CoStar Group reviews

Company is almost 30 years old yet it feels like it just opened its doors yesterday. The processes and ever changing metrics that are used make you feel like upper management has no idea what they are doing. The research managers act like they have been here for years yet they were hired the same time as everyone else. None of them started at the bottom like the rest of us and had to cold call hundreds of tenants a day to confirm information. Congratulations, you had limited managerial experience and that bumped you up the pay grade of everyone else. The type of work you do here is extremely repetitive and tedious. Everyday is the exact same thing. Call hundreds of business and confirm information. Not to mention you are phishing for data that most people are not willing to give out. You also have to pay to park in the garage and there is no other option other than parking several blocks away to avoid the cost. For a part time employee half your paycheck is going to just parking your vehicle. There is limited upward mobility and while you can eventually move up, if you have no managerial experience you are never moving out of the research department. No one becomes a manager starting in research and if you do it's because you got lucky. There are certainly better roles here and if you have managerial experience you can by pass all the hard work and watch others do it all day while you sit on your throne.
