Pros

There are some great employees that work there. Pay and benefits are decent. Furthered my career experience.

Cons

Terrible communication at every level of the company. Poor training of new employees. Lack of support from the HR department. Unqualified people promoted to leadership roles. Lack of promotion from within. NOTE- In the 6 months that I worked for Anchor, 10 employees (including myself) gave notice and left. This all occurred in ONE relatively small office, and does not include departures across other offices within the company. Let that sink in for a moment. 10 employees (most of them having been there for at least 2 years) left one office in a matter of 6 months, That alone points to some serious management and leadership issues that were, and still are, unaddressed.

Anchor QEA Response

Unfortunately 2018 to 2019 resulted in a year of change with several transitions including a temporary HR team that had to quickly support the organization. This period of change resulted in some missed communications and some ambiguity as there were new roles created, staff moved into new roles and other departments experience organizational changes. However, all these changes and transition were important to set the stage for growth and advancement. As a result of these changes, the company has now established a new HR team, continues to work to provide development opportunities to staff and continues to review and establish best practices for coordination and management of work. At AQ we believe that is important to offer our employees a Total Rewards package that addresses financial, health, community and worklife needs. We strive to provide competitive salaries and conduct on-going market reviews for all the positions in the organization. Additionally, we review our benefits package beyond basic healthcare benefits to ensure that our employees have a broad selection of options that support their personal and professional lives. Ensuring that we preserve the great vibe and culture of the company and we support the growth and development of our staff are key priorities at AQ.
