Working at Laffey Real Estate: 7 Reviews

Owner is the downfall of the company. Respects very few opinions even from experts he has hired. Micromanages and speaks down to staff who actually look up to his knowledge, but in they end up defending themselves or being chastised. So many meetings a day at times you barely complete your tasks and are rushed though lunch (if you take it at all). Penalized to staying to late to complete tasks because the 6 meetings (or more)that week set you back. Admins are providing work and reports daily for corporate office, as well as managers, and May have 50 agents to assist. If 20 agents are added, and you have 70 agents you just have your duties and 70 agents to 1 admin. No pay or benefit change. No extra weekend admin help. No OT,… just extra work. On top of that admins are -customer service, events, meeting coordinator, sanitation, compliance, accounting, HR, recruiting, marketing, IT, social media, and more depending on the day. If you want a great admin, they are at Laffey real estate being overworked and underpaid; they do it all and deserve to be treated with more respect.

You have to teach yourself everything. Training is good but can be better. You need more support in the company to start off which is not really given.

Difficult for Advancement

Marketing Director/ Brand Strategy & Positioning (Former Employee) - Syosset, NY - December 23, 2018

Unless you are a real estate agent, this can be a dead end company that leads you nowhere. Employee morale is good, paid time off, vacation days, no benefits. Nice work culture.

Pros

paid vacation

Cons

no benefits

It’s Time For A Change!

Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) - Great Neck, NY - October 4, 2018

I absolutely love the people I work with. However , I am looking for a career that includes benefits and a salary that will cover my cost of living. My current job has strict rules regarding scheduling, none of the administrators are permitted to work more then5 days a week and there is absolutely no benefits or overtime. My current job is also bi-weekly pay, and I think I would be much happier with weekly pay. I am a friendly upbeat person who loves to go the extra mile in all tasks that I do. Incorporating my creativity and expertise in marketing, advertising, and web design in a timely manner that is efficient.

Pros

The job was close to all public transportation and many great options for lunch, close to all.

Cons

No benefits
