Pros

Free breakfast, decent salary, regular hours.

Cons

Research, and probably all other departments, are constantly in crisis mode. Upper management turns every directive into an emergency. I’m sorry, but changing four elevators to three is not a life or death situation. Andy is successful but so full of himself. His lack of personalization is appalling. He doesn’t care to get to know his employees.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, both positive and negative. We are proud that you have been with CoStar for 8+ years and hope that you are with us for many years to come. We would like to better understand your perspective that research is constantly in 'crisis mode'. Research is a critical function at CoStar and our metrics are carefully calibrated to help researchers excel, and drive value for our clients. We encourage you to expand upon your concerns, so that we can better understand them and be able to take action. With regard to your comments about our CEO, Andy Florance, please know that he values every one of our employees. His success is a result of many factors, including the contributions made from each CoStar team member. While he would like to get to know each and every employee, given that we have thousands of employees throughout the United States, Canada and Europe, it is impossible to do so. With that noted, we have a very talented management team at all levels who share Andy's vision and passion. They are empowered and dedicated to making CoStar a rewarding environment at all levels for each employee. Please feel free to reach out to any member of our management team to continue the conversation. Thank you again for your 8+ years of service; we look forward to working with you for many more years.

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
