I’ve been on both sides: lots of reports versus once a month as a CM.
I will say that if you didn’t spend your time writing reports, you’ll spend it dealing with other things that will be time consuming such as technology issues, make ready process, new policy being rolled out without trial/test which consistently creates problems onsite. Residents demands/midrise highrise also play a huge factor in not always getting my job done before 6pm.
To top it off, if you live in Texas, the mother of nature won’t leave you alone. I am fine being short-staffed (it’s not uncommon in our industry) as long as operational process is streamlined and transparent communication between onsite and corporate.
