Pros

-No two days are the same--each day at Compass holds a new challenge. -Compass encourages employees to obsess about solving problems in creative ways. Compass has taught me that every challenge posed is an opportunity to create a solution. Time spent worrying about a problem instead of solving it is time wasted. I will carry this lesson with me wherever I go. -Colleagues are incredibly bright--everyone is deeply invested in building the future of real estate for agents. -Management encourages employees to allocate a certain percentage of time to focus on "passion projects" that will benefit customers and streamline work. If there is a way you can make a system, process or experience better at Compass, you are encouraged to execute your vision. For a large company, Compass remains very agile. -Countless opportunities to get involved in areas of the company that interest you--just ask!

Cons

-If you aren't comfortable with change, this isn't the place for you. Things change fast at Compass. As an employee, you have to be flexible and able to adapt to new responsibilities quickly. What you did yesterday might not be what you are doing today or tomorrow. -If the customer isn't at the center of all that you do, this isn't the place for you. Each and every agent is the most important agent that we serve in any support role at Compass.

A company called compass, with very little direction.

Pros

Benefits are good Loved my coworkers! Doesn’t match 401k 3 weeks vacation Unlimited sick days, but depending on your “manager” you could get scolded. Work from homes depend on again, who your manager is Snacks The CEO is great, I’ve never had a problem with him A lot of the managers are great except for the Transaction and listing department.

Cons

No real direction. Some days the company wants to be a “startup” other days they want to act like typical corporate America No Human Resources on site which is a big issue, all station in NY Inconsistency with department managers and actual company policy. It’s either we follow the CEO guidelines or not... no manager is the CEO so it should be pretty straight across the board, right? Wrong. Reverse racism (for me) HR needs to be more present with departments and management, a lot of shady things have been done and said by actual w2 employees and managers Figuring out that being agents in large quantities is VERY different from hiring actual QUALITY. Bully like harassment from my previous manager

Health insurance is totally covered

Cons

No leadership, support or direction; launch markets are led by incompetence.
