Pros

-good benefits: 401k, 3 weeks standard vacation, 5 sick days (although are monitored), 3 days for wedding, etc. -solid pay

Cons

-MUST be in office. You're location is tracked to make sure you're swiping yourself into the office daily. - they try to buy moral. Giveaways for days off, cars, vacations..you're automatically entered via the tracking they do with your keycard. -No growth and unequal pay. Promotions are given by popularity. I have no idea how compensation is done. Some people who have been here for years make less than entry level new hires. - CEO has a god complex and leadership mirrors that behavior. Very greedy and stubborn bunch who has traditional values although the company preaches otherwise. It's their way or the highway. -No diversity. Look at the leadership team, all white males who all make 7 figures. No understanding or perspective of what people need to thrive in their role. - Some get special treatment. Our diversity numbers are so poor, they let the only black colleague on another team work from home to keep them--but everyone else is required to come into the office.

Pros

401k, medical benefits snacks decent base salary

Cons

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.
