Windsor-Communities

Overall, I love Windsor and recommend them to anyone looking for an apartment or a job. However, I always preface that I do not recommend the North East Region. I had the pleasure of working the Mid Atlantic and (misfortune of working in the) North East, and attending training in the South East. The overall company culture is serious, but positive and encouraging. In the Mid Atlantic and South East I noticed several hard-working employees work their way up, the regional management was approachable and involved, and I felt the company was ethical and truly cared for their residents and employees. 

The North East portfolio included several properties that were falling apart, poorly maintained, and/or in less desirable areas. I noticed they have since sold off those properties, but while working at the low-performing (for good reason) properties, employees were made to feel the blame. Management also did not welcome input from bottom-wrung employees, honesty was never appreciated, and working in the region felt like a popularity contest.

Company provided one virtual awards ceremony per year, and one regional team-bonding event per year. Both events were well coordinated and didn't feel like forced fun. At the time, the company also offered a clothing stipend every 6 months to purchase suits. Dress code was strict in the Mid Atlantic, so the stipend mostly made up for that. Heels were off-record mandatory, so most women kept them at their desk in case management showed up. At one point the idea of mandatory manicures was tossed around, and I honestly would have lost it over that. I hope they have progressed in this department. 

I did feel I was paid decently for my work, until I was asked to help a new hire complete her paperwork and noticed she was hired at higher rate despite lacking any experience. When I questioned this, I was told the starting rate had simply increased. Do be prepared for long days, weekends, some harassment from residents (most managers will back you.) But the leasing bonuses are great incentives and training is thorough and ongoing. 

Advancement seems to depend a great deal on your willingness/ability to move to whatever site has an opening, which is understandable with most offices only employing 3-5 leasing/management staff. I've noticed several employees have left Windsor in order to find opportunities to advance their career, but they are welcomed back when the right position is available, which is awesome.

I feel like the positives do outweigh the negatives, which are mainly in the details. It's a great company to start your career with. I relocated twice with the company due to military relocation (and worked at 3 different sites) and chose to find other employment after a third move so I would no longer need to work weekends. 

I recently saw a job posted by Windsor encouraging military spouses and veterans to apply and allowing the possibility for the position to be remote. Definitely brought a smile to my face to see them extending opportunities to people who become disadvantaged in their job search. Kudos!

I’ve been with Windsor for almost four years, and during this time, I’ve witnessed incredible growth and evolution within the company. Windsor truly embraces innovation, continuously implementing new technologies to streamline operations and make our jobs easier. What stands out to me most is how much the company genuinely cares for and supports its employees. Even during the recent reorganization of operations and job structures, Windsor prioritized its people by offering new and better opportunities, including remote positions to support onsite teams with administrative work. It’s clear that the company listens to its employees and values their feedback, using our ideas to drive positive change and implement new systems that improve efficiency. In the past year alone, my team had four different promotions, allowing them to grow in their careers. Windsor celebrates these achievements in meaningful ways. At the recent offsite conference, it was inspiring to hear how many team members have been with Windsor for over 40 years and how valued they feel. The conference also highlighted our collective successes, accomplishments, and the exciting visions and goals for the future. On top of all this, Windsor offers great compensation and bonuses, and there are truly unlimited opportunities for growth while maintaining a strong work-life balance. I feel proud to be part of a company that cares about its people and invests in their success.

ZERO work life balance as a maintenance guy. This job totally consumes your life and every other maintenance guy there is burnt out. They don't pay any better than other property management company but the main issue here is they really don't care at alll about their employees. Very High turnover, the only ones who stay are the ones trapped by the "free apartment" which you get paid less if you live on site but they don't pay you enough to live within 20 minutes of the property but expect you to be on call and respond at all times of the night, every night, multiple times, without sleep and go to work and keep working by yourself because they don't hire enough people to upkeep luxury standards. They don't seem to understand that when you triple rents, tenants have high expectations but they refuse to spend a dime on workers to meet that expectation and they seem to think that changing the staff around will solve the issue. Upper management is very incompetent because they never lifted screwdriver in their life and have NO idea what it takes to never sleep, work hard  physical labor, and never get to leave the property...all to make unfair pay. 

