Upper management preventing necessary maintenance. They have not had a manager for a long time and I was brought in to clean it up. I provided evidence of dangerous maintenance needed. Once I had to present the bid or evidence a second time, I was out! They are left with a skeleton crew again. I was used! Every management company I have EVER worked for were at least professional and courteous except SMI. Owner: Go visit unexpectedly. Check out all the notes of maintenance techs. They have no one to balance it out! Sub-par work at best. I would have loved to be a part of revising an old management company into what the new company tried to do! So unprofessional, lack of guidance and left to 3 people to manage all Albany/Corvallis and NOT enough qualified maintenance people that know their job! I'm embarrassed I listened to them. I just got a raise, increased PTO for 2026 and I'm not working out. I consider myself lucky and have options (always).
No one wants to come to Albany. Now I know why! read more
