Pros

Flexible hours. Good place to start a career. Decent health insurance.

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

The practice from 5 years ago has completely pivoted. New services offered, new hires, new admin/direction, a complete 180 from the direction previously.

Cons

If we have problems, we voice them, admin hears us out, and often there are changes. There are cons periodically but the attempt to correct them and that matters to me, I don't want to be stuck somewhere without change or growth

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.
