Pros

Great office and furniture There are hundreds of people so you make friends easily. They return for call for employment fast and you get hired right away... pretty much because they train 20+ people every 2 weeks because that is how many people quit.

Cons

Shady!!!!! The company is forcing the hiring team to go on glass door, create fake accounts and add reviews. Whenever you hear "great place to start a career", "challenging as the company is growing so fast", or "great job opportunities" this is absolutely false. There is no advancement to management and has not been for like 6 months. All of the new management positions are being sent only to the few people who are already managers to they can shuffle around. They do not give us (400+ researchers) even the opportunity to apply. The company is not growing that fast anymore, the stock is proof of that, we were above $200/share and now it's around $140/share because wallstreet believes we hit our ceiling. I personally know two people that were told that they had to create reviews so that we would not be one of the lowest rated companies on GlassDoor.

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
