Pro: Inexpensive apartments.
Cons: You get what you pay for.

I leased with Barac company for about two years at two different apartments. My first apartment was pretty decent, especially for the price. No issues with bugs or mice and the neighborhood was quiet. The building itself however, was not very well maintained. I eventually transferred after only a few months to a different apartment complex that was closer to my daughter's school. Kudos to Barac company for allowing me to break my lease and do that without any penalty fees.

Next apartment was the exact opposite. The building was well kept but I had several issues with the actual apartment for the year and a half that I lived there. Noticed my first bug the same day I moved in. After multiple exterminator visits and some home treatments I'd bought myself, I managed to slow them down but never completely got rid of them and somehow, a mice entered my place about a month or two before I finally got out of there. I had a leak in my bathroom that I immediately reported to them and because of their slow action, the entire ceiling literally caved in a few days later. Walls were very thin and I constantly heard my neighbors upstairs. Had to deal with two elementary school age boys constantly wrestling and playing as loud as humanly possible way too early in the morning/late at night on a daily basis. Once they finally moved I had about three months of peace while the upstairs apartment was vacant until a new couple moved in and I had to listen to the guy occasionally beating his girlfriend. Great.

Overall, I'd recommend Barac company to someone starting off with their first apartment and a low budget. But keep in mind that, as I stated before, you get what you pay for.
