Pros

The earning potential is high relative to the industry, you just have to be smart and put in the work. It's technically an hourly position so you clock in and out but you're never expected to work off the clock. Pretty decent company culture. Happy hours, outings, etc. The people are great, the product is unique and the philosophy is amazing.

Cons

Complex compensation plan and the expectations for performance are high. To a degree, customer satisfaction determines compensation and at times, it's out of the SA's control. The Homes.com product/service for sale is only about 14 months old so there are growing pains as to be expected. Cold calling 70+ dials a day plus account management can feel a bit overwhelming but worth it for the money.

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
