I gave a 1mo notice to resign, 2weeks before my departure , as I was walking into work ,I was told by my Portfolio Mgr that they "decided" to let me go early. Which I felt it coming, she was bitter and mad Because i called the owner due to TFJG not wanting to make any accommodations due to my health conditions and they still didnt after the owner approved it.  I was informed 4hrs after they "decided" to let me go early that the PM was trying to find things to make me look bad, couldnt find anything wrong cause i did my job,she tried to turn nothing into something, tried to turn the staff against me (which didnt wk!) One thing I know for sure is that I did my job very well, even when I was THROWN to the wolves, when we first took over this property, all the late nights, disrespect from the residents, being yelled at, cursed at, break ins, robberies, and ALL the ISSUES the previous mgmt company left behind to clean up , being stressed, ETC.. I DID THAT AND I DEALT WITH THAT!! Which the owner and the PM know I did a great job and praised me and the team!  Instead of being petty, say thank you for making it easy for the next manager!  Now that you have left a bad taste in the staff mouth and image with your poor work ethic, careless, unskilled, incompetent, sloppy, unprofessional, high school shady attitude, good luck finding a new staff that will STAY!!! 
*Not a good look for TFJG!!!*

Zero professionalism needed. Foul language is optional. So is Integrity. Shiesty and sketchy behavior encouraged. Blame shifting is an ART there. At least 5+years of dishonesty. Lying is a lifestyle there. Shameful character and cutthroat leadership and coworkers. No planning or organizing. Just wing it or lie it  about is the motto. Coworkers constantly gossiping and backstabbing each other while smiling to their face. Remember to always play the victim. That's what anyone working under you will do. They know who they are. You will learn quickly who this person is. Not 1 person likes the job or Company but are cowards when it comes time to tell the truth. If you're a decent person now, you won't be when you finally had enough of the BS . You just want to puke in your mouth just listening to the fakeness of Management and some coworkers. You couldn't write a better reality show if you tried. PLEASE stop by any 1 of their apartment complexes and talk to the RESIDENTS FIRST BEFORE YOU TALK TO THE MANAGEMENT !  You'll be informed of the truth before you live or work there. 

Most Hostile Work Environment Ever!
This company has earned 5 stars for “worst place to work”! From corporate to the site management. I had never been so disgusted with how issues in the workplace are handled. The manager is a narcissistic, condescending individual. Uses his position to make false accusations about people to avoid being accountable. Encourages gossip, bullying, and harassment. Corporate does nothing to resolve it. Just looks for ways to hide the information to avoid losing contracts with owners. Meanwhile, workers are subjected to this behavior everyday. This is a complete insult to people who are truly looking to grow their careers and are dedicated to the company’s mission. After looking at the entire culture of this company it shows that their has been a lack of leadership training. This company grew faster than they expected and didn’t double back to make sure their management was held to the upmost standards. They are just happy to have place holders to gain more contracts. I would advise both investors and job seekers to look else where. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO TRUST!

What I was hoping to be a reputable company in which I could grow was soon to reveal itself as one that fills a need for itself yet doesn't have structure enough to make sure their managers/employees are equipped with the guidance, support, clear expectations and company knowledge to be an effective manager. The dynamics of my property was unique in which everyone was new and the Regional lived in Florida.only seeing her twice in 6 months. I came on board being given 2 tax credit properties/100+ w/o's /along with vacants/shorthanded in adequate help while working alone for 3 out of 6 months. After such time I finally met a Regional Operations Manager(over the phone) and his Corporate floating techs as they come into town to berate, embarrass and slander my integrity/work ethic. I thought my answers and call for assistance was being answered only to see them driving a bus with everyone on board to put me under it. They needed me for that reason.

My experience at Franklin Group was highly positive, largely due to the exceptional skill set of the team. A typical day involved dynamic collaboration and innovative problem-solving, creating a stimulating work environment. I learned a great deal about effective teamwork and strategic thinking, which significantly enhanced my professional abilities.The workplace culture was vibrant and inclusive, promoting a blend of diverse skills and perspectives. The hardest part of the job was adapting to fast-paced projects, but this challenge fostered my growth and adaptability. The most enjoyable part was the strong sense of community among colleagues, where everyone supported each other in achieving our goals. Overall, I highly recommend Franklin Group for its outstanding team and collaborative spirit!

Most of the individuals working at The Franklin Johnston Group are great. Had I not had some of the more recent experiences I have a had with management, I would highly recommend the company to work for. However, over the past year I have been severely harassed by one of my supervisors, and recently, it has gotten out of hand. When attempting to bring these issues to HR/higher management, I have found that not only did I not receive any support with the issue, but that it only continued to get worse. I do not feel there is any support for lower-level employees, and to add to this, the room for advancement for said lower-level employees is little to none. If you do not belong to the inner circle of individuals in upper management, the company quickly can turn cut-throat. I prefer working for a company where I feel I am part of team, with the company's best interests at heart. I do not feel this is the case here.

A typical day at work can be long if you are not prepared. Everyday functions should be a breeze, but can also be challenging. Things come up here and there, that's life. I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be an abundance of maintenance personnel, which would be nice. If you're use to a good one-on-one training session, forget about it. If you're use to company events, you may be able to attend the annual event they have. It would be nice to see more events -to allow team members to meet other community staff / learn from one-another and build a bond. The hardest part of the job at times can be training yourself on sudden policy changes. The most enjoyable part of the job is work/life balance. This company likes to promote within, this is great!

The franklin and Johnston group is a company of a bunch of sheep without a sheppard. There is no structure or clarity not even one day with the franklin johnston group. You hustle 120% percent and it's still not good enough to management and everything you accomplish the day before becomes complete vanity because there's always someone telling you how to do your job without actually doing there's which is vital to you completing your tasks. I tried to take the shovel from them while they dig there own grave but they insisted on keeping it! With all Honesty This is the most pathetic, unprofessional, condescending, ignorant, arrogant, ridiculous, self defeating, cutthroat, company I've ever worked for! If you want a career with a solid culture, this is NOT it.

Typical day is fine, but they will pile on extra work with unreasonable deadlines. They can be micro-managers as well. Though the company will hold events, like the annual employee appreciation party and annual holiday party, any awards are almost always given to the same community/staff. Don't become too good at your role, because you will not be promoted so they won't have to find your replacement. Don't help other staff or communities, as your hard work will not be recognized by upper management except in informal compliments to you directly. Benefits are pretty good but they could be better. Be prepared to be overworked and underpaid, especially at a LIHTC community.
