Pros

Flexible working arrangement, excellent benefits.

Cons

Culture is changing from when I started. Financially I lost trust in the business. They are burning cash to keep agents. Agents are treated like kings while employees end up being cost savings levers. They are beginning outsourcing and offshoring across almost every internal team. Managers unfortunately look out for themselves when times get hard and there is heavy favoritism across the business. Agent recruiting strategy is shifting to lower dollar agents because they are cheaper to pay and retain plus Compass keeps more of their split. Luxury agents already dislike this and over time they will need to spin off a non-luxury brand or retention will get worse (already in trouble). Will they make it? Probably. Will it be pleasant to get there? Not likely for anyone.

Pros

Compass hires really talented people so all your coworkers are great. Great healthcare plans

Cons

Burn out culture, high turnover and low pay. Recently they cut all the extra benefits like education reimbursements and fitness reimbursements. Little to no respect for the regional staff who actually work with the agents everyday. Agents have absolutely no boundaries with staff and leadership never gives agents any pushback. Compass continuously wins "top place to work" because they have agents, who are actually the client, vote on those surveys because they are 1099 contractors. Those surveys do not represent the views and opinions of the actual employees at Compass. Leadership is extremely cliquey.
