No leadership

Sales (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 6 September 2023

Workplace management culture was very clicky and did not treat most staff with the respect they needed to exceed. If you didn’t know an answer people were scared to ask management. To many hands in each project with no clear vision.

Pros

Independence

Cons

Communications

Opportunity to learn and grow within the company

Facilities Manager, senior (Current Employee) - Montréal, QC - 2 August 2023

-managers provide tools to help succeed, lots of different people within the company who are pretty friendly and happy to help.- workplace culture is pretty "woke", which is fine but it gets shoved down your throat a little bit-expectations are quite high, lots of correspondence with contractors and clients during the day sometimes takes a lot of the day-def not a good place if you're looking for something chill or easy,again high expectations but also lots of support and resources are provided for both on the job help and educational materials to help push towards future goals, all of which are free of charge

Pros

Structure to move up, helpful/friendly people

Cons

High expectations, a lot of responsibility, duties seem to change a lot depending on what the boss-of-the-month decides

Great place to Intern

Accounting Intern (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 26 May 2023

Gives you a great understanding of how property accounting works on a large scale. It’s also a great place to grow and make valuable connections. Workload definitely takes time getting used to but it is very manageable and colleagues will help you if needed.

Worst company ever!

Office Administration (Former Employee) - Florida - 23 May 2023

They treat their employees like garbage. Upper management is the only people that matter. They don't care about employees or residents. Its all about the Benjamin's.

A horrid job

Security Officer (Former Employee) - Halifax, NS - 13 March 2023

Management are disorganised. The work environment is horrid, particularly if you are a woman and have to work at night in dark, unlit and secluded areas. They do not like their hard working staff taking their scheduled breaks.

Terrible Management, High Turnover with Employees, Low Salary

Guest Service Representative (Former Employee) - Canada - 22 January 2023

The work environment is unprofessional. Employees do not know how to execute conflict resolution. Supervisors have poor management skills; they cannot respectfully listen to criticism regarding harassment nor employee dissatisfaction. Critical information for the bottom of the chain is not trickled down from upper management. Hostile environment causing employees to develop a hostile attitude, resulting in poor work atmosphere. Company expects employees lower on the chain to respond to emails outside of work - little respect for work life balance.

Typical 3rd Party Property Management Firm

Manager (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 26 August 2022

C&W is a typical 3rd Party Property Manager. They don’t own the properties so they don’t have a lot of say in the long term capital or future of the buildings.

Pros

Steady pay, Mon to Fri.

Cons

Poor culture, lots of of old school technology

You are just a number

Property Management (Former Employee) - Canada - 26 November 2021

When CW cam into the management they restructured and got rid of all the really good leaders who made the culture so positive. Now you are just a number. There is a real negative moral and you never know when your time is up. There is a real sense of "affirmative action" where they are hiring to check a box of diversity and not hiring the most qualified

Pros

None

Cons

Poor leadership, no sense of commitment to the team

Not a good vibe

Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Toronto East - 30 November 2020

Management doesnt really care whether you work here or not. They are more focussed on the dollars instead of the employees.If you are an agent it is even worse. Sometimes it takes days to get an answer from management.Admin support is very scarce Not worth the 50% of your commissions that they take.THeir systems are very onerous and time consuming to work with.Takes too long to get paid on dealsThere is no company culture.They do not support those that are mid level or starting out so much. They care about the dollar that is IT.Not a first choice for a commercial realtor to work.

Cons

Terrible management support

Property Manager (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 15 October 2020

I love working here. I admire the competence of the people with whom I interact. I am allowed to take on the challenges that I feel competent taking on. Yet there is always someone available to back me up as needed.

Terrible management and horrible work environment

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Markham, ON - 12 July 2020

Management is awful. They don't care about your families and expect a ton of work for not much pay. Mostly men work there and its very chauvinist environment Don't expect to be treated fairly.
