Pros

- Free health insurance - The company design is gorgeous and well thought out - The people I work with are fantastic/good people

Cons

- You are married to Compass. If you aren't 100% invested, it's looked down upon. You will be checking your email from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. Every meal is in the office (and it's designed this way to keep you there). Wake up, eat every meal at Compass, go to bed. - Managers are abysmal. Most of them do not have the experience or bandwidth to manage a team. As an employee, you go into the company directionless and they expect you to figure it out on your own. The impression people have is that if you are not succeeding, it's because of you, not the lack of supervision. It's sink or swim - but if you sink, it is your fault. - If you aren't 100% bought in or seem skeptical, people act like there is something wrong with you. People view life outside of work a weakness. Compass has created a cult-like culture where no one questions the status quo. - Little pay for a ton of hours and management likes to pretend that burn out doesn't exist

Pros

Having recently entered the real estate industry, there was some concern that I might end up at a place that does not fully care about me as a person. I have felt completely welcomed and genuinely engaged since I entered the building, and have found my colleagues to be caring and passionate.

Cons

Real estate is a commission game, so don't come into it expecting a paycheck to just be handed to you.
