Let me start by saying I've had good experiences living in Collier company apartments. However, my time trying to work there was terrible. After passing a drug test, background check, and waiting two weeks for the result to get back to me, Nicole from the HR department contacted me saying that I was ineligible for hire because I did not do the drug test the year before when I applied. I had a good reason for not doing it, which I told her, and she said that she would ask her supervisor and get back to me.

I called her Thursday and Friday of that week and she did not respond. I left a voice message Friday. I had to call her again Monday to get a response and she told me that she already contacted the apartment I applied to and told them to hire someone else. Instead of communicating with me she went and told my hiring manager not to hire me, but she said she would talk to her supervisor about getting another position for me. So I guess I was eligible but she didn't know what to do?

I wish there was better communication within upper management and that the HR person has more help answering tough questions since it appears they need it. I no longer have any desire or time to work for this company, but I do hope the best for you as I have had good experiences living there.

If you are looking to live somewhere in Gainesville, the Collier companies have many good employees that are superb. Getting a job might be tumultuous as it was for me.
