We appreciate you taking the time to write a review and are very concerned with your comments, as they in no way reflect Windsor’s culture or what we strive to achieve in our workplace. Windsor has zero tolerance for any discriminatory behavior, as well as offering bonuses or any compensation for false positive reviews. We want to be able to address these issues directly and encourage you to reach out to HR at HR@gid.com to discuss them.

Pros

I had the opportunity to interview and be offered positions with multiple different property management companies before accepting my position at Windsor, and after being with the company for a few months now, I know I made the right choice. From the start, I was impressed with Windsor’s hiring process. It is evident that they take it very seriously (4-5 interviews for an “entry level” job). This is because they truly hire from within. I have witnessed multiple different promotions already, one being why the position I applied for was open. They really invest in their employees and their growth. The training I have received and constant on-going training have been FANTASTIC! I had the opportunity to go to Massachusetts for hands on training as well, and already planning to again soon. Not only that, but they send their experts in different categories (software, customer service, etc.) to your onsite location to train with you all day. The regional trainer flew out of Boston to train with me one on one for two whole days! They really know how to make you feel special. They also pair you up with a mentor for your first 6 months that you constantly meet with to make sure you are on track for success. Everyone I have met within the company is truly AWESOME. I have never been at a company where I have met some of the most genuine, fun, and caring people. The culture here is not overly bureaucratic and job titles really don’t mean much, your input and suggestions matter and are taken into consideration. Many employees here have been with the company for 10+ years which is unheard of in the property management industry where turnover is very high. This was a huge selling point for me and why I ultimately chose to accelerate my career in the industry with Windsor. The salary and benefits were also highly competitive. I plan to stay with the company for a very long time considering there is room for growth.

Cons

Little to no cons that are outside of the industry standards. I wish Windsor had more properties in the metropolitan area/central jersey.

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
