Vantaggi

Excellent benefits and facilities. I loved the avocados!

Svantaggi

Cons outweigh any benefits by far. Research Associate position is just monkey phone dialing. They just hire kids with no experience because they cannot compare whit any other job. They are easier to make them believe they will develop a career there. They hire anyone who applies. If you are a mid-career pro like me, once you get the job and the first day of work you notice that you were hire along with 24 more people at the same time, in this job market environment, that they are all kids right out of college with no experience, no even a real estate related degree is needed, you will feel really depressed. If you are real estate pro, soon you will notice that your couches don't know anything about real estate. They only know a few basic concepts and terminology and they think the know it all. (that's sad). Leadership, charisma and intelligence are not needed for the job. That would only put you on the spot light (not in the positive way). Don't call people's attention. As someone said before, keep your head down. Try to be unnoticed and don't over think what you have to do. Don't try to do it well because it doesn't matter. If they don't fire you today, they will do it tomorrow. Just make your 40 phone calls per day and you will be safe but if they don't like you, they will find the minimum mistake to fire you. It is to sad the job market is so bad that i ended up here. They really made me believe that could be a good job and the end of a long time looking for one. First mistake, don't get enchanted by their facilities the day off the interview, that means nothing. I was there just for 5 weeks. I didn't get to experience all the terrible things people here is commenting but believe me, it was headed that way. Again, that is not a commercial real estate job. That is a data gathering, entry and telemarketing position. If you are a kid out of college, don't even dare con complain about the job, because it is the right job you for you! for your first job you are suppose to suffer like hell and this is perfect for that. You are fresh, young and you don't know anything better.

Svantaggi

Working at CoStar Group was one of the most emotionally exhausting sales environments I’ve experienced. The culture on my team was extremely male-dominated, hyper-competitive, and very much “sink or swim.” Collaboration was talked about constantly by management, but in reality the environment rewarded internal competition, territorial behavior, favoritism, and politics over actual teamwork. As one of the few women on the sales team, I often felt isolated and unsupported. Instead of mentorship or coaching, the expectation was basically: “figure it out yourself.” New hires were thrown into difficult situations with inconsistent training and unrealistic expectations, while certain reps appeared to receive stronger books of business, better territories, or more support than others. It created resentment and a toxic atmosphere where coworkers often felt more like competitors waiting for you to fail than teammates. The turnover was incredibly high, which should have been a red flag. Management pushed aggressive quotas and nonstop pressure while failing to address morale, burnout, or fairness concerns. There was also an unhealthy obsession with leaderboard culture and internal politics that made the workplace feel stressful every single day. What disappointed me most was that I genuinely believed in the product and enjoyed helping clients. Many customers loved working with me, and I built strong relationships. But internally, the environment became mentally draining. The constant competitiveness, lack of support, and toxic culture eventually outweighed the positives of the role.
