Marquette has taught me the real value of work. Before Marquette, work was just about "trading time for money". At Marquette, it's about accomplishment, fulfillment and making a difference in people's lives. During the past nine years, Marquette has also given me the opportunity to create my own challenges, take risks without fear, make my own decisions and operate my properties as if I were the real owner.

The people at Marquette are hardworking, fun, innovative and always looking at creative ways to improve the properties and the company. Marquette's culture is entrepreneurial, fun-filled and places a high value on creating a healthy balance between family and work.

Most important, Marquette is a family of extraordinary people that care about you as an employee, as a person, and as a friend!

"A Constant Renaissance"

Working at Marquette is like being a part of a great Renaissance. No other company I have ever worked for has the constant "rebirth", re-creation and redefining of their properties, resident services and the way they manage. Marquette's environment almost demands constant reawakening and perpetual improvement of what we do and how we do it. This culture allows for a tremendous amount of innovation, creativity, self worth and personal pride.

Not only does Marquette allow you to have ideas and share them; they also build upon your ideas and enable you to be an integral part of that process. It's a company dedicated to employee training, development and personal growth and makes the process fun and exciting. As a Marquette employee, I know that I am valued, that I have a unique opportunity to honestly express myself and that I am part of a great team of accomplished people!!

Marquette is the only property management company I've experienced that invests time into people personally, helping employees develop into something more. Who I am today in nothing like who I was when I started with Marquette seven years ago. I used to be shy, but they saw something in me and brought it out. Now I am confident enough to talk with anyone from corporate executives to any valued client who walks through our doors. I have developed my speaking skills and am able to make important decisions that affect the lives of our residents without fear. Marquette is a great place to work because they truly value their employees and sincerely try to develop the potential in each of us.

I have watched with great pride as Marquette has become the true innovator in our apartment market. I also know that this happens in every market they go into. This is not done solely by our Staff Group in Chicago but by encouraging ALL employees to share their ideas, develop new ways of doing things and improve, improve, improve!!! That's why it's so exciting to work for Marquette. They are constantly changing things for the better and staying ahead of the rest of the market.

Nicole, Property Manager, Indiana

I've been in property management for over twenty years and worked for four other Management Companies before joining Marquette. I came from a culture of layers of supervisors and not being allowed to make a difference no matter how hard I tried. When I joined Marquette, I was astonished at how they were all about making a difference not only in the residents' lives, but in the employees' lives too. I now have the opportunity to share what I know about the business with fellow employees. I get such a high watching people around me flourish and know that I had a part in that.

I have really loved working for Marquette for the past seven years. It's a great working environment that makes us feel more like a family than a group of peers. I have grown individually and have been able to accomplish things that I did not think I could achieve. Working with "family members" is the best way I know to spend so much time each day. Working for Marquette is, by far, the best move I ever made!

Marquette truly understands the need to have the entire company "on board" with its vision, its goals, and its core values. They are able to achieve this by investing time and energy with employees through MSAM (Marquette School of Advanced Management), by quarterly workshops for Accountants, Concierge, Leasing and Maintenance and by Leadership Community for Property Managers and Maintenance Supervisors. This is a company that realizes that its employees, not its buildings, are its most important asset and that a company's vision can only be achieved with and by the employees, not despite them!!

Susan, Property Manager, Illinois

When I first started at Marquette, I was very skeptical that Marquette was everything they said they were about-- like empowerment, fun, growth, education, training, decentralization of management. I have not yet in my five years of employment with Marquette seen them go back on anything they've said they would do for me, or what they are about. You now have an employee for life.
