We like having fun so much that we’ve made it one of our core values: camaraderie!

Every quarter, we select the top performing associates at our apartment properties – we refer to these associates as our “Circle of Excellence” winners. To recognize the winners, each region holds a market-wide celebration for our local associates. Twice a year, the celebrations are big events that are attended by almost all of our local associates – as many as 500 people! It’s a big deal!

Other times of the year, we also have a lot of informal activities that promote having a good time. While the activities vary depending on whether you work on-site or at one of our offices, here’s an idea of what to look forward to:

• Holiday parties
• Birthday celebrations
• Breakfast, lunch and dinner outings
• Pizza parties
• Professional baseball games
• Volunteer activities
• Bowling
• White water rafting
• Golfing
• Fishing trips
• Ice cream socials
• “Bring your kids to work” day
• Family picnics at the zoo
• 4th of July picnics
• “Field day” afternoons
• Halloween parties and parades for our associates’ children
• Halloween costume contest for our associates (hey, we’re all kids at heart!)
