Pros

Pay well and give three weeks PTO

Cons

Obscure metrics that don’t correlate to success Taken away about every good benefit they had since I started here (no more provided lunches or Wednesday catering, no more meal stipends) I’m addition, this “hybrid” company has threatened to take away wfh the one day a week we have it Never told you’re doing a good job, only that you could be doing more to help carry the weight of several employees quitting in the last couple of months

Pros

I’ve gotten paid well working for costar, but sometimes I feel I’m the exception and not the rule. The clients are great to work with and I’ve built great relationships here. Commercial real estate is an interesting field to learn about.

Cons

No clear direction from management on our comp plan (which changes yearly). No one knows how much we will be paid or how. Management says we are not doing a great job of maintaining high activity but also don’t provide any direction on what we should be working on. They keep hiring more sales people and giving them accounts I’ve sold. They hired a new sales team to sell directly over the existing sales force, which have built a reputation of talking badly about the existing sales force both internally and to clients. Toxic work environment, unresponsive managers, no clear direction.

Don't do it

Pros

Benefits and 401K (if you can last); you can make good commission if you suck up and play their cutthroat game

Cons

Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly metrics; number of calls, emails etc. Managers can't act on their own; they are afraid of senior management and losing their job so they push agendas even if they know it is wrong; cutthroat sales team
