Ramshaw Real Estate Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I was hired by Ramshaw Real Estate during the Summer of 2016. I had read and heard all of the horrible feedback surrounding this company, but I was eager to dive in and, as a marketer, I hoped to improve its reputation. Less than six months after hiring me, the company chose to eliminate my position very suddenly. I was verbally promised two weeks pay as severance and trusting that this family-run business was led by decent human beings, I did not request to receive this promise in writing. After I was laid off, I put my personal feelings aside and tried to do what was best financially for the company. The day following my termination I sat and organized all billing for my department and delivered it to the home of the accountant, as well as cancelled all recurring charges to the company credit card that were originated from my role. When I did not receive any of the promised severance within the next two weeks, I contacted the company who told me they had “elected not to do this,” and that “it wasn’t in writing so [they’re] not going to do it.” I had to consistently pursue them to compensate me for wages they legally owed me. It took them “careful review” to “feel” they had to abide by Illinois State Law. This is how they treated one of their own, who was hired to MAKE them money. Imagine how they treat their tenants and customers, who are just another dollar in their bank account. This company lacks any moral compass, values, or ethics. They will run over anyone and everyone just to make a buck. I am embarrassed to have worked for them, and encourage everyone to stay as far away as you possibly can."
