Pros

-CoStar provides all training needed to succeed within the various roles -The company cares about its employees and tries to keep the morale high by doing monthly bonus review parties. Bonuses for top performers can range from $500 to $2000 a month -Other perks provided are snacks in the break areas, monthly stipend for lunch, gym membership, decent healthcare, tuition reimbursement for college students (part time $2,500 full time $5,000)

Cons

-The tenant surveyor and research roles can become a bit repetitive -All the research roles require nonstop calling to tenants it fries the brain and by lunch time every day you just want the day to be over -It is a good company to start out with but if you want to make a career in the company switch to a different department besides research unless you love cold calling -The performance metrics are often times based on superficial details and do not always represent actual performance accurately. However, people who try can meet the metrics. -The company very much has a college frat bro culture that is just childish -Shifts can range from 8am-8pm Monday to Friday and you may be switched over to a shift schedule that you do not want

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
