Pros

Great benefits, quality data that assists clients

Cons

You must brand a certain amount of times on the phone, making it very telemarket-ish. If your call does not last 90 seconds then it does not apply to your metrics and you are asked to call your client again, even if the conversation was constructive. Heavy emphasis is placed on the 90 second duration phone call. Do you want to sacrifice your rapport with a client that you are required to speak to monthly or risk being further micromanaged because you didn’t hit the company’s metrics? Lastly, management has instructed employees to give 5 star ratings on GlassDoor because their rating was low. That should tell you all you need to know about this company.

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
