Westdale Asset Management

To all prospective maintenance technicians applying to this company, don't waste your time and energy unless you want your hard work and dedication rewarded with scorn and power trips. I'll start with the best two examples I can come up with. When I was on call for emergencies, I had to cut open a closet wall so an animal control worker could crawl in and take out a live cat that was stuck between the drywall of the apartment and the brick wall of the building. I stayed outside the hole and wouldn't seal it up until I saw the animal control worker come out with the cat. The animal control worker came out uninjured and so did the cat, and then I covered the hole by screwing plywood over it. The next work day I told the property manager what happened and all she could talk about is how much time I spent on the clock waiting for the animal control worker to come out of the hole (yes, these are the kind of people Westdale employ as property managers). The second best example is that the property manager wanted to pull me and the other technician into her office just to whine about the maintenance supervisor being under stress. But when I tell her about the stress I'm under, her attitude is "You're a tech II! Deal with it!". On top of that, she also had some excuse or another to call me to her office and come down on me at least once a month until she wrote up enough reports to get me fired. But I am a lot happier now that I'm out of that company. I also want to warn prospective technicians that if you want to live on one of their properties, they will kick you off the property 3 days after you get fired or quit. With that being said, I guess the management above property managers aren't big on character either and I recommend maintenance technicians with any sense of self-worth look for employment elsewhere.

Property Management is a very exciting career.  The industry made me realize that you can do just about anything if you survive the pressure that the job requires.  Everyday is a different day at work.  There are administrative duties requires an immediate deadline as well as maintaining occupancy and responsibilities towards current residents.  You really have to be a team player in order to be successful.  Everyone needs to help one another to accomplish daily goals.  This job is never boring!  Everyday you learn something new and will always test your patience and perseverance.

I absolutely loved my community I worked at, my employees were awesome and our company treated us good. We had okay healthcare but their maternity leave was better than alot of other companies I worked at. I worked there for 5 years and would have stayed there for the rest of my like if it weren't for my position and the hourly rate was limited to. They did work with me one year and gave me more when I asked for a larger increase that usual but I needed more for mine and my families own benefit. So sadly I had to leave the wonderful place... I miss my residents and employees but maybe one day something will be available for me to go back! I love working for Westdale. Definitely recommend!

I have served at a high-end property for over three years as a Residential Concierge, but I'm given the opportunity to learn almost every operational aspect of property management.  My prior position was with a world-renown hotel known to be the pinnacle of hospitality service and an amazing culture, but I actually enjoy Multi-Family with Westdale much more.  The work-life balance is fantastic, the compensation is more than fair, (and significantly more than any hotel will ever pay, even for high-performers), and the path to career development is much more effective.  I regularly have other entities reach out to me via this site and other channels, but I am quite happy where I am, working with the team I work with.  I often tell my former colleagues from the hotel business to look at our company .  

The company is extremely out of date, and a mom and pop compared to other companies. You will drown in the paperwork required to run the office day to day. There were many private owners Westdale managed for...NIGHTMARE. They in turn don't care about the staff, only making owners happy.
Yardi/ CRM are restricted and not very user friendly. IT has to approve EVERYTHING on your work computer (down to updating settings). 
HS diploma is not even required, as a result pay range is LOW. Also, your team will likely be filled with people who "just need a job". The company is NOT structured to progress, you'll luck up on a position on their time or when another person leaves because of poor work conditions.

Working at Westdale is great place to work and grow. It's not just a job, it can turn into a career if you put effort into it. This is the first place I worked at as a leasing consultant, so I cannot compare it to any other place. But it is a wonderful place to grow. We get paid hourly, on top of bonuses for leasing units. My manager is always allowing me, and giving me different tasks to grow, and learn something new. My assistant manager is wonderful, and has taught me so much on how to lease apartments. At first I thought I was only going to lease if the prospect wanted the unit, but I learned it is much more than that.

In all honesty, Westdale is the epitome of a corporation in the worst way. If you are not a corporate employee, you don't matter. They constantly scrutinize and belittle your work no matter how hard you work because nothing you do will be good enough for their impossible standards. The pay is awful and the bonuses are next to nothing. The commission was the only good aspect, but it is only paid out at the end of every month. To sum up everything, the property's employees put in the work, and Westdale reaps the benefits of their hard work while also telling them that their work efforts are mediocre.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I worked with was the best part of going to work everyday!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There wasn’t anything too stressful that wasn’t hard to overcome.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Wonderful! I still talk to everyone I worked with on a daily basis.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Taking care of residents, prospects, posting rent, coding bills and posting them, responding and sending emails, answering phones, completing reports.

Westdale was an awesome company to work for during my stint at their Roswell/ Buckhead property.
My property was on the list off assets to sell. I began looking for another company when we received severance letters. I was hired elsewhere before the actual sale went through. 
I was disappointed I left the company 5months later learning the Due diligence had not gone well and the buyer backed out of the deal.
Honestly, I still would have been there today if my property had not been up for sale.

I’ve been with Westdale over 3 years now. When hired, I didn’t have any experience leasing. They took a chance on me and I’m forever grateful. My team that I work with on a daily basis are like family.  I haven’t really needed to work with upper management, the only one I really come into contact with is my regional manager, who’s great.
