Pros

You get the Costar brand name You get to see the different roles in Real Estate, meaning, you interact with property managers, brokers, appraisers, and have the opportunity to attend meetings to see Investors talk about the current market Insurance is amazing-talk about dental, vision, health---you get a nice allowance or low copay You get to meet many recent graduates You get free snacks, fruits, oatmeal, and juice/milk Tickets to Verizon events at their corporate box and a nice metro subsidy every month It's a nice paycheck to keep you working and occupied out of college, but that's it

Cons

Management is young and has no idea of what's going on There is such a large gap between upper management and the working body, therefore, you'll almost never get promoted past Manager. They just recently promoted some Managers to Director after working there for maybe, I don't know, 7-10 years. High turnover rate YOU do the SAME thing after a while-researching deeds, calling same contacts, updating portfolio Not really a business job-it's more cold-calling and convincing people to give you information over the phone If you are looking for analytical work, if you are looking to get promoted quickly within the company, if you are looking for opportunities to advance your career, look elsewhere. If you need an immediate job, just apply, but still, apply elsewhere.

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
