Cons
The organizational function is based on acquiring and providing CRE data. The quality of the data is "garbage in / garbage out" - Markets that embrace transaction transparency are provided with a historical data base worthy of the service; whereas, markets that reward transaction confidentiality and fiduciary during due diligence are provided with outdated and inconsistent data. Research is the key component. If you are in sales, watch the movie "Boiler Room" and picture yourself in that environment. If you still think that you are an "A" player and thrive in a metric driven environment complete with supervisors monitoring all calls and movement, good luck! Annual turnover rate for sales & research personnel exceeds 33% and sales efforts are largely dependent upon the quality of the researchers adding territory data. Although the company is publicly traded, it is run by the heavy hand of Andy Florance with senior management personnel relegated to yes man / woman status.
