Pros

If dull work gets you down, you will appreciate that there is hardly ever a dull moment. Great supportive team to work with and learn from. The owner, Ben is extremely smart and knowledgeable. As a team we are encouraged to make suggestions about improving processes. He listens to ideas and will take action to get them implemented. Telecommuters are provided with everything needed to work from home. The work-life balance this provides is extremely nice. My supervisor is hands on, knowledgeable, and cares about her team. She is always very understanding and proactive in working around “life” circumstances. Could not ask for better management! The company generously caters lunch bi-weekly during meetings, as well as offers other employee "perks".

Cons

Must be hard working and a team player to enjoy working here.

Pros

Great team to work with for more than three years now. A great mix of people who are dedicated, not afraid to work hard and their efforts have paid off as Ben, the owner, is the #1 ranked real estate agent in the WORLD! The first real estate professional to receive a Guinness World Record for home sales. Just Google Ben and listen to one of his videos or podcasts and you'll get an idea of how smart and down to earth he is. He is willing to listen to a different point of view and if you back it up with facts, he's flexible enough to change his mind. Not typical in a CEO! But Ben loves the real estate business and his clients more as much as anyone I have worked with in the past. So if you are customer-centric, not afraid to laugh, work hard and be surrounded by really great people, this is your place.

Cons

You have to be comfortable working with a team and being held accountable for doing your work well. If you are not dedicated, loyal and want to be part of a high profiled leader, than this isn't the place for you.

Pros

I am headed into my 4th year here at HomesUSA and I do not see myself leaving this company. I have learned so much about IT and development. It is really cool to have an idea to improve our product, and then get to watch it come to fruition. I really feel like our ideas are valued, if we don't like something or think it can be better we can take it to our team and to Ben and we make it happen. That's the beauty of working for a smaller company where the CEO is right there with you. His open door policy helps to make me feel like my thoughts and onions matter. My manager is the best boss I have ever had, any problem I have ever gone to her for help with, she has helped me come up with ideas for a solution. Hard work pays off at this company.

Cons

If you are not willing to work hard and contribute to a team with creativity, knowledge and passion for what you are doing you might not like it here.
