Colliers

Colliers International are a flexible company who strongly believe in work-life balance.

Each day I was in charge of decision-making, such as answering visitor car parking emails; and if all parking spaces full for day requested, I was responsible for either approving or denying the request, depending on position of employee requesting visitor parking.

I also maintained company security and confidentiality, at all times, by always asking to cite valid personal identification of all external guests visiting the building and only issuing a guest pass to visitors prior approved by an Westpac group staff member (registered in system) or if the visitor knows name of the Westpac group staff member they are visiting and if they can display valid identification.

The only challenge associated with the job was that my strong point did not lie in the IT field, an essential part of the position was troubleshooting minor IT problems such as AV and fixing errors with automatic desk risers, and I would consistently request assistance from colleagues and management, only to be given the response that the Company does not have the appropriate resources and time to take in having one-on-one follow-up sessions in any IT issues/challenges faced.

I highly believe that Colliers International are an already fast-growing and inviting Company, and with further focus on individual coaching sessions with employee facing any work-related difficulty/further clarification, have the ability to advance as one of the world's most successful Property Management companies.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time as Concierge at Colliers International.

Don't let yourself get sucked into the perfect facade the Perth office puts on for visitors and new employees. This place will suck the life out of you.
They do not care one bit about their employees, most departments are under staffed and extremely over worked with unrealistic work loads placed on them. This company is more focused on their image than actuctually ensuring their employees have the correct tools and resources to do their jobs adequately. Most of the procedures and programs you have to use are longwinded, slow and involve a lot of double handling, added more work/time to simple tasks.
Over the time I worked there, I would say there was an adverage of at least 3 staff members leaving per month and it was very easy to see why. While I wont go into details there is a toxic culture within the company and I have never felt such a relief as I did the day I finally left.

Colliers International was the best professional experience for me. In both the Brisbane and Perth offices, I was working for teams, in which the members were respected and admired in their field, and there was a hard working ethic. But your hard work was acknowledged and it was very much seen as a team effort, including the support of the administrative staff, working towards the team and the company's success. 
The hardest part but also a good learning part and overall experience was the high pressure environment. I find that when on the spot and when deadlines are to be met, that I can multi-task and get everything done efficiently. This only happens when something unexpected arises however, as in my typical days at work, my time management and prioritising the workload, and communication with team members, meant that all work was done within the time frame that was needed, and with minimal supervision.

I worked at Colliers International for over 10 years in administration capacity, I enjoyed working at Colliers International most of the time, however the role can be stressful at times, which causes problems for me as I have a disability. Management aren't flexible with work hours like letting you go to the gym in your lunch break and expect you to do unpaid overtime all the time, which is hard for me as I have a disability. The salary for administration staff is entry level and you will struggle to live on the wage. The best thing about the place was the people I worked with who were all lovely people and I got along with really well and they have amazing staff benefits.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The colleagues were friendly and supportive which made a tough job a bit easier 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Systems not customer friendly. All about the big end of town.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very good locally further up a different culture 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Computer screens mostly, lots of phone calls putting out fires. Recactive not pro active

Management protect and cover-up upper management who take advantage of their position
A boys club, filled with directors who are male, drink at lunches and co e back to the office and abuse the female staff
A toxic workplace, lacking in integrity and honesty.

CEO swears at Management team, doesn't reward success or effectively monitor effort. 
Typical Admin manage Sales team with a very unhealthy dose of lack of ethics.

i worked at colliers as an assistant property manager. I processed work orders, took client inquires, and distributed breeches of bylaws to tenants. I had to relocate because i worked for them in Perth, Australia and i had to move back to the states.

I constantly felt unsupported and personally attached by management. The people I worked with were lovely but management needs to brush up on their people management skills. Loads of employees left feeling unappreciated and drained from gossip culture and lack of recognition. 

What a mistake I made working for this lot.
Dreadful culture zero people centric ethics 
Run a mile!
You will get overloaded so upper management get the bonuses you don't!
Zero commission....zero car allowance and don't expect a pay rise.
Very strange operating model.
There's much better out there.
