Pros

At first, things were good. Then our company got bought by CoStar and I didn't realize how things were changing until it was quite toxic. The benefits are pretty good (hard to find comparable benefits, but the salary difference more than made up for it). My coworkers were great.

Cons

I didn't realize how underpaid I was until I got an external job offer. I was already frustrated by a lack of a promotion or a raise. When the mass exodus started I kept asking myself, "What am I missing?" Even in a good office, everyone was afraid of the larger company and CEO.

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
