Pros

Salary, being able to create your own schedule a bit, no dress code for most who don't care that much, being able to fly drones daily.

Cons

Cameras in cars and being under constant surveillance a total negative stressor! Being threatened on the job because we are being made to take pictures of people without their consent in public places and stores and restaurants. Having to shoot and drive around all over all day to only come home to have to edit all night and then upload and rinse and repeat. Cringe worthy photography at its finest hired as an architectural photographer that was the position and I don't think in the year I worked there I shot anything architectural. Instead we were forced to shoot people walking out of grocery stores and Walgreens and walk inside big box stores taking video without permission super fun! Having our images critiqued by 3 people who clearly were beyond clueless about retouching or images or photography or what makes an image look good. I studied color theory for years with the best in the world who worked for Adobe and more and get told I don't know how to adjust an image of a park? lol

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
