Pros
When I began my career at Tailwind, it was a lower paying position in the company, I was an on-site employee. I was grateful for an amazing manager that made me personally feel supported whenever I needed them. It was a very interesting job, everyday is different. You get to experience things from performing maintenance, leasing, property management, social media, etc. Great incentives for leasing and property performance.
Cons
As I reflected on recent events, the cons are truly what motivated me to create this review in hopes that it might make management take a step back and process my experience with the company. I want to begin with lack of training. If you are an individual who tends to be described as a ‘self starter’ be prepared to be taken advantage of, minimal day or two with a corporate leasing member and they’re gone. If you don’t take to the position right away, you will be looked at as not a good candidate and immediately be deemed as a sob story. I have decent work experience, have never experienced the high school popularity contest that is Tailwind. If you are not a OG or deemed a favorite, you’re out! Say goodbye to internal promotions, receiving support, or forming connections with leadership. If you are not a winner out the gate, good luck, but even if you are deemed a winner, chill out, leadership shys away from those that pose any threat to them. Incredibly fake support with regional managers. It would always take a lot for me to seek support from the regional I worked under, and when I did I always regretted it because I would find out it was looked down upon from them telling other employees. They baby certain property/leasing managers while leaving others to completely struggle. If your property leases up, thanks! Struggling? Sorry. Clinging to weak people to make yourself look better for building them up while ignoring strong employees for actually doing the work, all you’re doing is pushing them out of the company and putting time into someone who isn’t committed. There is also an incredible lack or discipline in this company if you are a favorite. If leadership doesn’t like you, see ya! If you’re a favorite, congrats, you pretty much have a job for life. Low recognition of work put in. Many employees, myself included, spent/spend time helping other properties. Just because you do this, don’t think it will get you anywhere. Your true opinions will be looked at as negative and label you as such as well.
