Compass reviews

-Terrible work life balance due to long hours (note, this is just for the marketing+design department, most other positions were still able to leave at a normal hour) -No local leadership in their "expansion markets" (newly launched offices outside of NYC, CA, and DC) -No room for growth (due to no leadership, and unclear career mapping outside of HQ) -Big promises made during the recruitment phase that aren't delivered on. Negotiate the highest starting salary you can, because once there, getting a raise or promotion is harder than it should be. -Unclear leadership structure outside of HQ -Unrealistic ratios for staff to client support. As they bring on more real estate agents, they don't scale their internal staff comparably. -If you were previously at an agency, and excited to go in house for better workload, this is not the job for you. You support 50-100 different real estate agents, all with different personal branding and goals, so its far worse than the 10 clients you had at the agency. -For a company that touts diversity and inclusion at HQ, this is not exhibited at our office.

-Constant shifts in focus and direction with little to no communication to the "boots on the ground" employees (agent operations) -Using a company "entrepreneurship principle" of "Move Fast" to cover up inept decisions from executives. Often you would here promises from CEO/COO to "fix" something within 24 hours with no input or discussion from the rest of the teams. -Promising agents complete vaporware software when they join, only to leave the agent success/agent operations teams to deliver the bad news down the line. -Selling the "in house" support, and slowly eroding them down to nothing. There are agent support staff with literally hundreds of agents assigned to them.
