Exciting, fun and challenging. Team driven with solid work ethics. Started a business unit from scratch and out an excellent team in place. Very successful in a short space of time.
There’s a slow start to one’s commission as you have to start on a zero salary and work your way up. You should atleast have 3 months money to keep you afloat when starting
I worked at Pam Golding (Mandela Rhodes Branch) for some time and these are few of the things applicants/new workers can expect:
* Favoritism in the workplace - Communication between upper management and employees are very difficult as you feel like you are getting the run around. Upper management has limited interaction with employees unless you do something wrong.
* Even when/if you choose to start at 5am or 6pm they will not allow you to leave a minute earlier. When you come late you are made to work in the minutes owed to them.
*With regards to time off work, if you ever apply for a day off they need a full explanation of why you want time off and three people need to sign it off before it's even approved.
*The only time you are allowed to take tea is between 10:00-10:15 and 15:00-15:15 PM. Lunchtime is at 12 everyday and this is not negotiable.
*They do not care how much work you do or even if you are better at your job than the next person. The rules are simple - it does not matter how hard you work as promotions are rare and few.
*They allow their favorite employees to get away with anything
*Don't even think of asking for parking EVER
Overall the experience with this company was the worst I have experienced in the property Industry.. You will end up doing all the PM's work while the PM get's his salary and to top that off you will be thrown under the bus around every corner. The money earned at this company is neither worth your stress or time. I have worked in the property industry for many years and Pam Golding, being the most well known name - more...
Nice staff and friendly management
Anyone is allowed to study and gets funding. Pam Golding takes Care of their staff. I would work there again given a chance
Pros

A typical day at work involved me going into the office at 8am, working through all administrative assignments and leaving at 2pm.
I learned a lot about Real Estate in this job. This job helped me to greatly develop my administrative skills as well as become savvy within the sales market. I learned professional people skills, how to collaborate and healthily compete with other colleagues and how to make a successful sale.
The management of Pam Golding always showed 100% dedication to the company. They were always ahead and on top of making sure that everyone did their jobs and that the customers were always happy.
The culture within the workplace was a friendly one. Everyone minded their own business and supported one another in whatever they needed to do.
The hardest part of the job would be when sales were low and targets were not met. This sometimes affected the employees, but everyone worked hard to do better.
The most enjoyable part of the job would be that the interaction with new customers and maintaining good relationships with existing customers.
Great company to work for as the brand is well know which made it easy to market n sell it's products. Great team n good support structure from management.
Lovely people to work with. Challenges with new processes always being implemented and poor communication. Agents are also tough to please, however - very family orientated, and more of a relaxed corporate environment.
I worked for Pam Golding Property in South Africa. The best property company in Africa by far. They have a very high standard of design in the services that they offer.

This was my first "real" job when I finished school.
working for a top 500 company was good and a lot of fun at the same time.
It was my initial introduction into the corporate world.
I learn a lot about publishing and being able to sell houses.
I eventually did a course to sell houses as well.
The culture is good. It is serious, but can also be fun.
The work week is standard Monday to Friday at my current location. The people and culture are lovely.
It's time to move on to something new and more challenging.
A typical day at work was long but enjoyable, i Learned many new traits as well as I grew in confidence and maturity. I learnt how to deal with people daily as i had to telecanvas. Pam Golding Properties is a family anyone would be proud to belong to and that was the best part about the job for me.
Great company with great structures. The agents were all about ethics and the respect for the industry was incredible. Would gladly go back to the company.

Rentals usually forgotten about, no proper support structure. Any new marketing and/or campaigns to be approved on multiple levels, slowing down output.
Good brand awareness and marketing and footprint.
Pros
Excellent commission structure.
Cons
Poor new management.
As I worked for an Estate Agent as the Office Manager, Property Consultant, Rental Agent and Landlord for the Companies centre, it was never a dull or typical day. It entailed working with different people every day for various reasons, be they Sellers, Purchasers, Lawyers, Municipalities, Lessors/Lessees and cleaners. I had an amazing group of 3 agents that I worked with and assisted before reporting to our Principal agent at our weekly meetings. I learned how to be organised, prepared and flexible to ensure that the office and everything it involved (sales, sales folders, communication, rentals, staff) ran smoothly within a fun warm environment.
Pros
People I worked with, monthly lunches, meeting and working with differrent people
Cons
Weekend work, late nights
I learned about real Estate and some tricks of trade.
Culture is non transformational, Cannot challenge status quo. must please the GM to be likable.
Pros
Lovely Brand
Cons
Lots of gossip and back stabbing
A positive and productive as well as supportive environment where one is encouraged to be the best at what they do and excel at their specific task. A genuinely brilliant group of individuals.
