Pros

- The money - The young staff - Very little else

Cons

- It IS a call centre, we are targeted to make a calls for a designated time period - We are monitored with everything we do - there is 0% chance of job progression, promotion in CoStar is the SAME job with a different title. - We are asked when we join to leave positive reviews on glassdoor (unacceptable).

CoStar Group Response
6y
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review with us. As you mentioned, we're proud to offer competitive salaries to our employees. Additionally, we'd like to encourage you to take charge of your career because there is definitely room for growth at CoStar Group. Many of our researchers have been promoted within research or to other positions in the company. You should feel empowered to speak with your manager about how to evolve your role and/or about opportunities for further professional development. As for reviews, while we always encourage current and former employees to leave us feedback so we can constantly improve, we do not ask - nor will we ask - employees to leave positive reviews. We encourage you to reach out to our HR Department at HRDepartment@costar.com to discuss your role and how you can grow with the company.

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
