Pros

Establishing friendships with the other people in the building who made the same mistake as you....taking the job there.

Cons

Right out of training, you 'll get on a team and your ready to start working. From the moment you make eye contact with your teammates, you realize that they are extremely unhappy. Do you remember in Pinnochio where he thinks he's going to Pleasure Island but then realizes it's a trap and everyone's being turned into donkeys? You'll feel the EXACT same way after a week of being on the floor. You are only one thing to the owner and senior management: A warm body. I'm pretty sure they'd hire zombies to do the job if they actually existed. Unfortunately, you're worthless to them. I used to think I had a career there. I really did. I was wrong. When it comes to CoStar, the grass is greener on the other side.

Pros

Office based in central London. Easily accessible to shops and bars.

Cons

Rude and arrogant sales team where everyone is bickering and bad mouthing each other. Unhealthy aggressive environment. Bad commission plans. No recognition for the people who put their heads down and do a good job. Seems like the loud empty vessels get all the praise. Management can not be trusted.

Pros

Gets you in the door of the commercial real estate industry. On site management is great and treats you like a person.

Cons

Upper management at corporate hates you. Auditors will scream at your clients and make your life harder. The pay is not what is advertised on their website. You will be lowballed. Training will be your worst experience in your professional career. Its a mess. 3 weeks of inefficiency in a unventilated room with no windows wasting several hours a day away from your family. Managers from corporate will come into town and pitch fits cursing and yelling. Network infrastructure is weak. For a "technology" company, the technology is very poor and inconsistent.
