When Amy Gross stepped into her role as Princeton Property Management President and CEO in 2022, she set out with a vision: to make Princeton the best place to work. She understood that when employees feel heard, valued, and supported, it leads to exceptional results for clients and positive experiences for residents. So, for the past four years, one of our core focuses at Princeton has been to create a culture where team members are respected, valued, and genuinely excited to come to work. We’re proud to announce that all that hard work has paid off, as Princeton has been recognized as one of Portland Business Journal’s Best Places to Work for 2026!
A Workplace Where Employees Can Thrive
At the core of building the Best Place to Work was creating a foundation where every team member had the support and tools they needed to succeed. On top of comprehensive benefits, we’ve implemented policies and programs that encourage professional and personal growth for all team members:
- Flexible scheduling, family-friendly leave programs, and wellness resources that support a healthy work-life balance.
- Open communication pathways at all levels through one-on-ones, open-door policies, employee surveys, and leadership accessibility that create space for ongoing feedback and help employees feel heard and supported.
- Career development programs, mentorship, and ongoing education opportunities that help employees build rewarding, long-term careers.
A workplace where employees feel valued and supported doesn’t just impact their career; it creates a ripple effect that extends far beyond the office. Satisfied employees come to work excited to provide exceptional care and service that creates thriving communities that residents are proud to call home, ultimately boosting occupancy and asset value and securing a sustainable return for property owners.
Creating a Winning Culture
Culture isn’t created through policy; it’s created by people. People who communicate with clarity and kindness. People who collaborate to solve problems. People who serve one another just as well as they serve our clients and residents. Creating the best place to work where everyone can thrive wasn’t built by one person, but by each and every team member who chooses to live out our Princeton values daily.
This recognition is made possible thanks to the incredible, hardworking people who make up the Princeton team: the maintenance technicians who go the extra mile, the leasing professionals who welcome residents home, the community managers who lead with compassion, and the home office team members who ensure operations run smoothly across all departments. We’re so grateful to our Princeton team, clients, and residents for making Princeton Property Management the best place to live, work, and build a legacy.
