Ingerman

As an employee that gave it their all for the company and been there since the beginning of the construction process.  I was treated very unfairly.  Spoke to any way and treated differently than others.  All I did was suck it up and continued trying my best.  One day the assistant got mad because the the manager above her told me to do something and I did.  And in a group text between all the bosses she said I was disrespectful and insubordinant. But don't say that about herself when she's went into apartments and because the way it was maintained said black people must live here smh. 
 Went to ask why I was being called that for doing what I was told and she just started screaming at me and I ended up losing my job.  No warning no write up no nothing.  Just sent home for the day with pay.  Then I get the call they decided to let me go.  So yea I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.  Your job isn't safe.  They can fire you at any time.  Also very racist and like talking about others.  I've walked past the office and heard racial remarks before.  They even talk about the handicapped person that works with us.  They laugh and joke about it.  Just heads up what kind of people they are.  I did respect the company until I found out what they were about.  A community that only cares about raises,  no tenant issues no nothing.  Leaks and other repairs tenants had to wait over a year to be fixed.  What's even worse is why so many repairs for a brand new development?  Because the owner furnishes the place with cheap appliances and hire the cheapest most unprofessional contractors they can find.  Then when the issues construction left they expect the employees to fix it.  Glad I'm not there anymore.  Never worked in a more stressful place in my life.  Oh yea,  never bring an issue up to hr.  They will fire you.  They only take complaints from people they like or know.  The property manager had more than 7 complaints and no action no nothing done.  I got 1 complaint that was a lie and I got fired smh.  Just an example!  Also an alcoholic manager that takes her work and personal problems out on you whenever she feels like it or whenever 90 proof isn't flowing through the veins. Nobody deserves to be put to work there.  They will kiss your butt to bait you.

a typical day is not that bad. The easy part is the typical day. Working on files, providing applicants with leasing information, etc. I've had to learn by trial and error due to the lack of training provided by the company. They have started giving us some online training, but it's not the most important training modules that we need. They need to train in Yardi and Payscan. Yardi is not the most user friendly system and half the time you have to click every button to find the one you need. Compliance training is pretty good though. 
The values of the job is great, but the culture is not the best. If you're regional is mad at you, she stops communicating with you or can stop you from advancing to better position even though you have the skills to do it. She may also send your assistant to a different property prohibiting her to contact you or come back to the site saying that you are unable to do anything. If you're willing to bow down and tell them they are awesome even though they give you instructions that are against compliance rules, then welcome to the Ingerman culture. This applies to only some regional managers, not all.
HR is another story. They look after the company and not the employees of the company. They will tell you they care. They will tell you to talk to them if you need anything, but when something does happen, they sweep it under the rug. In other companies I've worked with HR has been amazing. They make you feel as if you're part of the family and they will help you out. Thats why they are there, for the employees. They go by whatever lies one person says and believe them. 
People that have not been in the company for years are the nicest people ever. Those that have are quick to throw you and everyone around them under the bus. So watch your back. Don't trust everyone. Give minor information to certain people to see how they react and who they tell.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You gain experience because the supportive departments do not want to do their job. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unless you are a "favorite" or easily manipulated. They will bully you to get you to quit. If you dont quit, they will isolate you. They would like you to be mind readers- instead of providing training. If that does not work then "go read it off the Ingernet". Policies are written by a general counsel more for protection than training/understanding purposes.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cutthroat.  Instead of believing in developing the teams. They like to push you to be better by telling you how horrible you have done and who is the favorite one. HR is not there to be fair. HR is there to protect the company and manipulate employee records as to protect Ingerman from liabilities. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It is great when you are the property manager and you create your own positive atmosphere and stay productive. When the Regionals are in a bad mood, they will retaliate, sabotage work, and bully you. If you contact HR you will be retaliated against.

The support with Ingerman is beyond great. My coworkers are very nice and my supervisor is the best. They inspire you to do better and help you with your goals (both professorial and personal). The only bad days I have had were due to some tenants but we handle things as a team. 
They are like family to me. They show compassion and willingness to help in some way. This job has been a blessing to me. 
Very diverse group and so much to learn from everyone.
Not saying that everything is roses and sunshine but when you are working with people you should expect small conflicts at first until you understand who they are and how they operate.  Communication is key with Ingerman.
They will work with you.  
Just do your job to the best of your ability
At conferences  you are fed very well. Hotel rooms are nice..Bonuses are a plus every 6 months. Room for growth.

Being there for a short period of time I experience lapse and judgment management and consistent with communication the need to feel like a dictator and also king of the world.
Management also was only focused on numbers and keeping the residents happy at the same time the grounds the facilities the equipment were bismal horrible and horrific.
There is no sense security for the worker there was constant activities that were illegal around the whole property and management refused to create a safe environment for its employees let alone the residence.
Being as though the company was supposed to be a  faith based atmosphere there was no faith being displayed in any type of higher power due to the fact of the lying and mistreating their employees and also inconsistent with promises.

I learned a great deal during my time with the Ingerman Group! Ingerman has an anthem of team work that is preached and practiced! . I worked with 2 VERY TALENTED women (Property & Assistant Managers) in Maple Shade. Working with this team made you feel as though you weren't at work at all! I was also apart of one of the Greatest Departments in the entire Company (Community & Supportive Service Dept.) which was led by an AWESOME Director! The hardest part of the job was getting residents enthusiastic about participating in various events and workshops that were presented. Most enjoyable part of the job was helping residents find solutions to problems and the quarterly Supportive Service Department Meetings with the rest of the team!!!! I truly enjoyed my time working with this company!

This is the worst company to work for, they dont care about your safety, there isnt any training and they are slum lords. This place was a nightmare, the  worst job experience  of my life. The properties were disgusting  and unsafe, the back log of work was outrageous  and the management offices were dirty and unorganized. They gave you the unrealistic goals to meet but don't give you the proper  training, the staff or support needed  to accomplished  them. The Regional Manager is not supportive to his team.

the maintenance men are treated with no respect. no matter how hard you work they find a reason to tell you you need to improve. some of regional managers are rude and take forever to get in contact with someone even when there is an emergency. no one likes to take credit for things that go bad.some residents are wonderful its a shame to leave them behind.

A typical work day would consist of morning staff meeting, reviewing emails, checking voicemails, answering inquires pertaining to billing,

I learned how to effective communicate with corporate heads in order to provide accurate billing for corporate events.

Management was very hands on in engaging and promoting employee into the culture of the job.

Co - workers for very respectful.

Staying late to construct and specify large corporate billing packages

Most enjoyable was the friendly staff

I cannot say enough about my amazing experience with Ingerman over the last three years. Ingerman is a growing company that is constantly developing and changing. At Ingerman, my boss is not just a boss, but a mentor and a great support system for not only myself, but all that he oversees and interacts with.  I have had to opportunity to grow as a person and a professional and continue to do so.  I love the fact that we get to interact with all levels within the business.
