Pros

Free coffee was pretty good and a nice break from my desk. The coworkers complained together and was often times cathartic.

Cons

While the aim is promising and seems extremely effective and useful on paper, the execution is ridiculous and borderline unethical. On the outside there is only one way to explain what I used to do for this company and it sounds worse and worse the more I tell people of my time at CoStar. Look at the numbers ... there is a very good reason the turnover rate is north of 50% and don’t believe the positive reviews that the company “asks” employees to leave. Those are typed out with a CoStar gun pointed to your head.

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. I respectfully disagree with your suggestion that employees are forced to give reviews. We do encourage honest feedback, but providing reviews is, and always will be, voluntary.

Pros

I worked for Homes.com - Great first job out of college to learn a lot about sales and can make good money in the first 3 months - FIND PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THIS JOB AND HAVE LEFT AND FIGURE OUT WHY CUZ THEY'LL TELL YOU

Cons

I worked for Homes.com - You're doing 3 jobs in one and the pay does not reflect that - it is churn and burn. The average tenure here is 7 months - Management doesn't know what's going on 3/4 of the time. It is all up to the CEO and he's on his private jet more than 3/4 of the time
