CoStar Group reviews

This company doesn’t have a close on how to run a business that will keep employees for more than 6 months. Job duties changes every week right along with performance goals. Middle management is terrified of upper management because they are threatened with the loss of their job when the numbers are low. Costar is very strict about talking to your desk neighbor while working to pass time. It is very micromanaged and I have witnessed some managers treating and talking to employees like scum. The job is easy but it’s repetitive and boring. The moral is so low that ppl don’t care about the quality of the job only the quantity to meet their numbers to stay employed. They laid off a whole department in waves of hoping that ppl will just quit do to the hostel environment that they created. The company is shady and doesn’t value their employees or take suggestions on how to improve the department.

Your employment is completely reliant on metrics that are impossible to hit. Majority of the commercial real estate industry hates CoStar because they are a monopoly and operate on a "take it or leave it" attitude. This means your portfolio will consist of people who hate talking to you every month for over 90 seconds and therefore will not speak to you making it once again impossible to hit the required metrics. There is absolutely zero room for growth at this company. You will sit with a headset on at your desk for 5 years before any kind of change in your career. You are treated like a child. You cannot look at your phone, talk to colleagues, or anything unless you are in a designated "common room area." Feedback you provide from your clients will never go further than your manager. Once again they operate on a "take it or leave it" attitude. No body knows what is going on or how to fix anything EVER. There is a huge disconnect across all departments. You reach out to one department to fix something and they tell you to reach out to another and so on. After 5 months of back and forth maybe it will get fixed or your client will have already blocked your number and canceled their subscription. Keep in mind you will still be required to call them every month. Honestly I could go on and on. This place is horrible and an embarrassment to have on your resume since the industry hates CoStar. Save yourself the stress, do not apply here, and find yourself a job you can be proud of.
