Pros

Do I really have to think of 20 words of praise? That is tough. Benefits are decent, you start of with a reasonable amount of vacation. You get maternity leave from day 1 so if you are pregnant, take the job, use your 2 weeks paid leave and then quit.

Cons

No one is respected. Your boss is there to catch you doing something wrong. This is to hurt your bonus eligibilty. Nothing is consistent. Today's standards and rules will be different tomorrow. Your work will be judged by the standards on the day it is judged, not the standards that were in place a month or two before when you actually did the work. It is our job to verify and update information about our properties. But if you make a major correction your boss will assume it is wrong and your bonus suffers. We are rewarded for doing something wrong and punished for doing it right. Costar would rather be cheap with pay and bonuses, and treat people poorly and have them quit. Instead of cultivating an employee. They don't seem to realize that a constant stream of trainees produces poor quality work and costs more money because they are always training new people.

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
