CoStar Group Response

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear you did not have a positive experience at CoStar Group. We value everyone who works here, and they should feel valued at the same time. But it sounds like you missed out on some of the great opportunities CoStar Group has to offer. The Research department has a multitude of growth opportunities constantly being offered to employees – more managers are promoted from within than hired externally, and as an expanding company many researchers have taken advantage of the opportunity to move to a new city or focus on an expanding market constantly being offered. We also welcome internal applicants to our open roles in other departments, which gives employees the chance to take their next career step with the company, even if it’s not in Research. But as with every job, Research isn’t for everyone, and we wish you the best of luck in the future.

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
