The Douglaston Companies

A day in Douglaston Companies consist of a combination of both fast and slow pace. In the morning is typically for meetings to see how the job is going. Conference calls, paper work, and communication with trade foremen. 
Working in Douglaston I have expanded my knowledge about the field, scheduling deliveries, scheduling meeting, and has made me really see that sometimes you can have awesome co-workers!
The hardest part of the job is leaving because of lack of work.
The work environment is great

Great Company to Work for The Owner is a class act and the best boss I ever had
If you get a chance to work for this family-run business accept it quickly.
The New President for Clinton is a stand-up guy who is very supportive and leads by example, truly a great leader.
The HR office has to be the best in the country, She is excellent at what she does and I can't imagine there being anyone better than her.

Titles are handed out like tic tacs. Insecure upper management. They are afraid of new & knowledgeable talent. The way the company is heading, they will need to get rid of the dead weight if they want to reach the levels of their competitors. The next generation knows; I am sure they will get rid of the relics. Unless you land in specific divisions this is not the place to start your career Aim for Construction, Finance or the City office.

Being an employee for about 5 years here I have worked on 2 levels. It's a place based of favoritism. If they dont like you,  your chance to move up is very slim. They micro manage. There is no leadership, there is no support and this company has the highest turn around I have ever witness in my whole career of working. If there is a high turn around at a company that's a red flag to reconsider.

Worked in one of their manhattan properties and executives who know noting about managing and building issues want to control you as a puppet. They aim to manage from main office while staff know what is needed by actually being in building. Full of nepotism in high ranks so complaints are swept under rug. It's a family first atmosphere.

Gained experience on the day to day operations of many different aspects of running a 380 unit residential building.  Enjoyed the interaction with contractors and vendors.  Learned how to handle different building related issues such as elevator malfunction, boiler maintenance, plumbing and apartment appliance repairs.

The company allows nuisance residents to get involved with inside company decisions and policies. There is no boundaries between tenants and management. 

There is a reason why there is such a high turnover and most leave  the company... Its a shame because the good hard working employees are the first  to get abused from the arrogant friends and family that can do no wrong

Basic task such as placing work orders, help residents with daily needs.

I learn that networking is everything.

Management could be better.

Co-workers ain't team players.

The hardest part was not getting my suit stolen.

Most enjoyable part was entraining residents and guest.

I have been an employee for the last 12 years. I was able to grow within the company and was able to secure a managerial position. Everyone is friendly. Supervisors are wonderful. Great company to work for. I love the fact that they are able to work with you.
