      Pros

      Good benefits Stable company with cash on hand

      Cons

      Churn sales people and research so that customers have no respect for the people who actually represent the company. Base salary is lowest in the sector and is based on your past 3 years earnings, not your previous work experience. Management is afraid of the people at the top and are all coverings themselves and leave sales people to fend for themselves. Commission structure changes every year, and is not competitive with other sales jobs. Metrics are too much of a priority. The company is not in touch with the rest of the business world...they do things the "CoStar Way"

      Pros

      The office is in a great location and the space is very nice. Pay and benefits are relatively good for th job.

      Cons

      I was excited to start at CoStar because I wanted to work in CRE. However shortly after starting I became disillusioned. By setting up metrics so that researchers compete against each other and against other markets, they really undermine the team spirit that a company should have. I felt disrespected working there and felt as though my manager treated me like a child, even as I was performing in the top 30%. Setting QA's metrics so that they profit from researchers' mistakes is seriously unhealthy. I am now in a job that I love. My boss trusts me and respects me, and in turn I am incentivized to work hard, and I'm rewarded for it. I'm writing a review because after a several months away from CoStar, I realize that they offer a truly terrible work environment. Now, I am almost excited to go to work each morning because I work with great people toward a common goal, compared to pure dread for going to CoStar. I would not recommend that anyone accept a job with CoStar. I hope that this forum helps potential employees know about what they will face there.
