Pros

Inside sales provides a much faster commission and learning about the CRE industry from very knowledgable co-workers and managers.

Cons

Outside sales commission structure is much more difficult to get a grasp on with usage and annuities.

CoStar Group Response

Thanks for providing your thoughts on CoStar Group. It’s great to hear that you were able to benefit from Inside Sales – the commission structure fits well with the products sold and helps more novice salespeople gain expertise in selling for CoStar Group. As a company with a sales force that has grown significantly in the last year, we have to reexamine our structures regularly to make sure they remain relevant to the sales force and products we are selling. Effective March 1 a new structure and commission plan for Field (or Outside) Sales to be compensated fairly for their new sales and maintenance of existing accounts. With so much growth, management reviews the compensation plan on a yearly basis, and as we’re sure things will be different by this time next year, we will continue to evolve compensation and incentives to fit with the company as it grows.

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
