Pros

If you really really really need the money work there. If not, run! The work cease to be challenging about your 3rd day, when you realize that numbers are the only thing that matters to the people upstairs. They don't care about you. your family or the customers. They only want those numbers to stay high. Very little thought is given to how projects are planned, if they are planned at all. Too little attention is paid to things that could be avoided if the people who actually DO the work were consulted about them before they are implemented. If the Board and the stockhoders knew how much money is wasted with these seat of the pants ideas, Andy'd be gone so fast the roof would be sucked right off the building.

Cons

No balance in your life. Porr to pitiful senior management. No vision for a future. It COULD be a great place to work if they'd get rid of Andy and his droids. Constant pressure, changes in matrixes, goals, pay scales. Monkeying with pay rates, ratios, competitions, etc. The employees do not trust the decision-makers. They see them make decisions to benefit themselves, then wonder why they are the target of such derision among the staff. Trust is non-existent. We are treated as if we can't think or way to the bathroom, monitored constantly and it apparently amazes these people that most us are actually able to get to work every day.

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
