EDGEWOOD PROPERTIES

I'll start with the positives because I don't want to come off too negative. When I first was hired, the work environment was not toxic at all. I've met people that have been working there for years and loved what they did for Edgewood Properties. The flexibility of my schedule was very convenient for me. My pay was... well... at least paying my bills. Most importantly, I actually did enjoy the work that I did.

That's until things took a turn quickly and soon enough I started to see this company's TRUE colors. I'm a single individual with my own income, no help from a spouse or anyone, and I can't even income qualify for our own units. My co-workers' commissions would not be given to them until MONTHS after. For example, you made a sale in June, you will see that money in December. Not to mention, the commission you make per sale is actually funny how low it is. 

The turnover rate is outrageous. You are easily replaceable. Nothing about you makes you unique. Speaking of unique, forget that you have a personality, it is shut down because everything needs to be uniform. I'm sorry, but as a salesman you need to have your own personality to actually make a sale. I can't sell apartments if I have to read a script to make sure my own sale meets "corporate standards." You WILL be micromanaged, without a doubt. Even down to the small patterns on your black, professional skirt. Be prepared to be sent home if you're not dressed as if you're going to your own funeral.

It wasn't my property that upset me, it was the business decisions that the CEO and the corporate side would make. They were irrational, cheap,  and straight up idiotic. They never focused on the real problems of our community, which made it very difficult for our team to stay motivated. Something that has been talked about for years were updating our community, being we are one of the older ones. FOR YEARS nothing has changed. So, I still have to sell apartments with broken, or worn out appliances for the same price as an apartment you can find at another property with new appliances, and updated flooring. Good luck. 

Meanwhile, the CEO is talking about someday having "doors that can open via cell phones, or bluetooth" or whatever he talked about that day... WHEN WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE A DRYER!! Word of advice, Jack: don't make future plans for your community if you can't even fix current problems. You're like one of the richest men in New Jersey, bro. Stop pocketing made up fees that you charge residents with and actually use it towards something like fixing up the community, or how about this idea.. A RAISE FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES! Cheapskate.

No raises are given unless you're promoted to a different position (so you could love your job and work there for years and never see a pay increase), commission for leasing is laughable, employees can barely income qualify to live in our own communities. At first it's not so bad, if you're lucky to have a manager and co-workers who are easy to communicate and work with daily, which I did have. After a while you start to see the inner workings of the company and how replaceable you truly are...resources to do your job are scarce, the residents complain and you're told one thing by management and it never happens, so YOU wind up looking bad. You can't trust anything upper management says. Morale is always low, the expectations of your position are constantly increased without any financial motivation (I only say this because the cost of living increases and let's face it, everyone needs money). Unrealistic goals are set for employees, and it's hard to reach these goals if you're not straight up lying to prospects about the conditions of the property. The dress code is ridiculous, your bonuses are paid months and months behind schedule, and the turnover of each property's employees is high. It's hard to retain residents due to the nature in which this corporate company is run, and then the employees lowest on the totem pole are blamed. I enjoyed most of my time with Edgewood, however if you stay long enough you will become quite unhappy, trust me. Best not to get involved in the first place.

I started with the company in September 2017 after leaving a very toxic company. I found the supervisor to be extremely helpful when needed and always there if needed.  As my time progressed with the company we had many management changes but from 2019 to 2022 the management team in Maintenance and community Management were absolutely the best team I ever worked for. 

I was unfortunately forced to leave do to an injury that I needed to nurse back to health and the requirements for the position of a Maintenance Tech III didnt allow for me to be able to do that, ABSOLUTELY NO HARD FEELINGS ABOUT IT.  spoke to the maintenance supervisor and the manager I had to make the decision that was best for me and my family.  I will be reapplying after my injury, that was NOT  a work place injury, is healed up and I am able to fully perform the needed duties.  

The entire team was like family, and those I worked with there when I left and those that left prior to me having to leave were and always will be part of my extended family.

