Westover Companies

Before I started at Westover, I was searching for a Marketing position and was nervous about applying here being that I did not have experience in the property management industry. However, I am SO HAPPY I did! 
I started in the beginning of this year and have had a wonderful experience with Westover so far! I work in the Marketing Department where I am able to be creative and collaborative with my team. 

As soon as I started, the people here made me feel so welcomed and were willing to help me out with things that I needed. I was trained properly and my boss is always willing to listen to new ideas! Management also does a great job with working through everything that comes their way. Everyone here is very nice and also has a sense of humor! Westover is already beginning to feel like my second family. 
FREE medical and dental benefits is a huge plus too!

If you want to see more about Westover, I suggest visiting the Westover blog, www.WestoverLiving.com and also giving them a like/follow on Facebook and Instagram! This where you can have an "inside scoop" on what goes on at The Westover Companies. 
I was also very shocked by the numerous fun events that happen at this company. We all work really hard, but we get to have fun together in the end! 

I have learned that people have been working here FOR YEARS and I can understand why now!

What is the best part of working at the company?
With this company you are completely taken care of with several benefits good vacation retirement sick days uniforms and bonuses for jobs performed well. Open with the company a year and have seen fast improvements in my apartment complex. They take care of their employees and their residents

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When it comes to property maintenance sometimes you get into situations where the work environment is not ideal, clogged toilets being one of the worst parts of the job but it all pays the same whether you're changing a light bulb snaking a drain or upgrading an apartment it's all part of the job

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very positive very upbeat very friendly I feel like it's my extended family

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Like any typical day in residential maintenance. Some days are good some days are bad some days are just days

westover is an fantastic company that has great co-workers great supervisors that appreciate you and don’t micromanage you and aren’t afraid to get there hands dirty they give great bonuses & many other perks like free sports tickets and free health care and it is hard work but it’s satisfying work and there’s tons of room to grow and move up in The Company I’ve met many coworkers that have been there 20 or 30 years that are very happy and plan on retiring with the company the only con I would have is the vacation time they just don’t give you a whole lot but it’s probably right on par with any other job I just wish they would give you all your time at the beginning of the year instead of having to accumulate it weekly but other then that I can’t recommend westover enough it really is a fantastic company that treats there employees great 

Westover Companies is a company that is rapidly growing, and grants lots of opportunities for people who are looking to grow and advance in the multi-housing industry. They invest in their properties, residents, and employees both financially, and socially. Additionally, their pay is competitive, and there is FREE health insurance, dental, life insurance. There is also paid time off, and sick time. Overall, I have been very pleased working for the company, and would encourage others to explore opportunities here. My only frustration is the consistently heavy workload [which is simply the nature of the business].

My day starts out with morning assigned property clean-up, then either assigned a PM or work orders to complete. Being in this field for so long, I have learned quite a lot just being around contractors, management and other personnel, my managers over the years were collectively the same in the way they handle and operate the properties with some differences for each one. I've always got along with my co-workers and the culture there is a good one. The hardest and most frustrating part of my job is the on-call because for me, the commute back and fourth is hard due to it's location. I enjoy the ability to help others through knowing how to repair something that would otherwise put a damper on someones day, and that alone is great but other aspects include meeting people as well.

What is the best part of working at the company?
To be honest absolutely nothing. Rude managers and uncaring upper management 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They expect you to work like a dog and turn multiple units a week by yourself and when help is needed there is none 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very toxic. No respect between office staff and maintenance. Office staff demand you do as they say or they will write you up and they go behind your back to other employees to find reasons to get rid of you. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Full of stress and no organization or policies of doing things. You are expected to hurry up and get it done and move on to their next demand

If you like to it corners and throw bandaids on a problem to get in and out, this company is for you. They do not want things done right because that would make too much sense and take up too much time. And when they bring in out of Town guys for Renos, don’t worry you’ll be fixing their mistakes too. Communication between property level and Corperate is a complete joke. Too many bosses and not enough Workers would be the best description. They won’t pay you your worth but they will squeeze every penny of what they pay you out to get something done though. And make sure you stay in the clique, or they’ll make sure you get canned. 

Westover has been my home since July 2016.  I have worked my way up from part time, to a floating position, and since I have had a position as a co-manager at one specific property.  I have been there for about a year.  It is a challenge.  The job is hard... patience is needed, and something I have learned is that this position is not for everyone.  I love fast paced, “organized chaos”, type of work.  (My work is like this because of my property, not all properties are this tough) Upper management is superb, I have no complaints there.  They always are there when you need assistance.  The owner of this company is very “ALL FAMILY”.  He treats his employees great!  Anyone who says otherwise is clearly a disgruntled employee.

Growing family business that proves you are not just a number and fosters personal growth, advancement and training.  Upper management is extremely level headed and easy to talk to.  They listen to your ideas which makes you feel appreciated.  They hold plenty of company functions to show their staff appreciation and  support everyone's continuing education by paying for the NALP and CAM.  Amazing health benefits you don't really find anymore.  You can tell a lot about a company when so many employees have been there for such a long time.

Working at the main office of Westover has been awesome! I work on a specialized type of online Marketing within the Marketing department, but I also get to contribute to the company's social media and content strategies, as well as other advertising projects to help the properties bring in more leads. Management all around is very supportive, clear with expectations, and inclusive -- all of which make the atmosphere relaxing and give it that "family-feel" that many job seekers are looking for. For these reasons and more, I enjoy working with everyone here at the main office and can't wait to welcome even more!
