Pros

It's just a job that pays you, not so well just normal. They are in downtown Chicago.

Cons

Stay away from this egotistic company. Since CoStar acquired Apartments in April 2014, the company has become a sinking ship. It's really terrible to work there because the CEO is very controlling and doesn't trust anyone. This company is very old school and the only way they think they can grow is to keep purchasing companies and spend huge money on advertising. CoStar has completely destroyed everything we worked so hard to create there. I've seen coworkers get belittle and get laid off. Most talented people also have quit. They are still a commercial real estate company. Don't know how to do consumer marketing.

Pros

Strong brand recognition, supportive coworkers, and excellent opportunities to develop new skills. The fast-paced environment provides exposure to a diverse client base and a variety of business challenges, creating valuable professional growth and learning opportunities.

Cons

Priorities can shift quickly, creating a more reactive work environment that may not be the right fit for everyone. Success requires a high degree of adaptability, self-motivation, and comfort with change. Performance expectations are generally standardized across markets, which can make it challenging to account for differences in local market conditions and opportunities. Additionally, administrative requirements and performance metrics can be time-intensive and may reduce the amount of time available for direct client engagement and revenue-generating activities.
