This complaint encompasses the entire organization including the apartments that The Medve Group manages including managers/owners. CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION!
Let me tell you of many eye opening experiences. I have never witnessed such unethical, demeaning, corrupt owners in my life. On a regular basis women cry in front of other fellow employees because of the comments being projected in a demeaning manor to women. Large amounts of people quit or get fired on a regular basis, extreme turnover! Lots of yelling and putting down of employees happens all the time. You will become a victim if employed. People constantly get harassed physically and no one does anything about it. The owner continues to get away with both physical abuse and mental abuse. No one as of yet has stood up to the the company, The Medve Group, because of fear. It is a privately held multi, multi million dollar corp that is controlled by one single person Jake Medve, along side with his side kick Daniel Medve. Beware that these two individuals will do everything they can to yell, curse, exploit, aggravate, sabotage, mis inform, mis lead anyone who they come in contact with. The company owns several apartment communities in several states most of them are called the Arts Apartments. You can visit the website medve com if you wish.
As far as the apartments them selves and how they are managed, is pretty much the same. Over priced under managed. Keep in mind an average leasing agent will be employed with t he company about 6 months so the person your talking with about leasing an apartment might only be there a few days to a few weeks this includes managers!. Employees are constantly being fired. Also don't expect anything to get done because nothing ever does get done with all the hiring and firing going on all the time. If you have an issue in your apartment and you can't get it fixed no matter how many times you call the leasing office, well just forget it cause it will never get done just you will have to live with the apartment the way it is forever.
If you plan on working for or are currently employed by TMG OR The Medve Group, here some factors to consider. You will get called an idiot, You will get yelled at, you will get fired or quite from all the abuse, you will be over worked and over stressed because you will have to do all the work from people missing getting fired all the time, you better re-consider before joining this group of folks! Privately held, muilt million dollar corp with 1 person in charge that won't take advise from anyone, I REPEAT ANYONE! even outside well seasoned experts.
Soon you will see and when you do it will be too late because you were tricked to stay and be loyal to a company that don't give a Fu*# about you!.. BEWARE... BEWARE... BEWARE...
I am a current employee of TMG aka The Medve Group and would like to disagree with the above accusations. Mr. Medve is a business owner, and a good one at that. He is successful and his real estate company has made it through the recession. Like most business owners, he is eccentric and passionate about his company. Usually, when you work directly with executives at this level, they are highly demanding, impatient, and all over the place. That is why they are successful business owners. Not everyone is cut out to work directly with C level executives. The Medve Group owns and manages 27 properties and employs 250+ employees. The bigger the company, the more opportunity there is for disgruntled employees. I will say that although there is high turn over within the Medve Group, it's very standard compared to other property management companies. It's normal in this industry. I would also like to add that there are many employees that have been here 10+ years. There is always good and bad in any company. None of the employees are chained to their desks, they continue to be employees here at free will. This company buys C level properties and renovates them to create a better community for their residents. In turn, rents go up because there are more amenities and more accommodations are offered. This is called smart business. Every property has its own struggles and as a company we work hard to work through them one at a time and make the resident's overall experience better and better. As the person above mentioned many times...this is a multi-million dollar corporation. It has been around for about 30 years. If the owner and company was truly corrupt, I guarantee he wouldn't have made it this long. There is NO perfect company out there...you just have to find the right fit for you.
I completely agree and just posted my complaint about Medve on here too. I was mentally abused for 90 days until they fired me after just giving me a bonus for such a great job. These people are nuts! They are installing cameras in all on site offices so that the Owner Jake Medve can sit there and watch what his employees are doing. He just fired his personal assistant after working with her for a long time after he got suspicious of her and fired her. It's crazy! The Medve group is the most unethical place I have ever been subjected to. Karma really will come back to bite them, it always does. I am only sad I won't be around to watch the payback. I wish them good luck in the future and I hope they learn to treat their employees better.
LOL and the Medve employee that posted on here is already probably fired...that's the way they work. I think Daniel and Cassidy get off on back stabbing and firing people. I wish them both a life of happiness!
Your the same fired employee...
HateMedve: Guess what, same MedveEmployee here. I am still employed! :) Have you found a job yet? LOL
I am employee of the Medve Group too, and while I've been treated pretty fairly so far, and I think what people are saying is the complete opposite in some cases. I think it's hard as hell to be fired from Medve for poor performances and misdeeds within the company, in fact they promote you.
Take for instance, one of our regional managers out of the Irving office who has a gambling problem, admittedly he books fake work trips to the cities where we have properties that have casinos. He purposely schedules and creates work trips to these three cities to have all expense paid trips to gamble on the company dime, and eat free meals all week off the company.
Not to mention, he uses the corporate apartments for his friends to stay there as a free hotel and he uses the units as his own private brothel for the people he meets online (including tenants). It's such a liability to the company and yet no one does anything.
Managers have complained to corporate before, but nothing ever gets done. While others are fired for minuscule things.
It's just amazing.
The above complaint is absurd. I have worked in an audit position for TMG for 5 plus years and I can assure there is no way any of the above would be allowed.
I am a tenant of an apartment complex that MEDVE Group manages in Corpus Christi Texas and I have spoken to 3 different people there. I spoke to a Brian that called me back from Louisiana and Cassidy and a Will that are in Irving. Thats what the phone number said that came up anyway. Here is my issue... I moved in to the Saratoga Cove apartments in November last year, didn't have any problems everything was fine. But, after two or three months went by people moved in above me and I noticed they would smoke weed and the smell came in to my apartment from the vents. I didn't say anything at first. It started getting bad with the smell, horrible stench. I complained not once but more than 5 times. I even made copies of my complaints and took them to the office to have them put in my file. Needless to say not a thing has been done about the horrible smell coming in to my apartment. I have been paying almost $1, 200.00 a month to live there and my lease is up on November 10th this year, I spoke to the manager on the property ( Carolina ) last Friday about leaving early without any paying any penalties just whatever the prorated rent would be for October and Carolina said she didn't see that being a problem since she had a lot of people wanting to lease. BUT THENNNNN she calls me yesterday Sept. 25th saying she can't let me leave. I told her I had another apartment lined up and I CANNNNOOOT STAND THESE GUYS CONTINUING SMOKING WEED AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. She said " how do you know nothing has been done " my adrenaline rises I YELLED AT HER " BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL SMOKING WEED! I told her. I have called the courtesy officer several times. Carolina told me she was going to put a letter out since she courtesy officer just went out to my apartment last Sunday on the 17th of September. But again the guys were smoking this past Saturday. However, Cassidy whom I spoke to from the MEDVE Group said their apartments are not a smoke free complex and they cannot control what people do in their apartments. So she is basically telling me that Saratoga Cove Apartments allow illegal drugs in their apartments for whomever wants to live there. All that Cassidy and Brian kept telling me was that i have to finish out my lease and put up with the weed smell going in my apartment and my grandkids ( 3 yr old and a 7 month old) that come over have to put up with the horrible smell also. So now I have to get an attorney involved.
I am curious to know if you called the police or the housing authority? I do not work nor live in the apartment but that is what I would do. The apartment complex (as far as I know) can't legally do anything. I'd call the police. As a parent and a non drug user I'd be very upset. Good luck
Does anyone really work at the company who posts on here?
This company sucks, I worked at the Broadway location and I hated it from day one office personal was nice but cassidy is a unfair untrustworthy women who shows favoritism towards who she likes, I was fired for missing work for my daughter and I had the doctors note. Glad I got out of there and had plenty of copper and brass with me to make up for her letting me go.
