Pros

-Flexible working schedule -The boss has a very good knowledge of the field that I haven't experienced at other firms -Willingness to teach us/be a leader -Listens to constructive criticism/adapts -Offers more responsibility if you are up for it

Cons

-It's not downtown and I do miss that life (although not the commute). -It does take awhile to become an MAI, although Mr. Argianas has helped where I don't think I would have had the opportunity otherwise. -If you're just starting out, expect a few months to a year before you can begin to reach higher earning potential. -High standard for report writing which I did not experience at other companies.

Real estate appraisal and consulting is a very tough profession. It takes years to hone ones skills to high levels. We honestly try our very best in good faith to provide "true to the process" services. Respect for our employees and meeting client expectations are our highest priorties.

Pros

Micromanagement creating very bad work atmosphere. Using archaic work methods minimizing the productivity and discouraging the employees. No career growth opportunities for experienced candidates. Low profile clients.

All Argianas colleagues are trained to high-performance levels assuming they are willing to listen. Our firm is not for everybody, but those that succeed easily outearn their industry peers at other companies. The person that wrote the above review obviously was unhappy and he has since departed, Argianas did not micromanage this individual, but rather, there are image and quality standards that must be met. Because client expectations are high, Argianas is not an easy company to work for and the person that wrote the review incorrectly perceived he was being micromanaged. Argianas clients expect critical thinking/ problem solving and professional articulation/ writing at the highest levels. Argianas' clients include some of the largest lending institutions/ institutional investors and high net worth individuals both domestically and internationally. Just because an ex-employee writes a review like the one posted doesn't make it true. Charles Argianas, MAI, JD, President - Argianas & Associates

Pros

Argianas has seen 6 of its appraisers earn their MAI designations over the past 7 years. The pay is a base plus incentive, most appraisers easily make at least $75,000 +/Year. The firm has an excellent reputation and it's services are credible and respected throughout the financial community. Benefits include PPO health insurance, life insurance, and 401k matching.

Cons

The hours are long and hard as seen throughout the real estate appraisal industry. Some Argianas colleagues earn in excess of $150,000/ Year but at the cost of long hours and attentiveness to detail.

Compensation levels for Argianas appraisers easily exceeds those of our competitors. We work longer/harder hours than most others & do whatever it takes to meet and exceed client expecations. Our professionals receive base salaries with full benefits. Quarterly bonuses are earned & paid out based upon one's performance.
