Pros

I can say I worked for a BIG CORPORATE company They have great give-a-ways to clients

Cons

LIE, LIE, LIE They sell you this bridge but it's all a LIE (all depends on your Regional) and my Regional HANDED things to his "FAVORITE REPS" Reps who worked for him elsewhere, that he hired and brought over to Apartments.com. He LOVED to "train me" while talking on speaker phone from his truck! Costar is ALWAYS making changes, they ALWAYS have a vision, they ALWAYS want to take over someone, something AND be the BEST.....

CoStar Group Response
11y
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry you didn’t have a pleasant experience working for CoStar Group. You’re right that a managing role at another company does not fully equip someone to manage at CoStar Group, and we offer training to managers so they are able to more effectively establish professional relationships with each and every one of their employees. All employees should feel equally valued by their manager, and a situation like this should not be repeated. But in terms of the changes we make, our vision and our determination to be the best, I don’t see how that can be negative. We know the information technology field is competitive and the apartment listing website market is particularly cutthroat, so by looking at all the goals we want to accomplish we continue to work with the big picture in mind. CoStar Group started as a small company and has grown enormously, but we still have a long way to go – the changes we make within the company help to prepare us for further growth in the future and help employees excel. We know some of those changes can be tough to adjust to, and we appreciate employee feedback to see what needs more 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
