Pros

Most of the co-workers are nice.

Cons

Leadership is horrible, and middle managers just do as they are told. Leadership should come off their hi-horses sometimes and see what's going on in the trenches and try to understand the daily challenges of the operations team. I wish they were REALLY about improving processes and not just giving us lip service. Leadership has taken the company 15 years backwards in terms of processes..I'm sure all to save a buck. They have successfully made every process 10x harder. I wish their mission was to make the lives of their employees easier instead of ALWAYS making work MORE DIFFICULT! It's RIDICULOUS what the company has become

Hello – We appreciate you for taking the time to share this feedback. We are disappointed to hear your concerns, and that you did not feel supported by our corporate team members because a lot of our corporate employees were promoted from on-site positions and are familiar with the day-to-day tasks of our on-site members. We are truly disappointed that this was your experience as a CWS Leasing Consultant. We take pride in the culture we've fostered at CWS, and the feedback you've provided does not seem to align with our company values. We are disappointed to hear you feel this way, and we will share your feedback with leadership. If you would like to provide additional information, please feel free to contact our Human Resources team directly. Thank you.
