Pros

Uh, well, the base salary is more than the usual $10-12/hr that most gigs like this offer.

Cons

Hmm. well to start my first contact was with the "recruiter", a clown/delusional liar named SHANE. Shane said, with a straight face that he has people making "$20K-$30K PER MONTH". Yep, $240,000-$360,000 per year. Working in a call center. Riiiiight. Needless to say the parking lot didn't exactly have any high end cars. I guess all the people making $240K/year spend their money on their Million Dollar houses in North Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Then Shane went on about how "50% of the people they bring on don't make it" Acting like this is some type of high-end "exclusive" job. I found out later that most people QUIT when they realize they've been LIED TO. And it went downhill from there.... A little backround on move/realtor .com. This company used to be public before they were bought out. Stuart Wolf, previous CEO, pled guilty to fraud, insider trading and other SEC violations and spent over 4 years in prison. While Stuart Wolf is no longer there, it's clear that his "lagcy and culture" is alive and well. Oh, and in case you readers are wonbdering, I quit within 2 weeks of realizing what a sham this place is.

Pros

Realtor.com is a leader and it was fun to be part of its professional atmosphere.

Cons

Since the NewsCorp takeover, the culture has changed dramatically. People are no longer an important part of the equation. Management motivates by fear.

Pros

At least we usually don't have to go to work on Sundays.

Cons

I have read many of the reviews for this company on this site (and others) and find that there is a tremendous amount of positive B.S. about this place (probably written by someone in HR) that paints a picture of a caring and compassionate company trying to provide opportunities for its employees. The reality of the situation is that just the opposite is true. The negative reviews on this site are spot on, however. Yes it is true that the metrics and the sales quotas are in many cases beyond absurd, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. The reviews don't do justice to the serious morale problems and management conflicts that continue to escalate unabated daily. The insane amount of people constantly being hired and subsequently fired in short order should be a clue to management that there is a problem with their hiring and training processes, and that the unfeasible expectations required of your employees, both new and established, should be reviewed to correct the problem. While you are at it, as others have mentioned, maybe threatening employees that they may be fired every day and creating an atmosphere of anxiety and fear isn't the best business model for a successful company. As a current employee with almost a year working in the Scottsdale call center, I can tell you that I have seen this place really go down the tubes since I started here. It used to be a cool place to work, but owing to some management and policy changes it has slowly morphed into the hell hole it is today. Most here wonder what new oppressive daily requirements the current regime is going to slap us with from day to day. Should you consider coming to work here? That depends...are you seriously nuts?
