OUR MISSION

 

Prometheans are here to revolutionize the apartment industry, and we have over 500 of them who choose to call us HOME for their career. At Prometheus we believe the employment relationship is a two way street. Yes, we want you to earn a fair day’s pay for the work you do but, more importantly, we want you to feel that Prometheus is a HOME for your ideas and a career that helps you grow.

 

 

YOUR ROLE AND IMPACT 

 

 

Some companies call them “groundskeepers”, but at Prometheus our Neighborhood Porters do so much more. As a Neighborhood Porter, your role is a constant blend of:

 

• Customer Service – First and foremost, it's your job to make sure our Neighbors feel at HOME, ridiculously well-cared for and genuinely proud to live in our Neighborhoods. Show them tomorrow matters.

• Daily Operations – Every detail counts. Our Neighborhood porters are responsible for the cleanliness, physical appearance and curb appeal of our Neighborhoods. 

As you can tell, you'll be busy, but our Neighborhood Porters love that. Every day brings something a little different and challenges you to grow in new ways. You'll be empowered to solve problems by indulging your creativity and be supported by others who love to do the same. So if you're passionate about people and are looking for the right entry-level opportunity to get you started on a long-term career journey, then come take that first step with us.
