Pros

Great benefits, cell phone andd ipad provided

Cons

- Sales compensation is mainly based off of Net New Sales. Penetrated and small markets have impossible numbers to hit since comp plans roll out nationally. - If the current comp plan pays out to much, Management will change the plan as often as needed. You never seem to get paid correctly, most people give up trying after months of fighting. - It's all about numbers and quarterly earnings, not about people that work there. Your work-life balance will be horrible. - It is common for whole teams to leave within short periods of time.

Pros

I worked for Homes.com - Great first job out of college to learn a lot about sales and can make good money in the first 3 months - FIND PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THIS JOB AND HAVE LEFT AND FIGURE OUT WHY CUZ THEY'LL TELL YOU

Cons

I worked for Homes.com - You're doing 3 jobs in one and the pay does not reflect that - it is churn and burn. The average tenure here is 7 months - Management doesn't know what's going on 3/4 of the time. It is all up to the CEO and he's on his private jet more than 3/4 of the time
