Pros

-Fun paid training in Washington D.C. -Not stuck behind a desk

Cons

-Management only cares about "getting the shot," regardless of any difficulties you might encounter while on location; i.e. angry property owners, personal safety issues (I once had someone try multiple entry points to break onto my vehicle with me in it). -You're alone all day every day; that might be a pro to some people, but it wears on me. -Pay is not really very high for the amount of work done and what is expected of you. -Commission schedule does not take into account the region of individual researchers; not everyone works/lives in densely populated areas.

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
