Pros

You never have to take work home with you

Cons

Terrible pay. Long hours, unpaid lunch break, The goals / metrics are ridiculous and utterly unrealistic. The goalpost keeps shifting every few weeks. Nobody can ever catch up on the work. The methods being used (calling tons of people) are old fashioned, irritate the brokers, and are ineffective / inefficient. Just receive everything via email, and only call if there is an urgent need for clarification. Company likes to pretend it's a cool tech company, but it's really a very old fashioned company.

Pros

This company makes a strong first impression during the interview and training process. Unfortunately, my experience after onboarding was very different. Decision-making is highly centralized, leaving employees with very little autonomy. The company emphasizes ethics and integrity, but my experience did not consistently reflect those values. Favoritism also appeared to play a significant role in how employees were treated and how decisions were made. HR presents itself as a resource for employees, but concerns often end with, “It will be up to your manager.” That can be frustrating when the issue involves your manager or requires an impartial review. CoStar has developed a reputation for these issues, and from what I experienced, it wasn’t always this way. A few years ago, the company at least appeared to prioritize its employees. Today, that commitment feels diminished. The return-to-office expectations can also be unreasonable. During severe weather, employees are still expected to report to the office even when many other companies in the area allow employees to work remotely for safety. Finally, performance expectations and metrics are frequently changed, making goals increasingly difficult to achieve. Combined with inconsistent communication from leadership, it creates an environment where employees often feel unsupported and uncertain about expectations.

Cons

Good Health Benefits for families and singles Decent pay
