Why Is Fairfield The Best Place To Work?

Ask a new hire why they chose a career at Fairfield and the answer might very well be “because of the feeling of a welcoming environment.”

“AMAZING company… We LOVE Fairfield!”
– Chris Kiessling, Project Manager, Affordable Housing via LinkedIn

Or, the answer might be because of the “prevailing theme of tenure,” which HR hears regularly. Many of our associates have celebrated more than 10, 15, and even 20 or more years with Fairfield, and it’s a testament to our welcoming, inclusive culture that is open to new ideas, promotes growth, and puts people first. We don’t just list our 5 core values of Integrity, Mutual Respect, Passion, Transparency, and Trust, we live them authentically every day!

The People Make Fairfield Great

Ask tenured associates the same question and the answers are similar: “The atmosphere and the people keep me around.” Being on a team with so many hard-working people and watching them grow is “an opportunity.” Some would agree it’s a necessity for work satisfaction.

“I am so honored to work with such a great group of people.”
– Brett A. Stevens, Vice President, Property Management via LinkedIn

When it comes to success, the Fairfield brand speaks for itself because of the people behind it. Our associates know the high-quality product we deliver and the values we embody to achieve our goals—that’s what keeps them interested and inspires retention. You’re never just a number with Fairfield, you’re an integral part of our mission to create better living for better lives. And that mission doesn’t just apply to residents; we offer a robust array of training programs to help our associates grow and develop their careers and personal lives.
