Pros

Work/life balance, gym reimbursement, stock options. Compass' mission to remove the antiquation of real estate is extremely exciting.

Cons

Disrespectful and extremely one-sided leadership. Be prepared to be blindsided by toxic leadership styles and communication.

Better for agents than employees

Pros

Has good heath insurance including dental and vision. Stock purchase options and 401k (no employer match). Most employees are driven, passionate people. Some departments are 100% remote.

Cons

Burnout is an issue and turnover feels high. There are more layers of management than seem necessary. The annual review process takes an extended period of time and increases for even highly ranked employees are insultingly low. Internal tools are haphazardly rolled out with little prep time, instruction, or follow up. Communication and transparency are severely lacking. It's a work hard, fail fast kind of company.

Pros

Teammates & internal partners are fun to work with. Flexibility in where you work was nice, between home locally & the offices locally. Good base pay

Cons

Office environment is for the Agents you sell to & not the people of the company. Hard to work there sometimes from a sales perspective. Cut throat if performance isn't over 100% for more than 2 quarters. (70% is grounds for a PIP). Leadership can flip a switch from being your best friend to cold even when you bring solution oriented information to their eyes. Once they make a decision they do not take input & evaluate for mutual success. They won't pay previous quarters commissions if you leave. They got more strict on remote work and where you were over the summer. AKA even though we are remote most days, if you were working from somewhere not in your market, you had to get approval.
