Review of Weinstein Properties

I have worked for Weinstein Properties for about 7...

I have worked for Weinstein Properties for about 7 months. I put in my two weeks of resignation due to a better opportunity. There were also some other reasons that the company drove me away for. For leasing agents, the pay is a joke. Leasing agents are over worked and under paid. That is one of the reasons I left. Weinstein does not pay commission. At all. Also, I learned that they do not take care of their employees. I transferred properties per their request. They did not pay for my move which costed me over $300. Also, I had requested a carport for at least at a discount, I was shooting for a free carport, but no. They would not approve for a discounted carport for their employee. Everything I did for the company was worth way more than what my hourly was. I did love the people I worked with. I did work under the BEST regional director ever. She is a very hard worker, and she truly cares about her employees. I definitely enjoyed her visits. One of the main reasons that drove me away, was how they do not promote within. They hired a new assistant manager rather than promoting one of the leasing consultants for the job. Why hire a new person that is new to the company? When you can promote one of your leasing agents that knows the policies & procedures? Saying you want to hire someone with "manager experience" is not a good enough reason. Because the rest of the staff will have to help train this new person with "manager experience". Let me also mention how my move out went. They take rent out of employees paychecks by splitting it in half. So they took out the first half of rent from the first paycheck of the month, then I moved out before the next paycheck, and they still took rent out. Basically they took out rent for the full month. I spoke to HR and they could not do anything about it until my move out was processed. SO, if you ever decide to work for this company, I recommend to not live onsite.
The leasing agents work so hard every day and get paid so little. Not to mention again that there is no incentive on leasing the property.
I did really enjoy working with my coworkers, however a better opportunity came my way and I did not hesitate to leave Weinstein. I hope to see some changes in that department so they can keep their leasing staff. Best of luck to WP as they continue to grow in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
