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

After 5 years, I can confidently say that the best part of working here is the illusion that it's lovely place to work that takes roughly 2-3 years to evaporate. Leaving soon becomes the greatest PRO.

Cons

Visionless leadership creating an aimless, overly complicated product that seeks out to replicate other industry offerings rather than innovating and attempting to provide novel value to agents. Laid off over 1k Product/Eng/Support staff in 2022 alone (so far)!

Pros

Flexible working arrangement, excellent benefits.

Cons

Culture is changing from when I started. Financially I lost trust in the business. They are burning cash to keep agents. Agents are treated like kings while employees end up being cost savings levers. They are beginning outsourcing and offshoring across almost every internal team. Managers unfortunately look out for themselves when times get hard and there is heavy favoritism across the business. Agent recruiting strategy is shifting to lower dollar agents because they are cheaper to pay and retain plus Compass keeps more of their split. Luxury agents already dislike this and over time they will need to spin off a non-luxury brand or retention will get worse (already in trouble). Will they make it? Probably. Will it be pleasant to get there? Not likely for anyone.
