Report
Based on a recommendation by my management company, I called. Receptionist accidentally hung up on me when trying to transfer. She said she would email the service department the next time I called. Never received a callback. After 10 days, I reached out to the service department myself, explaining in my VM my commercial buildings, that I was recommended by my management company, etc. Never received a call back. 1 star was as low as I could go on this hugely unprofessional company.
