A Chance to Rise to Your Own Potential

Pros

The executives don't just say things to look good, you can tell they genuinely believe in their efforts, and hoping to transform an industry. They care. I can say that from the top to the bottom of employees, this company has a culture of caring. If you like to work, and find enjoyment in being more than just a cog in a machine, Compass would fit you. You definitely have to strive for excellence, because they don't accept anything less. When this company sees a flaw in how they're doing things, they laser focus their efforts to fix it. Compass is extremely nimble, and always craving feedback to improve itself. The company's values are the values that every person should strive to achieve, in all aspects of life.

Cons

There can be a few egos. But maybe that's what you get when you only hire excellence. Also, as everyone else has said, be prepared to move fast and work hard.

Community is key

Pros

Compass is building the operating system for real estate through technology, marketing, and community, and as an employee, you have the rare opportunity to experience that focus every day. Community is key here - for agents and employees - so that's a major focus during the interview process. Leadership views candidates as people being welcomed into a family, so fit is incredibly important. The leadership team is impressive, collaborative, and transparent - you don't feel left in the dark here. The CEO is passionate and inspiring. He continues to call new agents and new hires to personally welcome them to the team even as the business continues to grow. He's focused on building an incredible community that feels close and personal no matter how big it gets. He's also just a great human being.

Cons

The company is still young so some of the administrative systems need tweaking. If you don't like moving fast and wondering where the weeks have gone, you might not enjoy "the Compass way" as the fast-paced environment is affectionately called.
