Work-life balance overshadowed by a toxic environment - Leasing Manager Tailwind Group Employee Review

close knit community within the team and the community bonuses and dinners and such

sometimes slight drama as to be expected inside a college environment

Welcoming environment when you first start, but it seems now that that was just a facade.

High expectations for low pay. Presents the work dynamic as a “family” but then pays a $30-40k salary to a position that should clearly be hourly. It’s just an excuse to not pay overtime. Terrible health insurance. They literally recommend you use goodRX because it’s so bad & they clearly know it but don’t care. No real diversity at the corporate level. Everyone in upper management or in leadership positions are white. All of the owners are white & predominately from the Smith family. Lots of nepotism. It’s public knowledge, just look at their website. Tons of money is spent on trips for upper management and employees who make a lot of money for them. Tells property locations to be careful with spending, but then turns around & spends well over $300 a week on free lunches for the corporate office. Favoritism is rampant. As many others have said, these employees are the popular kids from high school. You’re either in or you’re out. I saw dozens of people get fired in my one year of working there. Their retention rate is horrible and they know it, but it doesn’t stop them from finding ways to fire people they don’t like or that don’t follow “the tailwind way”. Accept a job from them at your own risk and know that you are 100% dispensable to them no matter how hard you try to be a good employee.
