Pros

Nice office space, agents are friendly for the most part, good healthcare, fitness reimbursement

Cons

Employees at Compass are promoted and given opportunities based solely on their relationships with their managers. Whether or not you are doing your job is not the point. There are NO checks and balances to make sure that this BLATANT favoritism does not happen. Someone who is actually doing their work but does not get along with their manager is expendable. I would not wish the toxic work environment at Compass on my worst enemy.

Typical Tech Start-Up Vibe, Terrible Work-Life Balance

Executive assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

Free catered lunch every day, free access to breakfast foods, healthy snacks and beverages, each employee given a Macbook Air and dual monitors to use while employed, can order dinner from corporate Seamless acct if you work past 8pm, company reimburses taxi ride home if you work past 10pm, gym reimbursement program, nice open office space with lots of windows and natural light

Cons

very little real privacy due to the "shared space" design, all the little perks trick you into working extremely long hours, horrible work-life balance with your boss expecting answers from you at all hours of the night, even when home sick, chastised for how many sick days you take despite their "unlimited sick/mental health day" policy, low salary for the amount of work expected, higher-ups more focused on expansion of brand than retention of employees, HIGH turnover due to lack of respect for employees

Business Outlook

Pros

Innovative, creative, energetic and fast moving real estate tech company. Ideal for agents with a willingness to grow their business by adopting tools and technology that support and allow agents to maximize their potential. Culturally rich brokerage that encourages collaboration amongst its agents and keeps the agents at the fore front and a vital part of the real estate industry. Compass not only elevates the agent, it elevates the brokerage and the industry.

Cons

Fast moving, like most tech companies you must be adaptable and have a willingness to constantly learn new tools
