Pros

There are a handful of people that are very collaborative and take a lot of pride in their work

Cons

The executives at Compass don’t have Real Estate experience and hide behind the term “LFR” (Learn from Reality). They will learn from reality of other brokerages for most things but do not when it comes to financial discipline. They have “invested” in technology and the agents but have not proven that this business model is sustainable (there is no ROI on these investments). Even in the best year in real estate (2021), they did not turn a profit. Yet they continue to spend money on the platform without having any monetization strategy. This has lead to the layoffs which impacted over 400 people in the org. Feels like the company is being run by children and their best friends (all of which do not have experience in this industry).

Pros

Amazing coworkers, decent work life balance and great benefits

Cons

Frequent layoffs, high turnover, forced to go to the office 5 days a week when no agents are there, company only cares about the agents and not about staff, spends endless amounts of money on agents but pay raises for staff are little to nothing.
