Wellington Advisors

Starting out working for Wellington was a run of the mill apartment maintenance job well that didn't last long after just a short time I came to realize this company is no more than a marketing smoke screen. Lets start out with equipment to perform the simplest repair Wellington didn't even own a ladder or any other type of tools to perform property maintenance. I'm not talking about hand tools that any maintenance person should have but tools like   shovels,rakes,wheel borrows,I'm talking none!!! This company completely relies on their employees to supply them with tools and I'm sure that little fact is never brought up when talking to property owners. Second reason any maintenance person worth their salt should run from working for this company, after your hired and agree on an hourly rate you can be sure after a few weeks your going to have a 2nd property to help out on then a 3rd and so on and before you know it you will be doing 3 times the amount of work you were hired for but no more pay. This is business as usual at Wellington ask anyone that has worked for them. 3rd and the most important is the upper management at Wellington are liars and backstabbers that will smile and tell you how they love their employees to your face but the fact is they are the coldest, most ruthless,calculating and vindictive group of people you don't ever want to meet. So do yourself a favor and stay away from this company they have gone thru 20+ maintenance people in the last few years and the law of averages say thats just to many. If you add in all the property managers that have come and gone that number goes way up.

The work is very easy! If you can do reports, lease, handle residents and vendors all at once you can handle it. The problem is that you will have one maintenance person for multiple properties and they end up burning them out. Then they wonder why they up and quit! They owe lots of vendors and they don't want to do business with them anymore. They make a leasing agent a property manager in a few months and then give them multiple properties with minimal pay. The regional managers are inexperienced property managers that were just thrown in the position just by someone going on maternity leave or by chance. They lie to owners and make them promises that they can't keep. They call you when you're off or on vacation and then pull that "sorry to bother you" bs because they can't figure ish out on their own. When you're off, definitely don't expect any work done by the person who fills in because they don't do ish but sit there all day. They say they appreciate the work you do, but come up with lame excuses for write ups and call them counseling statements! Counseling is discussing something with someone first. There are no leaders, only supervisors and if you're not on the bandwagon then you will get the short end of the stick. They will give you praise and tear you down in the same sentence! I see that the regionals jumped on here and gave Wellington 5 stars so that they will look better. If you really need a job and can bare a bunch of unnecessary foolishness everyday for little pay and no leasing or renewal bonuses...go for it. 

Great company to work for in the triad.  Was part of the corporate team and I was treated very well as I was included in most outings and contributed to most daily activities.  Worked directly under the CFO in the accounting department, whom he is a great person and I got along very well with.  I felt a warm culture with everyone in corporate and enjoyed the owner coming in every week or two to see what was going on in the company from a financial standpoint, but never really micromanaged, which was good.  Interacted sparingly with the (now) COO and she came across as a good leader who wanted to get things done but in an efficient manner.  They were very patient in getting me up to speed with the new accounting role and systems, which I applaud for my pace of learning.  Offered compensation packages for 401k that beganin January of this year.

Only reason for the 4 stars above were the size of the company and the current role I had, with not much immediate room for great expansion in accounting, but I knew this going in and it wasn't a negative for myself.  Give it 3-5 years and the company might need a few more accountants for certain regions if they continue to grow, making advancement in accounting more accessable.

Working at Wellington advisors has been one of the best experiences in my career up to this point.  From day one, all levels of management have been extremely helpful and welcoming.  I have never had a question go unanswered, and there is always someone willing to lend a helping hand.  In property management you will work hard, and the support of your upper management is crucial in running a great property.  As such, they will expect you to work hard, but they will teach you everything they can.  Wellington is deeply committed to helping not only the property, but the employee succeed and flourish.  Wellington has great PTO/Sick/vacation benefits that they encourage you to use, as well as continuing education.  Other companies will try and get an employee to not use their hard earned time.  Wellington, on the other hand, believes if you earned it, use it.  You are not micromanaged and the,” run it like you own it” philosophy is very much there.  Wellington wants you to be proud of your property and the work that you do.  Other jobs have expected me to work 24/7.  While, yes at wellington you may be on call, rarely have I received a call afterhours or on a day off unless it was a true emergency.  Wellington expects a lot but also respects the employees non-work life as well.  I sincerely recommend Wellington, to anyone who wants to work for a company that they can be proud of, and grow within the industry.

