Pros

Great office space with nice perks an great location downtown, Ideal for someone straight out of college who has no idea what to do with their life.

Cons

Not a place to make a career. They promise you a bonus and take it away. Work is glorified data entry and is so mundane. In a way you are like a telemarketer, bothering people who DO NOT want to talk to you.

Thank you for your feedback. While CoStar Group isn’t the right fit for everyone, we’re developing new career paths for researchers to specialize in specific areas and work toward management and/or analytic roles, with the proper training included along the way. Bonus structure has changed from what it was in the past to become more consistent – now, all researchers receive quarterly bonuses, and the amount of the bonus is based on performance for that quarter.

Pros

I worked for Homes.com - Great first job out of college to learn a lot about sales and can make good money in the first 3 months - FIND PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THIS JOB AND HAVE LEFT AND FIGURE OUT WHY CUZ THEY'LL TELL YOU

Cons

I worked for Homes.com - You're doing 3 jobs in one and the pay does not reflect that - it is churn and burn. The average tenure here is 7 months - Management doesn't know what's going on 3/4 of the time. It is all up to the CEO and he's on his private jet more than 3/4 of the time
