Pros

Love my coworkers and day-to-day relationships.

Cons

Return to office killed the company culture - who demands 5 days a week back to the office when the company saw its most growth and productive teams during a period where most were 100% remote?

Pros

In house built technology platform so you don't really need to buy any other apps to run your business. Full time support staff for technology, transaction and marketing. Incredible training

Cons

They do take a % of each transaction to pay for the support staff and technology

Pros

Modern offices and 6amers club, getting commissioned paid 1-3 weeks after transaction close date.

Cons

Sales Managers are apathetic, judgmental, have their favorites. Compass is awful in how they treat their employees and how they treat their agents. They say one thing but do another. They added several new fees this year. Your commission split is only good for 2 years and then they negotiate you at a lower level. Team leaders get away with murder and treating their agents like crap. In a dispute, they don't even ask for the agents side of the story- just the team leader and then back them up. There are some awful teams too. Collaborate without ego- only a few agents embody that. Even the splits are bad. With no incentives being offered to buy agents into the brand anymore, it's understandable why agents leave once they're done their contract. If you're an agent reading this, stop giving away so much commission and join a better brokerage that actually practices what they preach. Compass masterminds do not add much value for experienced agents.
