Pros

The people at this company are amazing and genuinely want to put out great work for the agents. No matter how terrible or discouraging the culture got, I always knew I could go to my team and they would brighten my day. The job is also extremely easy, so while you shouldn't expect to actually grow your skills or talents during your time here, you can expect a great work/life balance.

Cons

Honestly, if I wrote this a year ago, this review would sound totally different. This used to be a great place to work, but the executive team is running Compass into the ground, and quickly. Firstly, they consider themselves a tech company (and market themselves that way) except when it comes to employee salaries and benefits. They expect top talent but pay embarrassingly low salaries and the benefits just keep getting taken away. Health, dental, and vision insurance used to be completely covered, but employees will now be charged for them. Not to mention they've also taken away several other benefits (no more education or gym stipend) making the total compensation laughable for the experience they expect. They also stopped offering raises as the company is in financial trouble, and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. Promotions? You can still get those, but as stated previously, they won't pay you more for the new title. You'd never guess any of this bein in a meeting with any of the c-suite team as they can only talk about how successful and great the company is, but if you Google the projected EOY numbers, you'll see the real story. There's a lot of companies out there that actually value their employees, and if you're thinking of joining Compass, I would really think twice before you put yourself in an extremely regrettable position.

Pros

- Amazing talent across teams - Great people - Great agents (of course some tough ones, but generally speaking some great people) - Nice office space - MacBooks for all - Lots of vacation/holiday (now unlimited PTO and every holiday under the sun)

Cons

- Demanded in office full-time even during the pandemic - Incredibly low pay despite experience - Delusional leadership and management - Constant feeling of "employees dont matter, but agents do" - ZERO upward mobility (even after promised) - Unreasonable performance benchmarking - Inaccurate portrayal of job description - Cutting corners and costs in every way possible make it more difficult for the employees - Smoke in mirrors; telling everyone how we're doing SO well, but truly, we're not.

Pros

Culture focused for internal employees and agents, great team work and very supportive management.

Cons

Recent organization re-structure and two rounds of layoffs over summer/fall have doubled employee's responsibilities with no additional compensation. Employees are getting burnt out, and company tries to place band-aids instead of motivating their employees with fair pay. A lot of smoke and mirrors within management.
