Pros

I don't there are any pro's left

Cons

terrible management, they are totally clueless, are in meetings all day, and have no idea what is happening. They are outsourcing jobs and not letting the agent community know. The few people who are left and haven't quit or been laid off are all miserable. Also they keep cutting benefits, also if you're near your sabbatical you'll probably be laid off before you make it.

Pros

The employees who I work with on my team are the best in the business, and make all the bad things that go along with working at Compass tolerable.

Cons

Not the same company as it was two years ago. The CEO and executive leadership does not care about the employees, only the agents. No pay raises in two years, yet constantly having perks removed or additional costs added for insurance. Forced to return to office 5 days a week, when the company thrived during the remote period. The business blames the employees and the housing market instead of taking any accountability.
