      We think they want to close Maryland office

      Pros

      Nice, fun young people to work with (at least they used to be until of late, everyone's miserable). Good comradery. Free parking!

      Cons

      The CEO hates the fact the you cannot record phone calls in Maryland. He has said this on a number of occasions. Management staff can listen-in and over-hear calls --> which they do all time; but recording of - is illegal in Maryland. Part of what we think Andy is doing with the recent changes is to enrage staff and force people to quit and reduce the overall staff; then eventually close Maryland office and move it somewhere else where calls can be recorded. We suspect, since Andy has taken out 4 floors in Richmond office; that various departments will be moved there.

      Pros

      If you want to work in commercial real estate as a broker this is a good start.

      Cons

      Be prepared for the most hostile work environment you've ever been in. There isn't a reason I can recommend to work for this company unless you are desperate for a job.

      The Best Decision I Made

      Pros

      Yes, I second a lot of the previous reviews, the benefits, pay and amenities are a big perk. More importantly, CoStar is a company that never settles. They strive to be the best in everything they do and will turn on a dime to change and make an impact where it is needed. In most cases, the research position is your start with CoStar. If you do your job well and professionally you will have ample opportunity to move up or into other positions inside the company (managers, analyst, CRMs, recruiters, sales, training, etc). A lot of the management consists of tenured CoStar employees and industry experts. The company is also generous with money when it comes to its performing employees. For employees that are underperforming in their roll, there is always a pathway to help them out. The culture is another big plus. Overall I enjoy working in a self motivating culture with a lot of hard working individuals around me!

      Cons

      CoStar is a 30 year old company, that at times will work like a start up. Expect to work hard but with great reward. You will always have your plate full and that is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, your days go by quicker this way. It is much better than starring at a clock.