No level of poverty is worth the disrespect you will endure from senior management including/especially the Director of Management Relations. Keep your head up and suck it up is pretty much their overall culture. When I started there, I felt I would retire with the organization, then shortly the honeymoon was over. Please don’t waste your time. Find a company that cares and doesn’t manipulate in a passive aggressive atmosphere. I have been in the industry for over 20 years and I have NEVER been blatantly disrespected or spoken to in such a condescending manner. Human resources ignores any concerns  and their "confidentiality " with employee feedback is non-existent. There are Maintenance team members there that are spread way too thin to be able to meet the unattainable expectations with very little pay. As a regional manager, I was ignored regarding my concerns of potential employees that were significant liability and it was clear that nothing would change. Being there truly opened my eyes to what a true, unethical company can do to a community and the motivation to a team.    I am posting this review, not as a disgruntled previous employee, as I left on my own freewill. I am posting this because their culture, or lack thereof, is demotivating and discouraging. Please don't waste your time. 

Wellington Advisors has been a wonderful, welcoming company to work for. I have had the pleasure to meet different teammates from the corporate office to hands on regional management. That is one of the things I enjoy the most about this company is how involved they are directly with one another and their property managers. When you think of corporate you often think of people that you can't ever see or talk to, but not with Wellington. They are there to help you no matter if the question or task at hand is big or small. The Regional Managers have been wonderful, very team oriented and want you to succeed and feel good about what you are doing within the company. The software is user friendly and the policies that they stand firm on are easy to follow. Change is always unsettling but I have to say my transition from one company with 10+ years of service to Wellington has been such a positive experience; they truly want to see you do well.

Working for Wellington Advisors has been nothing short of positive!  As a company we continue to grow and evolve daily.  In my time with Wellington (approx. 2 years) I have advanced more than any previous job.  I am continuously given the support and guidance when taking on new things, as well as the tools and encouragement to provide the same for my teams.   This year we started quarterly team bonding events and it really helps drive our team morale!  As our industry is always changing, I can say Wellington has a great corporate team to help adapt and provide the resources to work through these changes.  I look forward to continuing to grow within our company and help others grow too! 

I enjoy my job as a manager with Wellington. Very high expectations for all staff, which is admirable and makes me strive to be better. There are various reports due daily but nothing difficult or unmanageable. If you are seasoned and know how to be a good manager, you can easily succeed. They are constantly making improvements to their properties to make them better for our residents. We have a great support system from our Regionals and all the way up to the COO and CFO. Everyone is so nice and always super willing to help. I will say, if you aren’t a hard worker or a team player you probably won’t like your job, which is more than likely the type of people that gave negative reviews. Always the disgruntled ones that didn’t get away with not doing their job to blast negativity.

Most of the tenants were fantastic while the chosen few caused more headaches than it was worth.While being on call for all by yourself you have no family life.You had to everything including the managers job while she ate fat tablets and stayed on the phone with family.You will spend more time cleaning than doing work orders and be reprimanded for falling behind.if they weren't too cheap to have a cleaning crew you could be a maintenance man without having to wear yourself to a frazzle. It just isn't enough ,blood banks don't take that much.Highly recommend to look somewhere else because all of this is true and any rebuttal would be false.I have been very kind in this review for this is just the tip of the iceberg Work there at your own risk or you can learn the hard way

Third-party, multi-family PM is never a dull moment. The current Mgmt Team has never been better, understanding day-to-day Operations, celebrating staff successes and improving processes. So proud to be part of Wellington Advisors, supporting our on-site teams doing their best to provide personal, quality service to prospects & residents, and vigilant oversight of our Clients' assets.  Thrilled to say that this year, Wellington Advisors celebrates it's 20th Anniversary! Here's to another 20 years!
