. The environment is very toxic. Be prepared for managers to step on your career to advance on their own.You get blamed for things that aren’t even your fault but manager's. On top of that Managers don’t have much experience or training in dealing with people, so unprofessional and unjust, that is why turn over is very high.They don’t care how hard you work, they don't appreciate it. If you make a mistake they will make you feel worthless and find a reason to lay you off. They don’t understand it is not beneficial for the company to be hiring and training so many people every single month. They are very used to it.I regret I had not read these reviews before applying to this company.

Pros

5 annual PQ days

Cons

No staff appreciation

Stereotype management, high turnover, no work/life balance

N/A (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 4 October 2022

Pacific Quorum Vancouver office is utterly stereo type in the management, hard to maintain the clients when they can't commit to providing the service timely, high turnovers of the employees, no work/life balance at all, and lack timely communications with the clients.

Heavy Workload and turn over very high. Accounting Management very poor.

Property Accountant (Former Employee) - Kelowna Office - 6 February 2021

Working for this company as a Property Accountant was always very challenging because there was not support to new employees and no time to learn new tasks properly. Portfolio was more than 30 accounts including Financials statements, Bank Rec, preparing budgets, tons of emails, phone calls and taxes. Accounting Management was very poor and unprofessional.There was no room to grow and the salary was very low, no increases, no bonus just promises. Turnover very high.

Pros

5 sick days- PQ days

Cons

Property Accountant (Former Employee) - Kelowna, BC - 1 February 2021

Very stressful environment. Does not respect employees. Heavy work loads. High turn over in staff. Specialized industry that deals with Strata Property council members who can be very demanding with high expectations.

No support and poor management

Strata Manager (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 5 March 2020

Owner is all about the dollars and not the clients and doesn't care about his staff. Over worked and underpaid. Not a team environment and very little support

Enjoyable enough, no room for growth

Accounts Payable/Office Assistant (Former Employee) - Kelowna - 9 November 2017

The company has some great benefits and most of the employees are great to work with. Some disconnect between head office and the other offices, does cause some issues.