I've worked for Edgewood Properties for thirteen years and truly love it. The community hired me with no experience in the industry and spent the time to advance my career and train me in the field of property management! I could not ask for a better employer, frankly. The PTO, the advancement, the contact and accessibility to my managers is top notch. Whatever I need, they make sure they can assist me and help me succeed at my position with Edgewood. I have recommended family to open positions and they are currently employed in another division and very pleased with Edgewood as an employer and the growth they have allowed them to have. I look forward to advancing my career with Edgewood and have no plans to leave Edgewood. It's a large company with a family feel. They truly care about their employees and successes, you don't get that everywhere.

If you have any respect for yourself then you will not even think of applying to Edgewood Properties. This company is most likely one of the worst companies anyone could ever work for. Any person that holds a position in upper management is not remotely qualified. They will let you go over nothing, even if you are the best, especially if you are too honest and actually trying to help the company. Extremely high turnover. You will never ever get a raise unless you get promoted and promotions are only given to those who don’t even work hard for it, only to the people who upper management likes and can gossip with. You will be forced to work weekends and shifts you don’t even want and will be promised certain things that will never even happen. Corporate does not care about residents that live on the properties either. Complaints every single day and no one seems to care. This place only looks good on paper.

They tell you to ask for help and say they can provide countless resources, but when you ask for help, they shame you instead and tell you everyone is stretched thin. Then you're right back to where you started, no assistance or direction. I had to train myself by being told to "look at what I did before and copy it". Most made sense and could be figured out, but when emergent issues arise and you have questions that are ignored or unanswered, it's useless. When you have another employee that wants to babysit everyone else, instead of them doing their job so you can do theirs, is shameful as well. Why pay someone double my salary to be a babysitter, than the person trying to fix all your problems...is beyond me. Also, everyone quits because they don't believe in giving employees raises that have been there 8+ years, over temp staffers that just started. This needs an undercover boss overhaul or a strike.

By far the worst corporation I’ve worked for throughout my career. Corporate directors are incompetent, management is not qualified and the company supports racism against employees from customers. This company is ethically immoral and will work their employees until hospitalization is required. The pay does not support the inflated economy, however you are expected to travel to different properties and make corporate drop off or picks up in your personal vehicle. You will be overworked, wearing several hats and completing tasks that requires a team as an individual. Corporate directors have no idea what happens at a property to maintain the business and does not care. Don’t work for Edgewood Properties and don’t rent from them either. Nothing luxury about it, cheap materials used and they hire cheap labor who the don’t pay. A joke, company should be ashamed.

Stay away! You will have anxiety, be micromanaged, lied to, underpaid and under appreciated. You will be worked to the bone and set up for failure. No regard to your personal life. Look at the turnover, it is the highest I have ever seen in the industry. The staff are like the cast of mean girls who constantly talk bad about each other and lie to your face. It is like a high school with zero appreciation. The top people have never been in the industry yet make all the decisions. They are very inexperienced in the industry and treat their residents and staff like filth. You have been warned!! The positive reviews are a cover for how desperate they are to get help. Finally if you are paid salary and work 80 hours a week one week, they will deduct from your pay if you have to leave two hours early the next. Don’t do it. If you value your life, your sanity and your reputation stay away! 

The company develops, owns and manages its properties. They are well built not like other multi family properties because the company holds its assets and not in the business to flip and make quick gains. Edgewood Properties is growing rapidly and has some growing pains but leadership is strong and there is tremendous support and structure so the future is extremely bright. You will work hard here and produce results, there’s no room for dead weight here. If you are looking for a great work/life balance, be surrounded by passionate and hard working teams, and led by a caring/hands-on leadership team then this is the company for you.

I worked for this company for a few years and so did my co workers. If you even lasted more than 6 months, you were considered a veteran and a long term employee. Every day at work I would feel an uneasiness and be in a constant state of anxiety due to corporate's ever changing policies and procedures. If you thought you were overworked, they will add more rules and responsibilities. Upper management creates a stressful environment and they do not care about their employees' mental health. These savages will threaten you a write up and give you no choice to do whatever task they give to you. The biggest regret was not leaving sooner. This is how 99% of the employees feel. You've been warned.
