(Repost from another sub, edited to be more digestible for the general public lol)
I’m currently a leasing agent at a small slightly ghetto property with MAJOR issues. Our company always does cheap fixes, doesn’t pay contractors, etc. But I have been here for over a year now and have amazing benefits with lots of flexibility (take off whatever days I need every week or get as much OT as I want, leave early for family events, etc). There isn’t much structure in my company so I get a ton of freedom in how I manage my workload and do above average sales a month with 100% commission going to me at $50-100 a piece. I’m currently making $20/hr which is well above market for my city. It’s also only 10 mins from my house and we are M-F. I’ve recently been applying to other positions simply to find somewhere nicer to work. I was offered $21/hr at a slightly larger company for a luxury apartment complex with a lot more residents to manage. There are two leasing agents and two managers, commissions are split equally between the team (they’re very vague on the dollar amount). I read the reviews for the property and they’re pretty solid, nothing remotely bad at all. This is about 25 mins from my house and they’re open 7 days a week. After I accepted the offer my current company countered for $22/hr. I’m now at a standstill because I genuinely love my company and the flexibility, but the cheap fixes, health code violations, and non-payments put me in a rough spot with the residents and vendors. The company has only been dealing with these issues for about 3 months with a bunch of upper management changes, a lot of things are just falling through the cracks because everyone is so new and playing catch up but I really see the potential. Should I just see it through?
TLDR; accepted a leasing job for a little more hourly than my current job at a way nicer property but my company counter-offered even more, should I see through the rough patch they’re going through?
