Pros

It's a very exciting time to be at Compass! Compass is rapidly growing and everyone is truly happy to be here and believes in the direction we're going. Robert is one of the most passionate and captivating speakers I've ever heard! Leadership and management are extremely transparent and approachable. Colleagues are smart, collaborative, hardworking, friendly, and passionate. Lots of opportunities for career growth and advancement. The culture is outstanding and their perks are great (too many to list but a few of my top favorites include: free lunch/snacks, 100% covered health care, gym reimbursement) "Our mission is to help everyone find their place in the world" doesn't only apply to agents and clients but also to their employees; this the first time in my life that I can honestly say that I look forward to coming into work everyday.

Cons

Compass is a very fast-paced environment (although, I don't think of this as a con) but with that said, fast-paced is not for everyone.
