Compass reviews

Working in the marketing department at Compass means working as an assistant to hundreds of agents at once. There is little organizational structure, and that leads to miscommunication at all levels. As a member of the marketing department, there were decisions being made by outside parties that directly affected my own work, without any advance notice or input. Couple that with an overwhelming workload due to poor staffing, and it's not hard to see why turnover at this company is so high. Additionally, one of the company tenets is "move fast," but that in fact leads to nothing but sloppy work and overextended employees. You're encouraged to work as quickly as possible on everything at once, regularly launching initiatives and products that are not ready for primetime, resulting in a sloppy final product and unhappy agents.

The leadership team is sneaky and not transparent. Instead of laying people off after a huge surge of over hiring they instead invoked voluntary departure through their review process by providing no raises or bonuses to employees. Massive amounts of employees leaving and not opening up headcount to replace them. People management training nonexistant, people managers with no experience in charge of your career path, career maps are fake, promotions given based off personal relationships, not actual achievements, HR team doesn't take feedback from frustrated employees seriously and is never actioned on. Agents are priority and employees are overworked and abused by agents but CEO + leadership will tell you to do everything to make the agents happy.
