Pros

Reasonable benefits, work/life balance, snacks

Cons

Someone from CoStar's HR team will reply and say any cons are outdated and reference some growth or innovation award they've won recently as proof that things are better, but do you want to work for a company that has such a bad reputation? They're clearly trying to change the perception, but are they actually changing the environment? If I was a young person considering working for CoStar, I would steer clear. The low ratings, CEO's terrible reputation and reviews should be proof enough... Don't let CoStAr's HR branding nonsense in the responses fool you. People don't gain anything from writing these reviews, CoStar clearly has a reason to respond. The hundreds of negative reviews written over the last 2 years should give you a clear picture of this firm

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
