Pros

They are pretty open about getting in on the ground floor to learn about the business and start a career in real estate, even if you have no prior experience. Good opportunities to grow as they like to promote from within.

Cons

The pay isn’t great so employee turnover is drastic, not uncommon to see many new faces at the start of busy season and gone by the end. You work a ton which is nature of the business, but they hate approving time off. Their bereavement time off is nonexistent.

Pros

I have been working for BJB Properties/ BJB Evanston for close to 10 years and I can truly say that BJB CARES. For those that claim that BJB doesn't care it is not true. Employees are treated well and there are many individuals that work very hard each day to continue to develop a successful team. Like any other company you’re required to follow a schedule and do your day to day duties. When you do, it is seen and rewarded. Employees are appreciated, but you need to try and do your best. I started working for BJB as a leasing consultant/office assistant and was promoted to a property manager after several years gaining experience. This proves that there is room to grow in this company. BJB has been accommodating and generous to work with me (and many other co-workers of mine) by adjusting the schedule so I/we can finish our education and graduate. BJB is a family-owned company, and they know their employees really well- meaning you’re noticed! I cannot express in words how blessed and thankful I am to be able to work for this company. We spend the majority of our time at work and having a good working environment is very important to me. BJB has made me happy and successful. They listen to our needs, appreciate feedback, and make changes to be sure we maintain a high level of service. Special “Thank you” to our wonderful owners, HR Department, and the rest of the team for being amazing. I treasure BJB for the opportunity they have given me throughout the years.

Cons

Seasonality of work: During the summer period, work can be a bit overwhelming; however, this balances out during the off-season when the market slows down.

Pros

Outside walking building. Not stuck in a cubicle. Meeting new people daily. High volume market place. Generally a younger work force. Provides 401k and benefits for full time employees.

Cons

If you do not have the family name, you will be treated differently. Little to no consistency between managers. Buildings are run down and consistently have bug problems, they're "vintage". Set the price of living, but won't give employees a price of living wage increase. Commission pay is the same as it was in the 2000s. Work 6 days a week including Sundays. Sometimes work 12 days in a row without a day off.
