If you have other options, do not do it. The Comcast of CRE information - Recensione dipendente - Research Associate presso CoStar Group

LIsten to the other reviews on Glassdoor. They speak the truth. Upper management doesn't care about your morale nor do they care about your career progression. As soon as a research begins their job and they realize what menial work they will be doing, they start searching for another job. This is a call center. You will do nothing but call. No critical thinking involved. No real ownership of project. No real discernible skills to brag about, honestly anyways, on your resume. This job is a huge waste of time if you can get another job in CRE and want to stay in CRE. We make clients consistently upset with needless and incessant branding and calling. Upper mgmt grades us based off metrics that are draconian at best and that have no real footing in reality. They treat researchers in the different departments Tenant, Portfolio, and Multi-family quite differently. Tenant gets paid more even though they do the same essential calling tasks. IT is a new department but they didn't do that for the multi-family department. Atlanta doesn't even get monetary incentives and hardly has any morale boosting events. It is almost like they have been relatively forgotten. Management is terrible and untrustworthy, probably because they are feeling the same pain as researchers are. Upper mgmt of research falls in line behind whatever Andy says - even if it doesn't make any sense on the ground (branding and such), It is a terrible, terrible job. If you graduated college, you deserve better than a menial call-center job where your worth is based off dumb metrics. You might get promoted three times, but you will still be calling, calling, calling. IF you want to wake up depressed and regretting a career decision, then choose CoStar Group. But honestly, please don't. DOn't make the same mistake.
