Do NOT work at Costar! - Sales CoStar Group Employee Review

Dear prospective employee, Read this carefully even if you are desperate for work because you will not have time to look for another job while working at Costar. This is the worst place to work and the executive management is even worse. The rest of the management is a bunch of “yes” men and women. They will lie during the interview process and tell you that it’s an outside sales job but it’s not much more than a telemarketing job. They will lie and tell you that you’ll earn lots of commissions but you will not. They will tell you stories about cash bonuses and car giveaways then you find out that they were only company cars as they nickel-n-dime you on your business expenses. You will be just a number. You will feel like a slave. Expect to pay for parking out of your own earnings. Expect to work 60+ hours a week every week with no end in sight until you quit. Expect to be micromanaged beyond your wildest imagination. Expect to feel sick physically and mentally due to the enormous stress. Expect to waste your PTO to go to the doctor or the dentist while working long hours during your personal time at home. Expect endless changes. Expect to perform to unattainable and ridiculous metrics every week, or you will be humiliated in front of your peers. When you are in production (out of training) and receive your book of business, expect to receive many reversals (full value chargebacks) on cancelled subscriptions that you had nothing to do with, but if the customer renews, you will NOT receive credit for the entire renewal amount, you will only receive whatever net new increase you added, which will be wiped away by other chargebacks/cancellations. I could write many pages about this horrible work environment but I hope you get the picture. Run and don’t look back even if you are desperate for work. You will find a much better employer and do not believe the good reviews on Glassdoor because they are FAKE as Costar’s reputation.
