Pros

Exceptionalism: From start to present - After two months of working with Compass, I've never seen a company so hands on who takes the time to get to know you and see if it's a good fit for both parties (Welcome to the Cool Kids Club). They listened and turned over every rock possible and looked for reasons why something was possible vs why it's not possible. From my first conversation everyone was open minded to working with a niche company that was outside their normal scope of business. They laid out a clear path to help catapult our business and personal brand to the next level. After a good month of going back and forth. They learned how my business operates and showed me the areas my business can be more efficient. They welcomed me aboard and it felt like home. I even got a call from the CEO Robert Reffkin amongst a handful of other leaders. They listen. With everyone and their dog trying to get their real estate license and changes in technology I wanted to partner with a company that was forward thinking who wasn't like the rest. You know... bring on a million agents, throw them against the wall and see who sticks. To me, that's NOT the formula to sustained success. I wanted to be around people who took their life and business as serious as I did who also wasn't afraid to hit up happy hour and throw down a few cold ones lol Full time agents who are professional and passionate about the client experience and holding themselves to the highest standard. THAT'S the type of people I want to be around!! Thats what I found here amongst a WHOOOOOLE staff who works for me. As a business owner I found myself working FOR my business vs my business working for me. They gave me the tools and resources to accelerate our growth, and I'm looking forward to having the greatest year out of the 7 years of being an Agent. Thank you Compass!!

Pros

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Cons

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
