Real Estate Market Researcher - Real Estate Market Researcher Yardi Matrix Employee Review

Set my own days / hours, good pay

Long driving distance at times

Work from home. Flexible hours, but inconsistent.

I've worked at this for a position year now. When I started I was making around $10/hr...now it is down to $8.50-9.00. Where else could you work for a year and see your paycheck DECREASE 10-15%? When I started they were paying $0.60 for "done" Survey...now it is $0.45-0.50. If you get an answering machine they used to pay $0.10, now it is $0.07. You used to be able to get a "bonus" if you completed 104 surveys in a week...now it is 130 surveys so basically they eliminated the bonus. Not really worth it, when Target is paying $11 to start and you don't have to jump through hoops. To get hired you for rent Surveyor you have to study a 50 page detailed manual and then pass a 44 question test. You will spend days studying just to get hired. SMH. The other negative is that you have to spen your entire day lying. They call it "playing a role" but it really is lying. When you call apartment complexes you have to pretend you are looking for an apartment...even though you don't live there. This requires even more elaborate lies just to make your weekly quota. If you say you are taking a survey, they will terminate you.
