Company Reliability and Communication
The reviews highlight a lack of communication and reliability from MACK companies. Many reviewers experienced issues with the company not responding to emails and calls, leading to frustration and uncertainty. The company's failure to communicate with property owners and tenants resulted in lost security deposits and rents.
Employee and Management Issues
Several reviewers had negative experiences with the company's employees, including the owners, property managers, and maintenance teams. The father-son duo running the company was called "idiots" by one reviewer, while another reviewer described a property manager as having "little man syndrome" and being prone to harassment.
Maintenance and Repairs
Maintenance and repairs were a significant issue for many reviewers. Some experienced long wait times for scheduled maintenance, while others had issues that were never addressed. One reviewer had a leaky foundation that was refused repair, while another had a tree fall on their house and was left without a back porch or roof for over a month.
Customer Service
The majority of reviewers felt that they were not treated as customers, but rather as mere lease agreements. They experienced a lack of care and concern from the company, with one reviewer stating that the company only cared about the money.
Positive Experiences
However, two reviewers had positive experiences with the company, citing helpful property managers and prompt maintenance responses.
