Pros

Good experience to add to your resume right out of college, free food, free activities, and good people.

Cons

It's a glorified call center. Your hard work goes unnoticed. It's one of those "born, raised and never leaving rva" kind of places. Everyone knows everyone. They stress you out over cold calling strangers. Essentially, you feel worthless, annoying to clients, and are a number to management. You are nothing, but a number in a game of getting better statistics than the person next to you. If that's you're thing and you need a job that pays good money, go for it. If you want a job with meaning, I'd look elsewhere. You leave work at work, which is nice, but the stress you take home with you takes a mental toll, thus barely a work life balance.

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
