Glad we're out

We were assistant managers at an apartment complex here for a few months. Lets just say it was the job from "a hotter place". Very difficult to work with the micro-managing (and sometimes unethical) owners. Anyhow, they just went through another set of assistant managers in less than 3 weeks. Following is the job description they've posted at the Housing Office. Sound like a job you'd like?

I've highlighted my favorite parts. As background, we got free rent, cable, internet, phone, and electricity in exchange for 10 hrs/wk in the office and after-hour phone calls every other week. Schane did maintenance 10 hrs/month at $7.50/hr.


Assistant Management Position opening at ******** Village Apts.

Assistant Manager Duties include, but are not limited to, and are subject to change:

Weekly Clean Checks
White Glove Clean Checks at the end of semesters
Check-In, Check-Out
Picking up Trash and Maintaining the Property (3 times/week)
Answering Phones after Hours 7 nights/wk
Lock/Unlock the Lounge (6 am and curfew)
Snow Removal (as needed)
Lawn Mowing (2 times/ week in summer)
Maintenance Work (must have previous experience, be self-motivated, and hard-working) 10 hours/week + more during breaks
Misc Activities such as Movie Nights, Breakfasts, etc.
Anything that the Manager needs help with

Compensation for Work Includes:

3 bedroom apartment, utilities included, furnished, internet, no phone service provided. Across the street from campus. Valued at $700. It was worth $600 when we were living there.
Starting pay is $7.50/hour and $8.50/night for answering phones. Hourly wages will be deducted from the rent. The remainder of the rent will be paid at the first of each month.

We are looking for a fun couple that knows how to work and can communicate well with upper management and the residents. ******** Village is a large complex. This is a hard job. You will put in several hours a week in work. But it is also rewarding. The residents are very nice and the managers and owners are great to work with.

Please take resumes and a family photo, in person, to ****manager*****. Pretty sure they don't want a couple with babies or expecting babies - clever way to discriminate.
