Pros

Market leader. Great people. Free snacks and salads.

Cons

This is the most toxic place in DC which is an achievement these days! The CEO is narcissistic who loves to throw out personal insults to his staff at every opportunity. Management are beaten down drones who take the beat downs and obey every irrational order but make fun of him behind his back. Culture of fear is enforced by mindless followers who live only to please the CEO.

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
