Excellent Place to Start or Revive Your Career
Pros
CoStar is a great place to start your career out of college, as well as revive a stalled career. When I started a year and a half ago, I thought the Tenant Research position would be a transitional job, one to hold me over until I found something more in my field. In that time, I've grown to enjoy my job most of the time. If you rely on your managers, they will help you develop your skills and understand the importance of the work and research being conducted. Being a call center environment, one needs to understand the importance of the metrics and being held accountable for the work being done. Clients count on us for complete and accurate information. For that, we are paid well and given benefits that exceed most expectations. We are also given a monthly lunch allotment, free snacks, incentives, and access to a company chef.
Cons
Expectations and assignments can change quickly. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it could take time to adapt to the changes. Again, understanding the why of the reason these things happen will make the job a whole lot easier.
