Pros

Annual sales conferences, President's Club trips, etc. Training

Cons

A commission structure that's so complicated that no salesperson can actually calculate lends to the perception that it is not fair. The highest Salesperson turnover I have ever experienced with 4 out of 5 leaving within 1st year.

Thanks for leaving a review. We value your feedback and your time with us. We appreciate your comments on the commission plan and will pass it along to sales leadership as we are always looking for ways to improve the sales commission plans. We also see that you were in a relatively new location, while we regret the high turnover, we’ve just hired a new Managing Director for Canada who will lead the sales team. We believe having a local leader will make a significant difference for the sales team and its stability moving forward.

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
