After having worked at this company for a considerable duration, I feel compelled to share my candid insights into the organizational culture and management practices. Firstly, the employees under management are great in the departments I worked closely with at the company. Most were kind, personable, skilled at what they do, and helped make the company tolerable and I was lucky enough to work and learn alongside them.

However, regrettably, the same cannot be said about upper management outside of my department.

Throughout my tenure, I witnessed a glaring lack of effective communication and
transparency from upper management and corporate.

While I was there, l and numerous employees felt unappreciated, unheard, and out of the loop about decisions that impacted their role. Initial concerns were sent to corporate and they were dismissed. There were unreasonable expectations placed on employees, obvious
nepotism/favoritism, no formal training with majority learning along the way or having to seek answers, and management often stretched their teams thin with excessive
workloads and no raises or bonuses to make up for it. This business practice makes it difficult for individuals to progress in their careers and maintain job satisfaction because they are not allowed to enhance their skills, and eventually, they experience inescapable burnout.

My decision to depart from this company was driven by a desire to seek a workplace where employee well-being and fair job market compensation are prioritized. Also, where collaborative open feedback is encouraged and not dismissed. It seems like this company is set in their ways and lack accountability on so many levels. I recommend prospective candidates to scrutinize their decision before committing to a role here.

A typical day as a DON at the Isle at Watercrest begins at 0730 and ends around 1830.  There are no two days the same.  My days were spent careplanning on patients, meeting with hospitals, interdisciplinary teams and talking with families. I was daily assessing potential new admissions and tending to the floor and staffing needs.  I also kept up with the daily and weekly reports I was responsible for sending of to our cooperate company.  Our managerial team was very professional and enjoyable to work with.  We all looked out for each other as well as keeping the needs of the floor staff a priority.  The most challenging aspect of the job was trying to meet all the needs of the patients and staff.  I learned that there have to be priorities.  There will be some issues that arise during the day that cannot be resolved overnight. There will also be issues that arise that cannot wait until tomorrow to be addressed.  The most rewarding aspect of the job was the job satisfaction the floor staff expressed as well as the quality of care satisfaction the patients and family members expressed.  The Isle at Watercrest is a company that invests in its employees and believes that patient care must not ever be compromised.  It was an honor to be a part of that team for my duration in Texas.

Integrated is great at recognizing hard workers at every level. I have witnessed several employees advance from a mid level property employee to becoming higher level corporate employees during my seven years at Integrated. To name a few: (1) Assistant Maintenance at a property has become the Director of Plant Operations that oversees ALL Integrated properties. (2) A business office manager at one property now serves as a high level HR employee at corporate. (3) A manager in training at a property became the Executive Director at a new property and has since become the Vice President of Marketing and Sales (for all properties).

If you are a hard worker, Integrated is great identifying you as a future leader. When I started at Integrated, we were building an average of two new developments per year; in 2021 we are starting construction on 8 properties and for 2022 we have another 8 construction starts already identified.  This growth means amazing opportunities for existing employees. Integrated looks to promote from within, with 8 new properties each year, the growth potential at any level is vast. 

This workplace will never take your issues or feelings into consideration. The kitchen staff alone is amazing, but anybody outside of it is the complete opposite. You will never feel comfortable going to HR or management about any problems because they belittle any issues you’re having and overall giving you nothing to work with except the “if you don’t like it then you can leave” response. I started to notice issues when I realized their “important meetings” were about trash-talking residents living in their own facility, so who really knows what goes on behind closed doors at this job. Management chooses never to take responsibility, but rather to find anybody else to blame but themselves. The kitchen staff is an amazing team to work with, I have made some life long friends working there and quite frankly the only reason I stayed was because of them and the hours working with my schedule, but there’s comes a point where you have to choose your mental health over your job. Don’t work here unless you want to feel useless, overworked, and underpaid.

I am on the Multi-Family side.
This company understands that if your children are sick, you need to be there for them. Most companies hear that you're a single mom and don't give you a chance. When I was hired I realized that I was surrounded by co-workers that were single parents and a little bit of everything else. They did not turn me away- In fact, I have never been made to feel guilty or feel like I have to choose between my family or my work. There is an open line of support at all times with my supervisor. This is by far the best company that I have ever worked for. I almost left the industry completely, but this company has changed my mind. The support you are given is unlike other companies. The CFO and Owner will take their time to visit and give kudos. They always look to promote within first. I wish that there were a few more paid holidays, but honestly that is my only Con.

This place has so much potential, but the management here is by far the worst I have ever worked for. They constantly pile more work on you because they are to cheap to hire the help that is needed, and help that they promised you. The management here are all close knit drinking buddies who are like a group of teenage girls in high school. I worked here over a year, never once did I hear of an employee being told they were doing a good job. Instead that like to sit around in their office and play on Facebook/look at clothes online/play games. They provide no sense of direction, nor do they provide a structured work environment. I’ve seen first hand that they will sit around, and Hopsin about employees all day, yet they never take the time to address the issue with the person it concerns. Working here was the absolute worst experience I have ever had with a management team. Glad to be gone. I wouldn’t recommend working here to anybody!

I thought this job was great at first, good hours, not super stressful, great learning environment as far as cooking goes. Unfortunately I was physically threatened by a dishwasher there after a verbal altercation, and while he was not punished at all. I was told I was the problem and many lies about me from anonymous employees came forward. I wasn't allowed to say my side of the story and was written off a liar from people who were not even in the room at the time. So I would say if you value your character and do not wish to be part of company tribalism in which you must conform to their group or people will talk about you behind your back stay far away from this specific place. It was a shame because I felt we all got along, but I was wrong.

I wanted a place to feel welcome and stay for the long term, but I don't allow my character to be insulted or lies to be spread about me, and if you value that as well I would steer clear.

Integrated Real Estate Group is hands down the best company I have ever worked for.  This company is growing and progressing steadily.  I've worked with Integrated for 4 years and am pleased to see steady growth and a trend of promotion from within. A tight-knit company full of eager people who want to succeed, Integrated is the place to be if you want to continue to learn, grow and make a difference in your career.  Integrated lives up to its values, respects its employees, and its customers - making the experience enjoyable for all.  The opinions of all employees are listened to at Integrated and with a budding leadership team in place, I'm confident my experience with Integrated with only continue to get better.  Regardless of your position within the company, you are bound for success if you put in the effort and work with passion. 

I thanked God every day when I pulled into the Watermere parking lot!  It was always exciting and something new.  In the 6 months I was there, I was able to successfully build a thriving independent living community, including an activity calendar with activities which engaged our residents Mind, Body and Soul.   
My job was so fulfilling!  My servant's heart was totally filled daily!  The residents were so grateful and appreciative for everything. The culture was fun and co-workers were there to jump in and help each other when needed.  Great Team!  There was a sense of pride in representing this company.  I would work here again, but only under a different Executive Director.

I work at the Landing and it is a great place to work.  I have been here now for almost 6 months and it has been a pleasure and to work here.  They just had their Christmas party and the appreciation the families have for the staff was simply amazing.  All of the management staff joined in with the line staff and made it a great day.  I use to go to my other job wondering if this was the day that it would go under new management again. I don't have to worry about that here.  I come here daily with a smile on my face ready to start a new day and hope that I can put a smile on each face I see.  If you ask someone for help they are there to help you.  This makes for a wonderful team and you enjoy coming to work. The Administrator and the DON are two of the best employers you could ask for, always with a smile and their door is always open.  I can truly say that this is a wonderful building and a great place to work.
