Pros

Compass treats agents like they are their #1 client. It seems so simple, yet I had to wonder why other firms just don't get it. Management is constantly asking what tools, technology, programs and offerings would make our job (even our lives) smarter, better and more successful. The culture is unlike anything I've ever experienced. They strive to elevate the role of real estate agent to a higher ethical standard. I came to Compass almost 4 years ago when I watched many top agents in the industry make the move. I wanted to be at the same firm as the agents I most respected. It was the best move I ever made. I've watched many agents come over to Compass and get reinvigorated. Change can be a little scary, but real growth happens when you push yourself.

Cons

I don't know if it's a con, necessarily, but Compass has the best and brightest tech & product people out there. They move FAST. The amount of amazing tools that constantly get rolled out is sometimes hard to keep up with. But I'd certainly rather have more tools than less.

Pros

The benefits are incredible and best I've ever been offered. 100% paid for health insurance, even for a family.

Cons

Compass laid off over half of the IT Department in "restructuring". This IT department was hands down the best I have ever worked for in my career. Compass continued to exhibit a pattern of treating their employees like second class citizens throughout 2020. People chosen to remain in IT was completely random or chosen by favoritism, either way not a good way to choose. The rest were moved to a new role called Agent Experience Manager or laid off. The Agent Experience Manager position was a combination of 3 different positions that the company had previously. They went from specialization expertise to the Swiss army knife approach. The company cut 15-20% of the workforce due to Covid-19, then cut the remaining employees salaries by 20%, unless you happen to be lucky and be an engineer. The CEO can be seen on the news saying that business is back to pre Covid-19 levels, yet the pay cuts remain in effect. 12 months ago I would have told you that Compass was the best place I've ever worked, but the cuts, management changes, company restructuring and Covid-19 implications have all changed the business tremendously.
