Pros
I can’t think of any positives from this company. The only “pro” that comes to mind is I now know what kind of company to avoid in the future.
Cons
The brokerage robs their agents. They have obscene annual charges which includes paying for office snacks, I’m not joking. They also ever-so-casually increased their commission split due to them failing financially on a colossal scale from making the company public and the Compass stock being worth nothing. They preach about being catered to the agents, diversity, and having advanced technology. For technology: the amount of times their website has been down is endless, their search engine is not user friendly, and they charge a pretty penny for marketing materials which they make seem like it’s for your benefit when it’s really to market themselves more than anything. Diversity you say? Prepared to be ostracized if you don’t jump on the bandwagon with every “philanthropic” cause they peddle push. The definition of diversity at Compass means as long as you support the same issues as them, you’re diverse. It’s also not a great look when a leading agent in the company sends out an email to all agents regarding how society needs to stop complaining about losing freedoms and that we shouldn’t get freedom if it means others will benefit. This is 150% accurate and I have the receipts to prove it.
