Pros

No pros at all unless you count the people you meet.

Cons

Where to start... They say you don’t take this job home with you but all the work they make you do is always in your head. For all the work we do they don’t pay us enough. Toxic work environment, you have toxic mangers cursing left and right telling you that you will lose your job every other day or that if you don’t like it you should leave. Adding more and more work everyday and telling you your main metrics won’t get affected but later having a talk with you because you didn’t meet expectations. For me they didn’t even do a mid year review. Any training or any quick review of your work with a “needs more work”. Then you look at other people’s work in your teams and they did half the work you did and they don’t get In trouble. To me it sounds like they play to much favorites. Looking at people that meet their requirements move up without trying because of certain traits that they want. So much more to say but hopefully this helps give you a quick picture.

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
