Pros

Compass is an exciting place to be, and motivated individuals looking to take on lots of dynamic work will do well here. Team members are given ample autonomy and there's a lot of opportunity to grow and progress if you're a self-starter. The employees at Compass are genuinely the smartest, most down to earth people as a whole that I've ever worked with; I can legitimately say I like everyone I work with. Hard work and results are fairly rewarded and recognized, and there's a lot of opportunity for moving up the career ladder.

Cons

Working with an array of agent personalities can be tough, and at times staff can take a bit of a beating. That said, I think Compass has worked through a lot of its growing pains and agents seem to be getting a better understanding of how to work well with the teams. The fast growth and changes in direction at Compass is mostly exciting, but people who like a consistent day-to-day or static goals may find it frustrating.

Pros

Amazing amount of support with Agent Operations, Marketing, Transaction Coordination, Product and all in a very collaborative environment. The technology, especially the apps, is fantastic. And the fact that the leadership and staff support aren't coming from former real estate professions brings a fresh perspective to the business and takes it to a higher level. They have a sincere interest in always improving.

Cons

I still put up my own open house signs. LOL.

Pros

I'm a real estate agent in Washington, DC with 6+ years of experience. I have not found a better brokerage to affiliate with. The local and national leadership are second to none, the local staff support is something no other brokerage offers (at least that I'm aware of) and the tools that Compass has and is creating are some of the best in the industry. They truly put the agent first and want us to succeed.

Cons

We are growing rapidly so doesn't feel like a boutique brokerage anymore (if that's really a con).
