Pros

Salary is average but commissions are high

Cons

Salary does not = 40 hr work week. Expectation is to be in office or with clients from 8am - after 5pm M-F with no breaks or lunch & weekends are also fair game. If you need to be away more than an hour they expect you to TAKE PTO! They also record EVERY single call & Zoom mtg to review & critique later.

Thank you for the feedback about your experience. Know that we want you to be successful, as the sales team's success is CoStar Group's success. New sales team members spend several weeks learning and training with proven professionals. Our training team includes sales directors and vice presidents who started out in those very same training rooms, put in the time to learn our product and methods, and thrived. After formal training ends, we pair you with experienced mentors who are available to guide you and answer questions. We remain committed to providing information, tools, and resources our team needs to be successful. We wish this had been a better fit and wish you the best.

Pros

Benefits. Made friends. Office one day a week.

Cons

The worst experience ever. The Regionals in my office were so unethical. No leadership, lie after lie. No support. Company leads with fear. The CEO told everyone on a conference call that they sucked. Nothing is ever good enough for this company. They only care about their stock price. Everyone is miserable there. Management is a joke. When you ask for help, they can’t as they more than likely have never sold. Plus they’ll put you in territories that are unsafe and expect you to go.
