Employees say:
"We are a large company, but feel like a mom and pop. Our executives and upper leadership know our teams and take the time to get to know each person, connect and ask for feedback on how we/they can improve. Our voices are heard. We have a seat at the table. And we genuinely care about each other, as people first. Others can say they have this, but we act on it. Camden is the most unique and family oriented culture, where we can be ourselves and be celebrated in doing so!"
Employees say:
"Camden has such a fun culture of storytelling and celebrating! We celebrate everything, big and small—celebrating company milestones and people milestones. Also unique to Camden is our senior executives and leaders are so down to earth, approachable and accessible. When we have skits or lip syncs, we have so much fun even with senior leaders—there are no titles when it comes to practicing and having these amazing, shared experiences. It's magical!"
Employees say:
"Everything about this company makes it special! The most special part is that you get to be your most authentic self every single day and are celebrated for it! Lots of companies talk about being there for their employees and creating an environment where people can be happy, but very few follow through with it. Camden is always willing to go the extra mile with resources, opportunities to connect with peers and coworkers, and just providing leaders with a chance to change people's lives!"
Executives say:
"People genuinely care. Everyone is so welcoming from the get go. This is the only company I've worked for that consistently shows its appreciation for employees. There always seems to be some fun event happening. Leadership is intentional about creating a fun and welcoming space for everyone. Senior leadership (VPs and above) are very hands on but not in a way where they're micromanaging. Rather, they're curious to learn about the reality of day-to-day operations and how improve processes, reduce friction, make life easier for employees, etc."
Employees say: "What makes Camden unique is the amount of opportunities that are given. If you feel you are wanting a career change such as maintenance to leasing, they are willing to help you make that change and give you all the resources possible to help you succeed. The amount of support that is given by everyone is the reason I am still here today with Camden. They really value you as a worker, and you are not just a 'number' to them!"

Employees say:
"Camden is a big company with a small town humbleness that trickles down from Senior Level Ownership. They value and respect each and every one, as person and a team member. They want everyone to succeed. Again, this is a trickle down affect that comes from good hearted business men and woman. I'm so very proud to say I work for Camden and have felt this way for the past 13 years I have been here. I'm grateful for the values Camden embraces, they are completely in alignment with my beliefs."

"What makes Camden a Great Place to Work is their commitment to making every day meaningful and fun. I am a returning employee, and every day I wake up grateful that I work in a stress-free environment, with a boss and team who truly care about me, value me, and trust me to do the job I was hired to do."
Camden named board diversity a key priority back in 2009, which has translated into a board that’s one of the most inclusive in commercial real estate today—50% BIPOC and 30% female. When the company began expanding its DEI structure in 2020, it formed an advisory council that’s currently 53% female and 59% people of color.
As a big player in Texas’s regional commercial real estate scene, Camden strives to bring positive change to Houston: Last spring, Camden broke ground on a new expansion to the Houston Area Women’s Center, which annually houses thousands of women, children, and families escaping sexual assault, domestic violence, and sex trafficking.
Camden has also built 10 new properties providing 1,521 homes for New Hope Housing, an organization offering affordable housing to at-risk individuals such as those with physical or cognitive challenges, seniors, veterans, and the formerly homeless. Camden at present has three New Hope properties under construction for an additional 417 homes, and three more in the pipeline. Last year, Camden matched all donations to New Hope up to $30,000.
