Pros

I have heard that the Phoenix office has a better working environment than Houston. It does provide a paycheck and insurance.

Cons

Been at the Houston office for more than a year now. What a hostile working environment. Second person in charge is making the work place here almost impossible to handle. Salaries are at the bottom range at best. High turnover rate. Quality employees just leave.

Pros

Free brunches at the end of the month.

Cons

This company has a serious transparency problem — both internally and externally. Many honest, critical reviews on this site have mysteriously disappeared over time, which is why you’re likely not seeing the full picture. If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance this review will also be deleted, just like the others that dared to speak the truth. The work culture at WhiteStone REIT is toxic, fear-driven, and unsustainable. The constant pressure, hostility, and lack of support took a real toll on my health — so much so that I ended up in the hospital for 10 days. No job should ever push an employee to that point, yet leadership here shows no concern for employee well-being. The Chief People Officer in particular operates with alarming dishonesty. After my departure, she attempted to twist facts and submit misleading information to block my unemployment benefits. Thankfully, the truth came out and I was awarded benefits, but no one should have to go through such a vindictive process after already enduring a damaging workplace. The company’s downward spiral is not just internal. Their stock has been in sharp decline since the beginning of the year, reflecting the poor decisions and lack of effective leadership at the top. High turnover, low morale, and retaliation against those who speak up are the norm. If you value your health, career, and integrity, avoid WhiteStone REIT. The truth is hidden behind carefully curated PR and removed reviews — but the problems are very real.
