Westlake Village, Los Angeles, CA

Former Employee – worked at Move full-time for more than 3 years

ProsNice perks, accommodations and benefits. Only a handful of Account Executives make the money that Move promises. Most do not. Nice co workers!

ConsThe sales floor was threatened weekly, sometimes daily to achieve sales quota set by management. The threats were borderline harassment ranging from being fired, to not getting bonus, etc. Quotas were raised twice since the beginning of the year. Because the quotas were so high Account Executives were expected to sell to the real estate agents products that got minimal results, such as banner advertising, and encouraged to sell the agents more solutions than needed. Overtime all the time.

Advice to Senior ManagementStart caring about your clients, the Real Estate agents.

Former Employee – worked at Move full-time for more than 3 years

ProsCasual dress. Fairly flexible with scheduling and getting time off. Decent pay compared to other similar jobs.

ConsIt was a decent company when I started in 2007 but went downhill fast. They became more concerned with making more sales than actually providing decent customer service and supporting the products that they offer. Sales reps are encouraged to lie and misrepresent products to get sales. Company isn't keeping up with technology and results of competitors resulting in unsatisfied clients. Be prepared to be treated terribly by management as well unless you are one of the lucky ones that becomes friends with them. The "quality assurance" is a joke, if you don't upsell you fail, even if your customer service was perfect.

Advice to Senior ManagementTeach your managers how to treat their employees. Customer service department should be focused on CUSTOMER SERVICE not on SALES.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Move full-time for more than 7 years

ProsNone I can think of for my division. My advice: Stay away.

ConsThe company follows trends and new technology, doesn't come out with any new ideas and hasn't since the late 90's. Very old technology and systems. The division I work in gets no resources or money to stay relevant. Takes money from customers and doesn't use it to stay relevant or even try to give them a return on their investment. Very shady about where the division is heading. Many people leaving and none of the positions being re-filled. Most of us who are left think they are going to pull the plug on our division any day now, but not before they bleed us for everything we can possibly get from our customers.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe honest with your employees as well as your customers. Have some integrity. Don't just continue to take your customers money without re-investing it in the company and in turn results for the customer.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Scottsdale, AZ

Former Employee – worked at Move full-time for more than a year

ProsGreat Company Culture. I enjoyed working at Move.com. It was a job that I would have kept forever. Outstanding salary and benefits. Realtor.com connection. Senior Housing Net. Salesforce. Travel and expenses while tedious were paid promptly. Monthly bonus checks were outstanding if you exceeded your number.

ConsUnfortunately with large tech firms in late 2008, cutbacks occurred and I lost my job. Top level management shake ups were too frequent. Adjustment to pay scale, while always working to your advantage, were unsettling and stressful.

ProsGood benefit structure and knowing that you worked for the company that once sat on top of the online real estate marketing portal.

ConsOnce ruled online real estate, now relegated to footnote status. Trulia (competitor) went public last week and closed at 40% above opening bell on Wall Street. Zillow (another competitor) closed at a company record high last week. Move, Inc's price was down all week priced at a 5 month low. People are getting ready to jump like rats on the Titanic.

Current Employee – been working at Move

ProsI have been with the Company for 6 years and have made over $180K every year. This company has rewarded me in many ways. I have positive role models to work with and enjoy coming to work everyday. We have great benifits, including 401K. I have great work hours and have been finacially rewarded from my performance. Very enjoyable and great paying company.

ConsOne Con is it is a hyper competive enviroment, which means you have to be extremly self motivated in order to succeed.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to be patient and help new employees get to the top.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
