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 worked as a Seasonal Office Assistant for BJB Properties at their Millennium Park Plaza location. I was there for the summer of 2024 and 2025. Since the start of the position, the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I was given responsibilities in the office that I enjoyed doing and had my ideas heard and implemented. I was also always made to feel important to the team, which may not always happen while being in a seasonal position. The corporate staff members were also incredibly welcoming and always willing to help with any questions that I had.

Cons

The corporate location can be located quite far from your office location. You won’t need to be here often, but in the rare occasion that you do, prepare for a bit of a commute.

Pros

- great training & point of contacts when it comes to having questions about anything from leasing to policy. -Pay was OK. It could have been better, considering that Chicago is a good place for real estate -You get to work in an office alone, so if you finish working early you can focus on other things

Cons

Some of the residents were dangerous and unpredictable, which made me question safety while working in my buildings.
