Pros
Supports remote work structure in most departments. There are great people who are trying their hardest to make this company better. I hope sooner than later upper management sees and hears them because they deserve to be recognized and heard.
Kontras
Your voice and struggles are dismissed and ignored daily. The development department is allowed to run over any and every department to get what they want at anyone’s expense and this is the acceptable practice of the company, while the rest of the departments are not allowed to say ‘no’ and told to do what development asks no matter the request. Upper management reminds the company that NGR is a development company and the other departments are in place due to development team. Truth- the developers and land agents lack education and knowledge. They are allowed to be in the field as the face of the company. It is painfully evident the lack of knowledge they have in understanding the risk of payments that they negotiate or the knowledge of reading the legal description on the agreements being signed. The amount of land signed by this company on incorrect land due to their ignorance should be lesson learned. In reviewing agreements and payments on the operating projects, I was astonished at what was signed and put in place for the operation side. I thankfully had the opportunity to learn the process on how the development team went about obtaining the agreements through the acquisition phase. This made me wonder why NGRs Real Estate team would want to show up for work based on the abuse they take each and everyday from the development. It was insulting, disrespectful and down right mean how they were/are treated. I could not believe this behavior was an acceptable practice and ignored by upper management. Hindsight, I am embarrassed that I allowed myself to work for a company that allowed this and I am disappointed in myself for not pushing harder to fight for the other departments.
