Emails i'v sent with list of complaints about Timber Oaks Apartments.
Ma 3, 2016
My name is Anna and I am writing to you about your employees at Timber oaks Apartment. I will start off by insisting they go through better Training or be fired. As someone who runs a Business that has been around for the past 28 years, I would never have employees work for me with horrible costumer service skills, and are as rude as the ladies who work at Timber Oaks. I can sit here and make a complete list of skills and Task the Girls at Timber Oaks CAN NOT take on but i'll list their Top Three.
Answering the Phone: while this can sometimes be a tricky Task having to pick up a phone and say "Timber Oaks Apartment, My Name is Anna, How can I Help you today?" its a very long phrase and for some difficult to remember, it is still their job and is what they are getting paid for, right? I understand that at times they can be busy and have people in their offices so they can't answer the phone right then and there, but if I could put a number on the times I've called Timber Oaks Apartments and compare that to the number of times they have actually answered the phone I would say they have been able to answer a good 10% of the time. One example was when I called over 20 TIMES in 5 hours because there was an emergency with water coming through the celling, it was raining and I had to go to work at the time I noticed the water pouring down in the guest bed room. so I spent my whole work day trying to get ahold of the office and NO answer. But like I said, only 10 out of 100 times have they actually answered. I would love to tell you that I'm over exaggerating and the workers at Timber Oaks are amazing at what they do, but sadly I cant.
Aside from not being able to answer the phones they are even better at NOT KNOWING how the online payment for Residents works. I leave my office at 5pm and work an hour away, I go into work at 7am so being able to "just come in" as I was so rudely told to do to pay my rent because all three girls didn't know how the online system works, isn't very easy to "just do". I took off work to do so and was told they didn't know how it works so I could just pay a check every month. my rent has been late last month due to this online payment system, last month it wasn't even working correctly and the site was down and I let them know that on the 1st but we still had to pay a $75 late fee.
Another horrible trait these employees have learned/ or picked up from God only knows where is their lack of common courtesy. for example my husband and I have added another garage to our Bill because we needed another parking spot, as there is NO extra parking as I get home from work causing me to walk a great distance from my car to my apartment.... but that was fine, all I had to do was add another $95 dollars to our bill and get another garage, I actually liked the idea because there was a garage that opened up right next to ours. after I signed for the garage, it took 3weeks to get the remote to open the garage.... I was told it was going to be left on the counter in our apartment but everyday I got home it wasn't there, again I get home at 6ish and the office hours are from 10am-6pm. so I would just have to call the following day and if they decided to answer the phone, they would just lie and give me some excuses to why it wasn't there and that it would be there that day. I waited 3 weeks. that would be unacceptable with my employees.
Some of the Girls I have dealt with are Denies(AM) she doesn't know very much and isn't very helpful, I guess she might be new. Blair(GM) you would think she would be very helpful being the manager but....NOPE. and Kelly (from what Kelly told me, she doesn't work there that she is just a "Temp" while everyone was out of town until Thursday) she told me she couldn't help me. this was today actually, I was calling to make sure our rent we tried paying online was paid so that I didn't have to pay another $75 late fee, as I make great money but am not made out of it. her response was "well I'm not trying to be rude, but if it doesn't go through you will have to pay the $75, I can't help you so I need to get off the phone now". and that was it. real professional...
I am the first to compliment someone when they are doing a good job at whatever it is, I am the first to leave good reviews but sadly I also have no problem leaving bad reviews.
these employees need better training or you should find better people who like their job to take the place of the people you have there.
I've also been given another persons lease agreement when I requested a copy of mine and, they kept my Wi-Fi box for a week without telling me they signed for it and had it in the office, and locked us out of our apartment twice and accused me of changing my own locks.... horrible management. DONT MOVE HERE! I'm paying over $1,500.00 a month to get treated like this! CRAP APARTMENTS. read more
