Pros

Decent base salary; good benefits; good tech tools to perform the job efficiently.

Cons

Sales challenges due to poor market perception of value proposition. Senior leadership hasn't taken action to provide needed marketing or sales support to address those challenges. Instead, leadership sets sales quotas at the national level, in spite of vastly different pricing and market adoption/perception across the country. The result of this dynamic has meant 100% turnover (1 sales director and 7 sales reps) in less than 2 years. The pervasive culture at CoStar is well established by the founder and CEO. That is, there is opportunity to earn well, but expect to be treated rather poorly, and pay close attention to the mechanisms in the comp plan to not get paid a commission.

Pros

Salary is quite good but…

Cons

The management is extremely controlling, monitoring and grading every single call. Everyone works like a machine, constantly under the pressure and fear of being fired at any moment. It feels like you’re just trying to survive each month to avoid getting a disciplinary notice. I used to think the Glassdoor reviews were exaggerated, but it’s even worse than I imagined—they completely drain you emotionally and mentally. The environment is toxic, exhausting, and suffocating.
