Pros
You get to go home once in a while
Cons
Everyone in the middle and top management levels treat you like trash. The department execs will swear and threaten to fire you if you don’t do something right that very second. Grease fires are more organized than the research department here. HR operates on the whim of the CEO. The CoStar product is actually good and useful, it’s just too bad that our clients hate us because they are flooded with calls from us. Monthly employee awards and recognitions for different departments were watered down to just one “Researcher of the Month” and “Market of the Month” award and took away the cash prizes and having the company car for the month. It’s not even an award really, it’s just an email shoutout now. Experienced and top performers are either leaving or want to leave because there isn’t any incentive to go above and beyond. Employees get berated and scolded on quarterly calls.
