Pros

Good Training, Excellent Colleagues, Innovative Products. Paid expenses, full array of tech devices given to employees(Apple & Lenovo) & plenty of branding with apparel etc...

Cons

Management has a hard time figuring out how to figure anything out. There is a lot of frustration because of how decisions are made and who is put into the better roles. Senior leadership grasps at straws to come up with a new strategy, which never seems to be well thought out and as employees we are just to supposed to deal with it.

CoStar Group Response
10y
Thanks for providing feedback on your experience as an employee. The Sales department has recently undergone significant changes because of rapid expansion of the company, primarily through acquisitions that have added a large number to the sales force. In order to adequately integrate all the sales forces together, the task was approached from multiple angles and the pros and cons weighed before any decision was made. On the individual level, the leadership team considered a number of factors before determining the most appropriate role assignment. We continually assess what roles/levels are needed in each market and make changes regularly as business needs dictate, and do quarterly reviews of career path promotions as well. We know necessary structural changes won’t always please everyone, but we have been able to better position the department for future growth as our members of the sales force continue to close outstanding deals and make significant headway in the industry. We value our employees’ feedback, both current and former, and take reviews like this into account as we work constantly to make CoStar Group an even better place to work.

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
