Toxic Culture, Unethical Practices, and Disregard for Law - Project Manager Crest Real Estate Employee Review

Systemic Unethical and Potentially Illegal Practices: Management consistently engaged in or condoned highly unethical and potentially illegal activities. This included, but was not limited to, the forging of official signatures for building department approvals. Environmental Disregard: Advised clients to prematurely remove protected or endangered trees from development sites before necessary surveys or official inspections could take place, undermining environmental regulations and due process. Deliberate Deception: Engaged in the falsification of critical engineering or architectural calculations to push projects through the approval process, creating significant risks. Discriminatory Workplace Culture: Openly tolerated and participated in the use of derogatory and racist nicknames for plan checkers of color within the office environment. This behavior was shockingly prevalent, even as the same individuals were later approached for professional favors at the building department. Hostile Post-Employment Actions: The company demonstrated a pattern of aggressive and punitive actions against former employees, including attempting to impede future employment opportunities. This suggests a deeply problematic and vindictive management style. Lack of Integrity: The overall culture demonstrated a profound lack of integrity, prioritizing quick approvals and client demands over legal compliance, ethical conduct, and employee well-being.
