Ambling Property Investments, LLC

When arrived there for work all was nonfunctional. The operations in the system had one employee structured to accommodate two separate properties that was run down to say the least. Regional manager had no desire to motivate nor care about their employees. The regional manager did NOT check personally on her properties nor cared. Neglect of responsibilities was her status. Their infrastructure to modern day IT networks and hardware systems are poor to say the least. Possible advancement was strategically dismissed under the wire. Possible discrimination of personnel, networking outside of corporate structures, and lay-offs of personnel with intent of removing without notice.

During my 9 years with Ambling, I can say it was a wonderful company to work for. Until, the new President of the company and her husband took over. They have no skills when it comes to managing properties, that is why they both flew from one company to another...until they snowed the owners of Ambling. The bills used to get paid, the vendors were happy, the employees were happy, but that all changed once the husband and wife came and brought in all of their cronies, and ran the company into the ground. Thank goodness the VP left, to run another company into the ground, and harrase the females working for that company. The good ol' days are gone, and the good ol' company is gone. I highly suggest looking for another company with values, because they now have none.

Please stay away from this company.. If you review their website they come off as being a christian based mgt company.  However upper management such as the Regional VP does not adhere to that policy..  There is no team support or structure in this company.  If something isnt working the RVP blames it on the managers or regional and terminates their position, but in doing so the property never get and better.  They offer no training on their soft ware or company policies.  RVP will show up and terminate your position without any write ups.  Employees have worked there for 3 years without a raise while upper management receives theirs.  RVP shows no respect or concern for the people that work day to day on these properties.  This is a poor excuse for a management company  

A typical day at work was very busy working in an office designed for two and completing all of the task alone. I learned working at ambling to continue to educate myself and don't take to long to speak up for myself cause it may be to late. Management could use some work. My co-worker was lazy and dishonest. The hardest part of my job was working with someone who was lazy and dishonest. The best part of my job was the job, I love what I do and the more work I had to do the better my day. The reward is knowing at the end of the day I helped someone get into a home.

Work politics play a major role with this company. If you are not on the VP good side then you are singled out. I'm sure anyone she has ever had an "issue" with, is no longer with the company. 

Corporate does not give support to the office when needed. There is a lot of smoke and mirrors with this company. Their motto: Its easier to get rid of you within the 1st 90 days(probationary period) than after. Keep that in mind, they are at will employer and take it literally! 

They are a STICKLER for following policy and procedures, make sure you pay CLOSE attention to their training sessions, it could come back to bite you if you miss something!

Company started out as a great faith based company , however it is far from that. The bonus structure is a joke and they pay no commissions. Maintenance staff is expected to travel everywhere including out of state using their own funds while being asked to be reimbursed at a later date while still being expected to maintain their own property with little to no help. They drain our poor residents for every dime they have when they pay late. They truly used the court system and drain the residents for every dime, which pushes affordable out the door!. They are not an overall great company to work for or for anyone to live at. They have little to no people skills and they treat people anyway they choose.

Have to know the tax credit program and all the laws and procedures that have to be implemented when getting new residents ready to move in. You need to stay on top of all the state laws in reference to the credit program. Have to be able to pay attention to detail when completing all the paperwork needed and have everything perfect before sending it to your representative to have them critique your file and make sure everything line has been crossed and nothing is missing. It’s really more than most people in the industry can handle when it comes to a property that is nothing but tax credit (low income tax credit program) than most people what to work at. It takes a person that is looking for a challenging job with long hours.

First, I come in and check emails for voice messages left by residents who may have experienced an issue dealing with maintenance overnight. I am ultimately accounts payable, so I process bills for the two properties for I oversee. I manage the six student workers who report directly to me. The hardest part of this job to deal with is the fluctuating attitudes. The most enjoyable part of this job is the people who actually work here. My day is made once I get here to work around nice and caring workers.

It is a very disorganized and unprofessional work environment. Your day to day task will change constantly do to other employees no performing there duty’s on time or at all. Nobody has a sense of responsibility so when something doesn’t get completed fingers will get pointed. If your on call with maintenance they will give you a tough time just for a few hours because there not used to having good/ great employees so they will test you and I’ve even had time stolen off my check after I brought it to there attention and told them to speak with my immediate supervisor. Overall the worst place to ever work at. Not worth the time or money 

I’ve worked for the company for several years now and previously worked for another similar company. It is a night and day difference from the awful company I came from. I feel appreciated and heard, I’m not pushed to constantly work or made to feel bad if I need to take my time. Team work is the entire mentality. The supervisors and management teams want everyone to be successful and feel valued. They have so many supportive options to help us succeed and get our jobs done correctly.
