CoStar Group reviews

Terrible downline management, unqualified management from vice president level down to field (with a few exceptions) - maybe a result of trying to let people grow into their position? (unlikely) Regional vice presidents and regional managers literally do nothing (this isn't a disgruntled judgement, as I actually like the company) and have zero power or influence (no p&l accountability, etc.) just quota responsibility, which can easily gloss over the glaring lack of managerial talent due to sales people succeeding without at least mediocre leadership. Success is often determined by external factors (of course personal ability and desire are factors too) such as your territory economics, how many other costar employees are competing against you, and your managers on-boarding and training ability. No long term potential here if career growth matters. There are many longtime account execs though, very happy with their roll and paycheck, knowing that they will never go have more responsibility than their account exec job - many of them make very good money considering their roll (low 6 figures)

There appear to be a few reviews that have been written by HR recently. Let me tell you how it is. Any feedback to the contrary will be answered. 1. You have to do unpaid overtime because there is not enough time in the day. 2. There is an air of depression in the call centres (thats what they are). 3. Staff are talked down to and belittled. 4. The team managers are not there to help but to watch you. 5. Bonus is almost unachievable and if you do get some it will be minimal. 6. I have seen untalented people and cheats get promoted because they say the 'right' things. 7. Feedback is not listened to. 8. There is a mentality that thinks it is acceptable to hire and fire at will. 9. The upper management resent the staff and treat the foot soldiers like scum. 10. Most people are looking for a way out. All of the above is true and can be proved. All in all it is a soul destroying place to work. Do not settle for this.
