Working for Oakwood has been extremely rewarding as I’ve had the opportunity to work and learn as a team with people from different cultures & generations. One of the most fulfilling parts of my job is the opportunity to meet & build relationships with residents & help them along the way as they move to or from new homes. Oakwood Management has a very bright future and I’m excited to be a part of it.
Beth Kelley
- Property Manager of Beulah Place
Oakwood is a tremendous company to work for and has employed not only myself but also four members of my family for more than a decade. We truly love the connectedness of the employees and feel valued for the work we put in.
Lauren Davidson
- Property Manager of The Kensington
I have been with Oakwood going on my 4th year. Although Oakwood is a leading property management company in Columbus, it still provides a small company feel. Since the company is centralized in Columbus you are easily connected with sister properties and the corporate office. One of the things that attracted me most to Oakwood was the employee tenure, opportunity for growth, and customer service focus showcased at all of our properties.
Cara Cannon
- Regional Manager of New Development
Working for Oakwood has been a lifelong experience for me. What started for me as a relatively small site manager position, developed into so many different experiences and growth opportunities over the years. I think that’s what I’ve liked most about working at Oakwood, I’ve been able to grow and be successful all while staying local to the Central Ohio area. That and knowing I work for and with leadership and owners that have a commitment to what is right and what is good makes for a pretty rewarding career path at the end of the day.
