Pros

A lot of people I worked with were nice. Fairly close to larger shopping centers.

Cons

a) Staff are talked down to and belittled. b) Bonus are completely unachievable. (especially due to the new calling metrics and the 4 branding statements your require to regurgitate back to customers you have been working with for years - enraging with wasting their time them off with your droning & boring statements) c) I have seen untalented people and cheats get promoted because they say the 'right' things. d) Feedback is not listened to. e) The upper management resent the staff and treat the foot soldiers like scum. f) Most people are looking for a way out.

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
