Pros

Good benefit packages Remote opportunity

Cons

The CEO and entire leadership team expanded DRAMATICALLY 2021 and then laid of 450 people. Then a week later they renamed the positions and posted it on LinkedIn. Do yourself a favor and accept other positions because this company things they are the biggest SH** in this world when in fact their stock is down to $3 and they are not doing well.

Pros

I can’t think of any positives from this company. The only “pro” that comes to mind is I now know what kind of company to avoid in the future.

Cons

The brokerage robs their agents. They have obscene annual charges which includes paying for office snacks, I’m not joking. They also ever-so-casually increased their commission split due to them failing financially on a colossal scale from making the company public and the Compass stock being worth nothing. They preach about being catered to the agents, diversity, and having advanced technology. For technology: the amount of times their website has been down is endless, their search engine is not user friendly, and they charge a pretty penny for marketing materials which they make seem like it’s for your benefit when it’s really to market themselves more than anything. Diversity you say? Prepared to be ostracized if you don’t jump on the bandwagon with every “philanthropic” cause they peddle push. The definition of diversity at Compass means as long as you support the same issues as them, you’re diverse. It’s also not a great look when a leading agent in the company sends out an email to all agents regarding how society needs to stop complaining about losing freedoms and that we shouldn’t get freedom if it means others will benefit. This is 150% accurate and I have the receipts to prove it.

Pros

The health insurance is really good. Work/life balance is good. I was compensated fairly.

Cons

I felt extremely micromanaged and I did not enjoy the management style of my direct manager. They actively gossiped about other departments and consistently talked down the agents we were processing files for. I was also very confused multiple times when someone new was hired for a role I know could have been promoted to within the department.
