Pros

Great office environment when you are actually there. Fairly transparent, good start up tech vibe, decent perks and parties, generally young and fresh.

Cons

Long hours, high turnover, mgmt expects nothing but the best, which can burn some people out. Moves at an incredibly rapid pace, which is not for everybody.

Pros

Real responsibilities, can be great exposure early in career. Company still feels very start up in the way where you can define processes and are able to get involved in pretty high scale things if you are eager enough. They hire great people at Compass,

Cons

Expected to have 3+ jobs, that was the standard. Low pay. Agents can be extremely tough and company only cares about agents. Working in the office with your clients is extremely draining, especially when you are expected to come in 5 days a week and have STRICT hours 9-5. a lot of people were just burnt out. Company shows they don't really care about employees - employees are really not given anything they want (flexible wfh, off site events or conferences, more snacks in the office). Everything that the employees receive is a byproduct of things for the agents. Like free parking - agents, free snack - agents, nice office - agents.

Pros

Excellent pay, great work environment, amazing culture.

Cons

They require you to be in-office 5 days/week, and they do not provide you with a very comfortable setup or a designated workstation for that matter. You end up working entirely off of a laptop screen, and making hundreds of calls within small cramped call booths. In addition, there is basically no benefits whatsoever. They took basically everything away from the staff and invested all of it into the agents/customers.
