Pros

When your first call the day you join is from the CEO saying how excited he is to have you there you know you are joining an exceptional company. The whole team is a joy to work with daily and so knowledgable and helpful.

Cons

Growing quickly but they are staying on top of it so well!

Pros

I have been an agent all my adult life in the local market for 29+ years. Compass is all I envisioned the future of real estate to be and then some. The focus on building technology and tools to support the agent who in turn can provide more to the client is second to none in the industry. The support that Compass provides from employees to tech and marketing is unsurpassed. Unlimited tools that save time and make agents look good are phenomenal. There is no other company that provides what Compass does.

Cons

The rapid growth is in danger of loosing the collaboration of agents at times. I would think that a little more research on who fits the culture than filling a desk or office and no matter the production. This is the only thing that I can see that could make or break an office.

Pros

Fast. Fun. Innovative. Ethical. Smart. Infectious. Gorgeous. Simply, an amazing company that will have the some of the best brand recognition of any company out there inside of five years.

Cons

It's a young company with an already big and growing footprint, so sometimes things take a little time to catch up with themselves. But Compass is still far more nimble than any other brokerage out there.
