Pros

I really enjoy working for Windsor. They really care about your employees and train you extremely well. The benefits are amazing, to make up for the not so great hourly pay. The commission is really good too though so if you work hard you can earn a good amount of money. Yearly raises and opportunity for advancement, especially since they are acquiring new properties/building new ones all the time! If you like working in Property Management, you'll love Windsor! So many leasing incentives and prizes for good mystery shops ($100 for 100% which isn't hard to do)

Cons

You'll work every weekend till you are the property manager. Some of the larger properties who have several leasing consults can have a weekend off a month but it isn't possible where I am. But if you don't mind working weekends the hours are not too bad, and they're shorter on the weekend. Also, when it is a slow time of the year you won't get as much in commission but you can still get a lot!

Pros

Wonderful company. They do a great job hiring smart people. They focus on building camaraderie and giving employees the tools to be productive. There are many tenured employees which tells you how the employees feel about working for Windsor.

Cons

Weekend work - I wish there was a way to split weekend days off to avoid working every weekend.

Pros

You don't need a degree to start career as Leasing Consultant, great upper management and co-workers. Amazing teamwork not just within one office, but with sister properties, divisional management as well as regional management. Communication with upper management is readily available, lots of engagement and encouragement. The benefits packages available are great and 401k matching. $500 bi-annual gift cards for work clothes. $75 for each lease. $1000 employee referral bonus. 20% rent discount for living on a Windsor property. Marketing flexibility; properties can be creative with marketing efforts. Lots of training for new hires, Manager in Training Programs, required classes for budgeting, marketing, sales, fair housing, etc. Many opportunities to create lasting impressions on customers and residents; move-in gifts, resident events, meeting new potential clients every day. Lots of recognition, shout-outs, rewards, competitions. Bi-annual rallies with gift cards, rallies and reward ceremonies (top performers, employees of the month). Very informative Intranet with all company details, requirements, directives, etc. Fitness reimbursement program. Tuition Reimbursement program after 1 year of employment. Lots of understanding and room for improvement, it's okay to make mistakes and lots of opportunities for growth

Cons

Working full hours on the weekend Lots of tech support issues and glitches with programs required to use (too many platforms that all have different pieces of information) Unfair standards when comparing properties (top leasers and lease-ups, 100 unit complexes vs. 400 unit complexes, lease-up properties have more opportunities than older properties) Old school dress code - dress shirt, matching suit (blazer & bottoms) Maintenance teams are often short-staffed and overworked, especially on the weekends
