Pros

Nothing! I should have taken the reviews here under consideration but though people were exaggerating.

Cons

The atmosphere in the office was extremely toxic, a relentless culture of fear casting a shadow over every aspect of work life. Metrics became more than just tools for evaluation; they morphed into instruments of intimidation, a constant reminder of looming judgment. Bullying is a part of daily interactions, created an environment rife with tension and despair. Achieving good mental health, personal development, and experiencing happiness going to work become unattainable in such an environment characterized by harshness, toxicity, and an excessive focus on monthly numerical metrics. Managers have absolutely no idea how to handle people; their main job is checking your work with unrealistic monthly audits. This has as a result that a lot of people are gaming the systems, leading to inaccurate data. Instead of being productive and do your job, you will get in a survival mode how to have good numbers so you don't get fired. The company (instead of changing their culture of fear) they increased salaries because a lot of people were leaving. Don't fall into their trap!! Working there means enduring mental torture and daily fear, and it's seriously unhealthy.

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
