Pros

Great product in Tier 1 Markets however it still needs major improvement in less developed markets. The growth at the company is exciting and there is always a changing company culture.

Cons

Really low base salary considering the amount of responsibility and new business representatives should not be punished with withheld commission due to lack of full usage each month despite CoStar still collecting revenue from the client. I feel that full commissions should be paid out on sales not a fraction of your commission based on the usage.

CoStar Group Response

Thank you for your feedback. You’re right that there is room for improvement in some of the smaller markets, but as we focus first on meeting the needs of the more concentrated areas of the country, the improvements work their way out beyond major cities and into areas that still hold a lot of potential for CoStar Group. Upper management regularly looks at feedback regarding compensation, and on a yearly basis makes changes to better incentivize the Sales department and show greater results for all those involved. Since your review, management has announced a new compensation plan for 2015, based on both the information we have received over the past year as well as the needs of a much larger Sales force than there was at the start of 2014. Best of luck to you this year, and we hope you’re able to excel throughout 2015 with the new sales opportunities!

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
