Pros

The people you work with and the fact that there is free food.

Cons

Absolutely miserable place to work. Commission structure changes constantly and what they tell you going in about the potential to make a lot is completely false. List are no longer given and you are stuck calling the same people over and over just to make 80 calls when the list is less than 20 people given maybe once a month if lucky. You are forced to "prospect" but most of the time if you find a worthy potential customer, an AE will call over and steal your deal entirely. The system is so messed up and unfair and make it nearly impossible to make quota. Work life balance is terrible. You have to clock out every time you even venture downstairs to grab a snack. You are constantly watched and micromanaged. It feels like an adult day care but while in time out. They are good at selling you the job during the interview; however, don't fall into the trap. You will regret it forever and be constantly miserable. Save yourself and STAY AWAY! People that work there are constantly dropping like flies; the turnover rate is insane. CoStar is a revolving door of employees. Not a place you want to start your career, or to ever work.

Pros

free snacks, decent healthcare plan

Cons

Overworked, underpaid and upper management could care less. Metrics seem to change on a monthly basis and aim to take more money away from researchers. The job will burn you out. You're making hundreds of calls a day to apartments communities that don't want to talk to you and even though you are working your tail off, management only wants more out of you. A girl quit last week because her manager was harassing her about her coming in late due to her morning sickness and she was a top performer. The good managers leave because they get tired of the craziness there. There have been 11 managers that have come and go in the last 3 years, 2 center managers and 1 director that got fired. Some of us are stuck here because we don't have college degrees but if you have one, don't stay.

Pros

I worked for CoStar for over a year and a half as a Client Services Representative. Good Medical, Dental etc benefits. Pay is decent.

Cons

Client Services is the bottom of the food chain. Management and executives doesn't care much about you and rarely gives you feed back. They show favoritism primarily for the Sales agents and Account Management. Client Services was rarely involved in meetings and was rarely asked for input on issues. Management is completely disengaged to Client Services unless absolutely necessary. The office was completely unstructured. I have over 12 years of Client Service Experience and this was the worst job I have I have ever held.
