Both negative reviewers described the company as "the worst" and reported unprofessional behavior from management. They claimed that their voices were not heard, and that the company prioritized profit over people. One reviewer even accused the company of stealing money and called for an investigation. The other reviewer described the house as "unlivable" and in need of being shut down.
