Pros

Awesome Job if you love mindlessly sprouting off company Propaganda(and guess what, what they tell you to say is completely different than the ones in the email you send before and after so you look like a real idiot who can't keep numbers straight) Requires very little original thought Company sues it's customers so you always have a relationship to mend. Upper management comes with massive changes spur of the moment without any examination to the actual effect they have

Cons

Upper Management doesn't actually trust managers to manage(which is fair since they don't know how to promote. About 25% of managers are absolutely horrible, 25% pretty good and 50% somewhere in the middle. Who doesn't love gambling with your livelihood and sanity. They say things constantly change. That's wrong. You will always be on the chopping block as they don't so much as try to inspire as inspire fear. Innovation is throughly quashed. You might have great ideas to improve products but unless you're the CEO, it's garbage.

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
