Maintenance Technician
Great Pay | Great Benefits | Stable Company | Solid Leadership

Remember your last apartment job?

Perhaps you were employee number 958,204,118…

Or maybe you did all the work but got none of the credit…

Possibly even knew more than your boss, but there was no room to grow…

And it could be that it was hard keeping residents happy when things weren’t fixed properly…

Or they just let anyone become a resident, and you had to deal with them…
