Additional Culture Details
Through inclusive educational programs, philanthropic opportunities, and creating fulfilling opportunities for the residents they serve, United Group has established a wonderful place to work for all of their employees.
United Group consistently works to make our communities a better place to live and work. Employees look forward to supporting families in need during the holiday season with generous donations to Toys For Tots, Pajama Promise, and the Equinox, Inc. Thanksgiving Community Dinner. They also participate in several Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and Go Red For Women events, as well as cook meals at the Ronald McDonald House, and help build local homes with Habitat For Humanity.
The company is a strong proponent of furthering employee’s education and skill levels. They offer discounted prices for the Institute of Real Estate Management education classes and networking events. They will also provide tuition reimbursement for necessary graduate school classes.

United University, which was created in 2016, offers training and tools to motivate, promote and support employee development and organizational effectiveness. The curricula are designed to meet individual needs and objectives for overall success. Employees can pursue an Associate’s Degree, Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree, and a PHD. They are eligible for a bonus after earning each degree.
The SUN® (Senior Umbrella Network) Program and the Live.Learn.Relax Program are two initiatives that are offered at United Group’s independent senior, and student housing communities. These programs provide residents with events and activities that promote a healthy lifestyle and robust social life. It’s fulfilling for United Group employees to know the residents at their properties are living happy and healthy lifestyles.
United Group also encourages a healthy lifestyle for their employees. Every year, the company hosts a health and wellness fair at a local park in the Capital Region for its employees. The fair is a great opportunity to learn more about nutrition and exercise from the experts at Blue Cross Blue Shield, and enjoy a day of hiking, yoga, and other fun activities.
Lastly, the company is very transparent when discussing expectations with their employees. Every year, department managers conduct performance reviews with their employees; highlighting their strengths and goals for the coming year.
