Pros

The technology, marketing and management talent, and level of support for agents is currently unmatched in the real estate industry. I spent time at William Raveis and Jack Conway and Compass blows them away in these very important areas. Not even close. The office culture is also awesome because Compass is very careful about hiring talented/hardworking people who all contribute to a positive work environment. Over the last 20 years I have been a Broker/Owner and worked for Raveis and Conway, and joining Compass is by far the best business decision I have ever made.

Cons

Not joining Compass sooner!

Pros

The culture at Compass is amazing. Every single person I've come across (about 750) has been friendly, collaborative, and really smart. As I write this, I can imagine people reading this being skeptical. I totally get it, because Compass is so different from any other company I've come across in my 32 years of being in the workforce. But when you work for a company that has some of the following principles, hopefully, you will understand - #DreamBig, #CollaborateWithoutEgo, and #BounceBackWithPassion. Since I'm fortunate to have a very strong network of friends throughout the country, I get one or two calls a week from people that are considering applying to Compass for a job. I love these calls because I can hear the excitement in my friends' voices when I share with them what Compass is all about. I’m so happy and proud to say I work for Compass.

Cons

I'm having a hard time thinking of any.
