Pros

Have to write something so, they had snacks and the location downtown was nice and benefits were comparable to what we had at Classified Ventures.

Cons

Since CoStar bought the company it has been down hill. They took what was once a great place to work where people cared about our product, customers and employees to an atmosphere of who cares...I'm only here for a paycheck. They continue to lay off all the original apartments.com staff so nobody will be left that remember how great we were. The CEO is an egotistical little man that we nicknamed "Napoleon". Its his way or the highway who has surrounded himself with "yes" men/women. So Mr. Napoleon spend 100 million dollars on advertising but your still just a little man with deep pockets.

Pros

Great training. Many resources available. Sales system for pipeline, communications, etc works well. Flexible schedule. Decent commission structure provides a higher OTE for region.

Cons

Constant change in commission structures. Specific number of clients & prospects to visit/day. Micromanage with follow up calls for questions that may not relate to your performance. Take cancels and have to outsell, although customer fulfills contracts. No bonus on renewals. Poor base pay for sales.
