Unrealistic expectations, Unhealthy in the long run - Community Researcher CoStar Group Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your experience working at CoStar Group. We'd like to share the business decisions behind some of the recent organizational shifts in the research department. With the success of our Apartments.com business, our methods for capturing data in the multifamily space – whether through electronic feeds, direct user entry, or other methods – have simply evolved. As a result, we conducted an organizational realignment to ensure job functions match with our methods for collecting information and are more in-line with the future direction of the business. As the leader in the multifamily space, Apartments.com continues to extend our footprint and will expand our focus by increasing the sales force. We have hired 100 new outbound multifamily sales consultants based in Richmond. Unfortunately, because of this shift of focus, the Community Research role based in Atlanta, GA was eliminated. This decision was purely business-related in an effort to align our research and sales resources to current data collection methods. It was not at all related to employee or company financial performance. Decisions like these that affect the daily lives of our employees are nevre made lightly. We value our employees and the work they do in making CoStar Group the leading provider of commercial real estate information, analytics, and online marketplaces. Impacted employees were offered the appropriate resources to help them through this transition. These employees also have the opportunity to apply for one of the new outbound multifamily sales positions, or any other open position within the company where their skills align to the job requirements. If you have questions about what resources may be available to you, please reach out to HRDepartment@CoStar.com.
