Pros

Snacks in break room. Very nice office. Shuttle to and from Metro Center. Ability to attend off site 3rd party Improvement courses (i.e. Excel advancement). Room for moving up

Cons

Very long hours in order to complete your job with no end in sight. The more you work, the more recognition given. Lack of job flexibility. It's clear that within upper management there is a lot of friction. Lack of communication interdepartmentally.

CoStar Group Response
11y
What does stem from the CEO is the extensive list of benefits offered to employees and continuing education opportunities. Many of our employees recognize that, and work hard to produce amazing results. This is a competitive industry, and as a result many of our employees are naturally competitive and willing to put in extra work to shine, which we can’t see as a negative. As with any corporation, we want to reward those who go above and beyond for their company, and while it can be tough at times that is the nature of our contract specialist role. As you said, we encourage our employees to be able to grow at CoStar Group and love to see people develop new skills and be promoted to new positions. Particularly for our contract specialists, we know they work very hard to meet the needs of a company that’s growing rapidly in the number and size of contracts we work with on a daily basis. With time, that department will continue to grow as well to appropriately meet the needs of our clients. Our upper management works very well together, and the success of the company is a testament to that. CoStar Group has become the industry standard for accuracy and amount of commercial real estate information, and we continue to move toward even greater achievement.

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
