Pros

co-workers, salary, swag, Camp Compass (no longer there), back-end support (no longer there).

Cons

Compass has done significant lay offs since I started with the company. Since my employment in 2018, they laid off staff twice. Even employees who had been with the company since the beginning, as well as employees who went above and beyond their job description, were laid off under the "guise" of COVID-19. Compass is a "hype machine". This company reels people in, poaches people, and gives people false expectations with a competitive salary, benefits package, and culture, which are all diminishing. They promised unlimited sick time, gym reimbursements, snacks, etc. which have all been slowly removed. I was told that I had to be let go, not because of my performance, but because the company financially could not keep me on payroll. They let a majority of us go on a combined video conference call, after we were loyal employees for years and years. What the company did to its devoted staff members was sickening. They did not think about the livelihood of the people who help make the company run.

Pros

Compass definitely has the tech startup feel. Employees are super talented and smart, great benefits, flexible culture. Everyone is willing to help out. You can really make your mark on the company since it is on the smaller side and each office location has its own way of running things.

Cons

At the end of the day, bells and whistles aside, it is still another real estate brokerage. At times, it feels that the needs of the real estate agents (who are independent contractors in relation to the company), are prioritized over the needs of the employees. Employees work tirelessly to make agents successful, but it still does feel that the agents are valued more. Compass has its eye on going public, but this might be damaging the culture over time as the "numbers" grow increasingly more important. Compass just laid off almost 400 employees only one week into the quarantine without batting an eye.
