-The tech platform truly does not provide a competitive advantage for Compass agents in market. Most employees do not believe Compass is a tech company, but rather a well-funded brokerage
-Agent support structure does not provide career growth internally nor positioned for tech scalability - and job an tend to quite monotonous (Agent Experience, Marketing, etc).
-Young, inexperienced middle managers who are poorly trained and many times, are much less experienced than those they are managing.
-Nepotism and favoritism for HQ employees. It’s near impossible to get performance recognition, let alone a promotion for non-HQ staff.
-P&E is visibly favored by Robert and management. For example, during Covid all employees are taking pay cuts except P&E.
-Agents are put above employees, every single time. I knew colleagues who were scared of agents because they got treated so poorly.
-Lack of preparedness or planning by upper level management made processes change every day / added work - all under the guise of #MovingFast. Start ups change direction quickly but they’re usually is transparency. Moreover, Compass is not a start up.
-High turnover among C-suite
-Lack of diversity, particularly racial diversity in the New York region as late as 2018. This has gotten better over the past couple of years.
-Upon signing employment contract with Compass, you are sold one thing and as cost cutting has increased for IPO, many things have been removed slowly over time.
