Jones Lang LaSalle Employer Reviews

The research analyst position was an internship I have completed throughout my education. My objective was to complete a Land-use map of the city of Toronto to help real estate agents locate where to invest. Meetings with the supervisor were held weekly at the office for updates. I have learnt many personal, and technical skills including punctuality, – more... meeting deadlines, and patience. In addition, Adobe Illustrator, GIS were in extensive use in order to get the job done. I worked along a colleague where we divided tasks equally. The hardest part of the job was to work with heavy CAD files which slowed down the computer and made a simple task turn into a strenuous task. However, I enjoyed the learning process which consisted of learning new softwares, and the relation between Urban planning and real estate. – less

The managment promises the world and delivers nothing, treat employees like garbage. By far the worst place I have ever worked.

Now, at first, I thought that maybe it was just the IFM team at my site but after reading the bulk of the other reviews on this website and confirming my suspicions with colleagues at other sites I can see that there is a global trend with JLL.
- Leadership style reminiscent of Stalinist USSR!
- Difficulty, if not utter failure, to adhere to regional – more... regulatory standards. This will catch up with with them when someone is seriously injured or a government audit comes through.
-Company refuses to purchase proper equipment (possibly due to management's inexperience with SKILLED trades?).
-Overload middle management. No work-life balance; "on call" should not mean call them everyday on their time off.
-Salary employee remuneration and incentives fall far below market averages. That's without taking into consideration the nature of their "on call" policy and the average hours they work in a week. A normal week appears to be about 50 hours, seriously!
-Trades, you're looking to be making the same as what my son makes as a third year apprentice electrician. Don't bother complaining to the union either, they may as well not exist.
- Now, they have done a few good things, but putting it into perspective, one good deed does NOT outweigh the 50 failures it took to get there. – less

Inexperienced management made for a very poor working environment. A very high turn over rate due to mistreatment of personnel.Very long hours.

Had I known what I was getting into when I interviewed, I would have turned around and ran the opposite direction. From the start, I was mislead about compensation, growth potential and workload. I was overworked, under paid and you can forget about appreciated. The brokers didn't care about you or how much work they gave you, just that it be done on – more... their time, which was usually yesterday. The management felt the same and little concern was given if you were overworked or have serious issues with other personnel.

And do not bother to seek out any help from higher up or anyone in HR if you have a grievance, they don't like if you refuse the Kool-Aid. If you consider yourself of no value, like being paid considerably lower than what you have earned previously, and like to be verbally abused by managing directors, management, and brokers, then this is the place for you. – less

Jones Lang LaSalle has been a great starting career company for me. The account I deal with, AT&T Mobility, is very high volume and has given me a tremendous amount of experience not only with using a different accounting system, but also working with high volume accounts. The co-workers I work with have been very helpful and friendly from the start. – more... There is never a slow moment working with this account because everything is high volume and there are always work orders being sent in to us that need payment. – less

There is never a typical day. Every day presents new challenges and opportunities. Do not seem to have enough time in the day to accomplish what all is needed to be done. I personally prefer to not be idle waiting on something that needs to be addressed. However, I do not feel as though the hard work and individual accomplishments, cross training to – more... other engineers is recognized and appreciated. However, overall JLL is a company that I would recommend to others that are motivated and have a high skill level. – less

Call center that was in high demand. As soon as you walked in the calls started. Calls came in back to back for 8 straight hours. I definitely learned how to multi-task as well as paraphrase which was important due to the calls being timed and all the information needed to complete the call. Due to this being such a fast pace environment my co-workers – more... and I weren't able to form any kind of relationship however they were good workers overall. the hardest part of the job was the fast pace and the micromanagement. – less

Excellent HSE, Work System, and Operation Management people.

Amazing Employees!!!

Working with the building tenants is great!

Had to oversee on 3 sites all moves to and from sites over 100 people

I learned that working hard can be very productive.

My co-workers were nice people customer sevice in a #1,

The hardest part of the job was working with co workers who did not know there job

I plan my work schedule ahead of time. I like to work on interesting projects. I am a stationary for 12 years. My engineering background made more responsible and dedicated to my performance. I like fishing and spend my free time with my kids.....

Great experience in a large, well established corporation.

As an Office Manager, Busy all day dealing with all Finance, HR and Administrative matters in the company, I have learned how to work different with different multi tasks within a day and meeting deadlines, However team was quite supportive in terms of replacing me during my absence and during my presence in meetings outside company.
It was enjoyable – more... job to do, challenging but never hard to achieve goals. – less

- Received incoming call from Property Managers and Maintenance to repair Citi Bank properties. Anything from changing a burnt out bulb to flood in building. In which, I had to make outbound call for critical emergencies.

As a Laborer in a high rise office building, I was expected to move funiture for changing venues on a daily basis. The work day also included many varied building repair and maintenance tasks inside and out, and tenant requests. The pace was fast and the job rewarding because the goal was always customer satisfaction before anything else. There was – more... a large staff of maintenance people of various trades and we enjoyed each others company whether at work or a company outing. – less

Open and understanding company. An average day starts checking alarms and ends on the computer putting notes in about the day.

First Responder, first to be on the scene of problem with building equipment. Secure the situation, notify proper maintenance people, or make repairs yourself, if under an hour. Always on the move, inside or outside. Increased my skills in plumbing, Hvac, electrical, construction practices, codes, working safely.
Management was in flux, and at times – more... seemed to falter and place blame on others. Immediate management level, ie. shop level, was spot on, stood behind his people, along with scheduler/planner who assigned and kept track of our perfornance. 80% of co-workers great to work with, team spirit was good. Hardest part of job was keeping client (building occupants) happy. Best part of job was the get togethers after major job completed, put on by co-workers. – less

Company understands ones life is busy and is willing to adjust hours and timing to allow for other issues
