What is the hiring process like at Willow Bridge Property Company?

While I truly believe that Willowbridge Property Companies fosters a supportive and inclusive environment, offering excellent pay, recognizing the value employees bring, conducting a remarkable interview process, and providing wonderful benefits, it is unfortunate that in Dallas, the specific individuals I interacted with did not uphold these values. It is disappointing that there was a lack of follow-up from these parties participating in the initial hiring process to address or even inquire about the issues or anything occurring within their own office.

It is deeply troubling to witness the unequal and unfair treatment of employees by certain department heads within the company. Through open conversations with colleagues, it has become clear that there are significant disparities in how individuals are treated, leading to a toxic work environment where some employees feel marginalized and undervalued. My own experience with discrimination based on my appearance and work style was disheartening and isolating. Despite raising my concerns, they were dismissed, perpetuating a culture of favoritism and unfairness within the team. This kind of behavior not only damages employee morale but also hinders productivity and collaboration. The lack of an HR department and the disregard for employee concerns further exacerbate the issue. Allowing certain employees to work inconsistent hours and show up late for meetings without repercussions while holding others to different standards only deepens the divide within the team. It is imperative for companies to address these issues proactively and ensure that all employees are treated equitably. When I attempted to bring attention to these issues by requesting to make a formal statement my last day, I was denied the opportunity to do so. This lack of accountability from upper management is concerning and reflects a systemic issue within the organization. It is crucial for companies to listen to their employees, address any instances of discrimination, and create a safe and inclusive work environment for all. I urge the company to not only investigate my experiences but also to reach out to other employees to determine if similar instances of discrimination have occurred. They really need to know this was occurring daily if they did not and I welcome anyone who has the nerve to reach out as it gives me faith that their company isn't the company to do this. Hisever, I reluctantly don’t have any expectations considering I felt they didn’t want to see this in the first place. And despite their reluctance to engage with me, it is essential for them to understand the gravity of these issues and take decisive action to rectify them. Every detail shared is 100% factual and would hold true under scrutiny, as I am willing to undergo any test to prove the veracity of my claims. By addressing these issues head-on and committing to fostering a culture of fairness and inclusion, the company can create a more positive and supportive workplace for all employees. It is my hope that my experiences will prompt meaningful change and encourage a more transparent and accountable approach to addressing discrimination within the organization.

-Initially seemed like a great opportunity with room for growth - Some supportive coworkers who made the work environment better - Experience gained in a fast-paced setting

- Lack of training and unclear expectations—little support in learning processes - Poor management—leadership avoided addressing workplace issues - Broken promises—assurances about stability and bonuses weren’t upheld - Lack of transparency—decisions made without clear communication to employees - Limited career advancement—internal hiring process was inconsistent - Benefits were revoked without notice, leading to unnecessary stress -Below-average pay compared to industry standards

Pay and Benefits are competitive, Management and the hiring process have been delightful! They explained and we're very supportive through It all and made me feel comfortable, I was sold on this company since day 1. Great start!!

This not a con If you believe In the culture here, They believe In their product so they have high standards and expect their employees to embrace the Culture that has made Lincoln/Willow Bridge successful, So If you want to work for a company that believes In the concept of " If employees take care of themselves they will take care of our residents and properties, So If you want to be part of a company that strives for the best In themselves and their employees and of course their residents and properties this may be a career for you, If you just want a job, roll out of bed, do your hours and go home well, It might not be.

As a new hire, I am eager to be a part of the team. From interviewing to accepting a position, communication has been great as well as organization in getting a new hire set up.

None that I know of right now

The welcoming I have received and the ease of completing the pre-hire employment paperwork both are fresh, inviting and done with precision and ease. I am so excited to begin with a company I believe in and feel as though I am valued.

At this time I have zero cons to comment on. The interview process and invitation to join the company have both been a blessing.

I am grateful they introduced me to the industry. Benefits were great.

The pay is horrible, management and regional became so cliquey after as a leasing agent , I ran the property alone with no experience , and self taught for almost a year, then sadly maintenance had to warn me they were plotting to get rid of me, 3 days after a performance review that was PERFECT, (Note though I’ve been to the VP, HR, and Regional about all issues I was having with management and eventually the regional .) I was fired for “not reaching work performance”. When asked why these things were brought up before, like at my most recent sit down review. It was simply said “ because we can”. I am now with a bigger company, making more money, being TRULY appreciated . Do NOT apply here .

Fantastic culture, team, commitment to quality. One of the best companies in this industry - a leader. You will be proud to work here.

No real downsides. Lots of change right now with new ownership, but also lots of investment in the business and people. Building on our existing strengths and going in the right direction!

Mostly left alone to run the property. Owners were easy to work with. They always said thank you and made us feel good.

The manager that hired me was great. He was learning his job but really cared. He didn’t learn it fast enough so they moved him out of the position and my new regional manager was not great. She pretended to care about your personal life the start and then would say inappropriate things about my health and such. There is no space for having a personal life with her. Like I got Covid and she made me feel like I did something wrong. My whole team got it. And then on my vacation I got a chest cold that moved to pneumonia and somehow I was unhealthy. I had a unique schedule of working from home two days a week. She didn’t like that. Idk why and was always making these digs about it. For two years I shared a desk with my leasing agent. In a tiny office. Working from home two days a week relived that and gave me time to work on the endless financials. At this company they have a full time position for the manager and the assistant manager. But this property was smaller so it just had me and a leasing agent. I was left to do both the manager and assistant manager job. My maintenance tech didn’t get bids so I was doing part of his job too. My regional manager just never liked me. Which was ok as she never came out to the he property. When she did schedule to come out she didn’t always come. We had weekly meetings on video and for several months she was canceling them or not showing up. I would email for help with something or a question and it would go unanswered for a week. By then I had reached out to someone else to get my answers. The property ran like a dream with a 98% occupancy. Until one busy month I was late with my variance comments and well that was the end. She wrote me up. I should have seen the writing on the wall. I would have left but my leasing agent begged me not to. There is no accountability for regional managers. They are all girl friends and the higher ups don’t question them. They had these super cool scratch off cards. My first manager had me order them to hand out to staff when they do good or were having a hard time. My regional manager literally ruined them for everyone. She had them locked up. And in the entire time I worked with her she never gave out one.
