Pros

The pay and benefits were decent - and most of the people are great. Plus the job turns everyone into an alcoholic so I now have many great drinking and bar buddies. The location was great for me and I even liked my managers at White Marsh. While people quitting all the time and the firings are scary, the "CoStar Drama" is top notch. Who doesn't like a little bit of work gossip?

Cons

Company Moral. Job Security. People being fired seemingly with no reason. The metrics! 40 phone calls a day to people who do NOT want to talk to us... no thanks.

Pros

Pay is fair, location was good. However my advise to you is RUN as fast as you can. You will find that the minute you walk in the door there is no such thing as job security or even job discription. No matter how bad you need a job right now, you are better off working at McDonalds fipping burgers. Trust me!!!!

Cons

Change, change and oh did I say change. They change their minds, rules and metrics faster and more often than I change my underware. Be prepared to get dizzy and never measure up. BTW dont bring anything personal from home to put on your desk, most people get discharged without warning and your stuff gets left on your desk. Management will tell you that your friends got fired for performance, but you can see the public metrics for yourself, and your friend was doing better than center standards. No rhyme or reason for the disposable empolyee mentality. STRESS STRESS and more STRESS to meet goals and oh btw, even if you are doing better than your manager asked you to, if someone else does better than you, you end up on the bottom of the metrics and therefore you dont get a bonus and can get fired. Where else can you meet and even exceed the company goals and still get fired because others did better?

Pros

The only reason to work here is if you are totally desperate and no one else will hire you. Then you will have to start looking for another job as soon as they hire you, because you are not going to like it. It only takes about a week to realize the moral is horrible.

Cons

You will be micro-managed, given no respect, and given no opportunities for growth. This is a Telemarketing environment. Little or no real estate knowledge will be obtained at this company. Working here is a waste of your time and energy. This company just sucks the life out of people.
