Research Associate - Anonymous employee CoStar Group Employee Review

The expectancies of your manager are unachievable. You are under a microscope at all times and your work is constantly reviewed to make sure you branded the company properly. The company cares more about the image they have than the actual information added to the database. Top brokerage firms who pay thousands a month are constantly reminded how many people look at our website, yet researchers will fumble to get the right information added because we are told to focus on the amount of calls we make. No matter how much work you have to do, you are told to just make calls until you hit your number. Little room for advancement. You can become a research associate II, but it is literally the same thing as a research associate I with a slight pay increase.