They still pay 90s wages in 2017 Denver market but can't afford to pay better when they triple rent and rip off tenants. I get it's a business but there is a lot of greed in this company. Wait for your 40 cent raise...then they have a conference bragging how they have 11 BILLION in buyer power this year.  

Happy job searching!

This is my first property management position and I was really impressed with the level of training I received. I’ve been with Windsor 8 months now and can definitely see myself staying. There is a lot of personal responsibility in this job and it can be stressful. I work at a very large mid rise which has its challenges but I feel I’m given the resources I need to be successful. I know commission structure varies between properties but I am averaging around $1400 gross per month (varies a lot). The hourly is not great to start so there is a lot of (financial) pressure to keep performing well, not taking time off etc because it is 20-30% of the total amount I make. In the same position you can only earn a 3% raise annually. Overall I think Windsor really values its employees and I am appreciated when I am doing well and offered support if not. All of the properties are super high end and they put a lot of money into maintaining that image and lifestyle for the residents. 

Windsor has been an exceptional organization to be part of over the past 12 years. What continues to stand out most is the caliber of individuals I have the privilege of working with daily—from my on-site team members to my direct manager and everyone in between. The company consistently attracts and retains top-tier talent, and it’s evident in the dedication, professionalism, and collaborative spirit across all levels. The people truly make Windsor a remarkable place to work. 
The company is consistently focused on streamlining processes and enhancing overall performance. While periods of growth and transition can present occasional challenges, the organization remains anchored in its core values. Throughout these changes, I have felt fully supported, both personally and professionally, which speaks to the strength of Windsor’s leadership and culture.

I started my career with Windsor right out of college, and 21 years later, I haven't second-guessed my decision. Windsor lives its values of accountable, inclusive, energizing, and courageous. I am a product of the promote-from-within culture, and as I have moved through many roles throughout my time with Windsor, I continue to see leaders pour into their teams and create paths for growth. Is every day easy? Absolutely not. Do I feel supported every day? 100%. I've grown personally and professionally during my time with Windsor, including receiving graduate degrees through the tuition reimbursement program. I feel valued, challenged, and energized to come to work every day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The money and the clients that I help assist in my time there. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Staff talking behind and about other team members.They acted high end and most of the time staffed didn't work as a team. They acted like I was bothering them when I asked for assistance and training. I felt unwelcome.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Staff said good morning but they talk behind other employees backs throughout the day 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well, it was good when I served my clients. I would check apartments make sure they were ready to be viewed, I'd make phone calls to clients checking in and seeing if they like to view more apartments etc. I'd set appointments up to do viewings. I did realyncs videos of apartments.

Windsor is by far the best property management company out there. They have the best team environment, culture, management and bonus incentive program that I’ve ever seen! If you want a career in property management then this is the company to apply for. They have leasing rally’s every 6 months to show their appreciation to there employees. They also have the most competitive bonus structure I’ve ever seen. If you work hard they will reward you. The only reason I left was because we moved to a state that they didn’t have any property’s. I have worked for a few other company’s so far and not one even slightly compares to Windsor. Working for Windsor was such a wonderful experience and anyone that works there should feel very honored!

My time with Windsor Communities was truly formative — both personally and professionally. I learned so much, grew as a leader, and genuinely enjoyed being part of a company that values its people and creates an environment full of positive energy and collaboration.

Windsor’s commitment to team building, culture, and development is unmatched. The support, training, and camaraderie I experienced there set the foundation for so much of who I am today in my career.

While I ultimately left during a transition when there wasn’t a role that aligned for me at the time, I look back on my Windsor experience with immense gratitude. I still miss the people I worked alongside and the uplifting culture that made every day enjoyable.

Windsor Communities will always hold a special place in my career journey.

I have worked for about five different property management companies and Windsor by far has the most inclusive and engaging employee culture. I feel like I am an asset to my team every day and I feel supported where I need improvement. I think the commission structure could be a bit higher given our communities are high end luxury homes. $125 a lease could be bumped to $200 and there would be less turnover for the leasing consultant position. With that being said, I truly love working here and Windsor sticks to its values. I’m excited to see their growth. Strong company with no layoffs during Covid-19 which speaks volumes.
