Pros

Flexible schedule and work from home, good benefits, direct manager is great, tremendous company growth

Cons

You have no life. You will work a full week just to meet the metrics required to get pay on your book of business that has been cut down to less than 20% of what it was 18 months ago. After the demanding days of running around to meet a goal that is unattainable in some territories, you will have to work all night and weekend to follow up/send proposals/plan your week because you spend the entire week chasing enough face to face visits per day. They constantly remind you that they pay better than anyone, then cut the plans but keep the same goals. Recently cut territories down by half to add new staff and kept same goals. It used to be worth the pay to work so much and have no life but that is no longer true either.

Pros

This company makes a strong first impression during the interview and training process. Unfortunately, my experience after onboarding was very different. Decision-making is highly centralized, leaving employees with very little autonomy. The company emphasizes ethics and integrity, but my experience did not consistently reflect those values. Favoritism also appeared to play a significant role in how employees were treated and how decisions were made. HR presents itself as a resource for employees, but concerns often end with, “It will be up to your manager.” That can be frustrating when the issue involves your manager or requires an impartial review. CoStar has developed a reputation for these issues, and from what I experienced, it wasn’t always this way. A few years ago, the company at least appeared to prioritize its employees. Today, that commitment feels diminished. The return-to-office expectations can also be unreasonable. During severe weather, employees are still expected to report to the office even when many other companies in the area allow employees to work remotely for safety. Finally, performance expectations and metrics are frequently changed, making goals increasingly difficult to achieve. Combined with inconsistent communication from leadership, it creates an environment where employees often feel unsupported and uncertain about expectations.

Cons

Good Health Benefits for families and singles Decent pay
