Pros

CoStar offers a lot of opportunity to learn about the CRE Industry. Like any job, you get out of it what you put into it. The incentive program can be phenominal for individuals who have the right work ethic and really take ownership of their success with folks earning in the thousands per quarter in bonus. There is never a 'boring' day and the company continues to be in a growth pattern that allows opporutnities continually for growth and evolution of processes.

Cons

The growth can overwhelm some individuals, there is a lot of change involved as a result. It is also very fast-paced at times requiring individuals who can sucessfully manage their time while multi-tasking. It is essential to be happy and successful with CoStar that you are flexible, receptive to change, and able to learn and adapt quickly.

Pros

Sit all day and play with computers in business casual dress.

Cons

Imagine manning an oar in the galley of a Phoenician war ship. Pull to the beat of a drum. Skip a beat and get the whip. No water for the weary. Zero consideration as a living, breathing human being. Your purpose here is to feed data to the computer. Period. Do not ask questions. Do not offer suggestions. Shut up and pull your oar. Rank-and-yank employee metrics are used to perpetuate high turnover, >60% in 2007. Spring cleaning has already started in 2008. Oarsmen falling like flies.
