I joined the small Exton office with high hopes, initially experiencing positive aspects like effective teamwork, clear communication, and a laid-back work atmosphere. However, the situation took a turn for the worse. As the office expanded, the director of operation's micromanagement became severe, creating an environment where dissent was strongly discouraged. Those who have voiced concerns about her leadership style have mysteriously departed from the company, further perpetuating a culture of fear and silence. Your job security hinges solely on maintaining silence, fulfilling your responsibilities, and hoping to earn her favor. They've let go of valuable employees due to her influence, yet they retain staff members who struggle with their responsibilities simply because they refrain from questioning her.
The staff engages in constant gossip behind each other's backs, and the individual serving as the HR representative at this location is eccentric. She appears to crave validation from others to such an extent that she is willing to go to any lengths, saying and doing anything to be perceived as well-informed. There is a widespread lack of trust in both her and the leadership of this office.
The Vice President is rarely present, and when he is, his communication is often confusing and circular. Despite lacking expertise in real estate, he holds the VP position due to his brother being the CEO.
The director and the VP, who happen to be married (a potential conflict of interest), collectively earn over $300k. Yet, they express discontent when employees advocate for a living wage.
They fabricate property values instead of relying on recent appraisals. Additionally, the bank accounts consistently show low or negative balances. It's highly concerning. They continue acquiring new properties but neglect to improve the ones they already own.
Employees received no year-end or holiday bonuses, yet they were expected to purchase luxury-brand gifts to present to them to create the illusion of adoration from their staff at the most recent summit.
They are no longer compliant with SEC regulations and have lost their rating from the Better Business Bureau.
I no longer disclose my workplace to others. There's no sense of pride left. It's clear to me that this is a scam. Those who are still here are actively seeking new employment, fearing the possibility of arriving one day to find the lights off and the doors closed for good.
