Pros

Free lunch on certain days

Cons

Working at anyone home stresses me out most days! Having to sit down for 8 hours and take calls back to back with no in between time to simply breathe and look away from the screen was terrible on most days! They are usually understaffed on weekend days leaving a handful of people to pick up the slack with about 30 holding calls in the cue! They hire so many new people however this does not help those that are certified. When you are certified that means you are trained on all skills and you answer calls for all of the communities that Anyone Home partners with. Not to mention they have taken on hundreds and hundreds of more communities making it even harder on us. They have a handful of people that take calls for a property management company called EQR where they pretty much take a few calls throughout the day and work on emails, chats and other non phone related tasks! I usually see these people watching movies, playing on their phone etc while everyone else is stressing out trying to answer each call. Which sucks because they were also hired in to be property consultants as well however, several months ago Anyonehome decides to pick a few lucky employees to take calls for EQR Management. I mean literally it can be 50 calls waiting in the cue and all PC’s are stressing out while these EQR people are sitting back watching YouTube and all other nonsense! I feel so relieved that I no longer work here. Most people I comhe into contact with complain about the same things! If you want to be stressed out and miserable just about everyday then this may be the place for you. I would not recommend anyone to work here long term, make this a temporary place of work while you are seeking other employment opportunities.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Although it may seem like the grass is always greener on the other side, of the cubicle wall that is, all of our PC’s handle the same amount of monthly volume, regardless if they’re on a dedicated team such as EQR’s or not. At Anyone Home we believe in offering a fun and enjoyable work environment, which includes the opportunity to access the internet in between phone calls, emails, and chats. However, there are times as you also mentioned where we see a sudden spike in the call queue and there’s less free-time between calls. During these spikes all property consultants and team leads will quickly step in to help where they can. We’re very excited to grow as a company to continually exceed our clients’ needs and expectations. We appreciate the time you spent with us and wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors. - Megan Product Marketing Manager

Pros

Good thing we get chump change bonuses depending on your work esthetic

Cons

Workplace politics and groupism impact collaboration. Favoritism within certain circles creates an unfair environment. Limited career growth; employees stay for years without significant progress. New employees may find it difficult to stand out. Communication gaps; colleagues sometimes share incorrect or incomplete information. Weak management structure and unclear processes. Market reputation is not very strong. Inconsistent adherence to industry standards and customer requirements. Technical documentation and actual deliverables may not always align. Learning opportunities and professional development are limited.
