Prometheus Careers

To some Prometheus is a job or a career. To some Prometheus is the largest private owner of apartments in the Bay Area. To others, it is a client, vendor or customer. But to the 35,720 people who matter most, Prometheus is home. Making our communities more like home should be raison d’être for all work done on behalf of the brand. It’s what makes us different and great and encourages a future neighbor to drive past our competitors and elect to call one of our communities home.

Benefits

Prometheus offers a host of employee benefits that takes compensation well beyond a paycheck. It includes the traditional things (like health care, retirement plan and paid time off) and some you might not expect, like a break on a place to live, to a day off on your birthday. Read on to see what employees who meet our eligibility requirements can look forward to.

Healthcare

Together with each employee, Prometheus shares in the cost of medical, dental and vision care premiums

Medical

Prometheus provides a choice of four health care plans designed to address the needs of employees in California, Washington, Oregon and Utah. Our health benefits are available to full-time employees (30+ hours per week) and are designed to provide you with cost-effective, comprehensive coverage. You can decide which type of plan best meets your needs and choose the health plan that works best for you and your family.

Awards and Recognition

Torch

Prometheus doesn’t just talk about superior service, we live it. So, when we see a fellow Promethean doing something above and beyond the call of duty, we give them our own version of a high five. It’s called the Torch program and it recognizes and rewards, in big and small ways, all the things Prometheans do every day that make us stand out from the riff raff.
