Pros

The people. I made many wonderful friends when I worked there. While I did not like the company, the people made me happy to go to work.

Cons

I worked in the technology side of homes.com in Norfolk. I left the company this year along with most of the people I worked with. The business doesn't communicate with the technology teams, this puts on in a bad spot and we are always playing catch up. Homes was a nightmare, we were forced to work weekends with no extra pay because the business over promised and continued to add scope to the projects. I was forced to go above and beyond my job every day and while I received a lot of verbal praise I never received any monetary increase. The pay is much lower here then anywhere else (at least for technology). I left the company because I truly believe thAt it's a sinking ship. If you currently work there, get out. If you have been hired for a technology job (espically in Norfolk) really think about it.

Pros

Able to work from home with little supervisory support. Lots of good friendly people.

Cons

Told there was a base of business to manage which ended up to be less than true. The territory was so large that it made it nearly impossible to be an outside sales person which was the advertised position. The monthly quotas were near impossible unless you were one of the "chosen" few that were going to Trade shows on a regular basis. Only a small percentage succeed, most leave or are let go within the first 6-12 months.

Pros

Compensation is really compelling, provided you’re lucky enough to be assigned a good territory. Even then, maintaining high compensation is nigh on impossible. Recent changes may improve things somewhat. Workforce is really diverse, and there are a ton of great people working there.

Cons

Work/life balance is poor, particularly if you want to excel. Sweeping, nonsensical unilateral changes are made with no advance notice. Nobody really knows what they’re doing, particularly in leadership. It’s not at all uncommon to go months without getting any commission, and people have worked there for months and have never earned commission. They’ve created an environment where lying and cheating coworkers is not only a norm, but necessary for survival. You’ll be tasked with selling product most people don’t want, and those that do quickly find out it does not perform as expected post-sale leading to cancellations.
