Pros

Great coworkers on your team, nice snacks, good gym but you'll never have time to use it. Introduces you to real estate industry and you can connect with some good cre people when you decide to leave.

Cons

The work life balance here is totally ridiculous due to the metrics. You have to stay late to try and meet the bare minimum for a bonus (which you will never receive). This place has such a big brother atmosphere and all the telephone calls are taped. You constantly get yelled at by brokers or hung up on b/c they don't want to talk to you but yet you'll get audited poorly for not stretching the conversation. This two minute phone call is bogus when people don't want to stay on the phone for 5 seconds. Management has there head up in the air and constantly push initiatives that the higher up managers think will work but there so detached how would they know. If you told them to call a portfolio they couldn't handle it. The weak managers, I'm sorry the managers who just say yes and don't push the envelope to actually make the company better are promoted. While the people who actually know what they are doing, who have trained the teams and often times the managers being promoted are the ones who are constantly ignored or put down b/c they don't want them to leave the floor.

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
