Vantaggi

The CEO is hands-on with researching, conceptualizing and marketing the product we sell, and seems to be genuinely interested in feedback to improve. He is not "corporate". Customer-facing events and campaigns are top-notch and over-the-top, which draws attention to the product, giving sales an edge in connecting with prospects. Great benefits in regards to wellness program, stock purchase, health insurance, vacation accrual.

Svantaggi

Compensation. The commission structure is the only con, and it truly belongs in the con category, as I feel conned by it every month. The company runs off a spreadsheet. Enough said... But I'll elaborate. Each month the sales are put on a shared spreadsheet, and managers decide who gets credit for what. Since the managers pay is affected by pay-outs, you essentially have the fox in charge of the hen house. Some reviewers have gushed about the compensation, while others bash it. You may think that distinguishes the slackers from the workers, which is not accurate. There are top earners making very low commissions. It is the Wild West of pay structures, as guidelines are followed here and there, but not always and not with everyone. You will also definitely get a commission statement with loads of mistakes, and then you submit corrections, and then your "final" statement will have loads of brand new mistakes. Keep very good records of everything you sell. And get everything in writing in regards to compensation. It is a depressing, soul-sucking missive that, even with new changes, will continue to be a nightmare if not addressed.

We appreciate the feedback – we love hearing you enjoyed taking advantage of some of our benefits, and we are proud to have a vested interest in putting all we can into events that lead to more deal for our sales force. Sales deals are currently tracked in a spreadsheet, but commission splits are determined through a combination of a formula and manager weigh-in to include any special situations involving the deal. Any representatives who participate in the selling activity that leads to a deal closing will share in the credit/commission associated with a deal, and any out-of-market deal assignments are dictated by the representative who has the assigned territory. We always insist our salespeople keep good records of everything they sell, because input errors are often what lead to problems later on. We will always pay our employees what they deserve, and are always working to make the process easier for everyone involved.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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
