Pros

great place to get experience working at a fast-paced company

Cons

During my first 6 months at Compass, my manager did not acknowledge me whatsoever. I attempted to schedule multiple 1:1 meetings to discuss what was expected of me and was stood up and ghosted for every single meeting I scheduled. Compass says they pride themselves on top management when they don't train their people managers and ignore negative feedback. Spent the majority of my time at the company (2+ years) going through messy performance review processes that were unexpectedly changed every time. Every performance review I went through, I received a score that was considered "excellent", was even promised a raise during one of my reviews. Then the HR team claimed there was a computing error and they weren't able to give out raises. They seemed to find every justification under the sun for why they couldn't give anyone a bonus or raise, unless you were an obvious favorite. When you try to contact an HR person to discuss how you feel undervalued and underpaid, there is virtually no one to help you or listen. At the end of my time there, they laid-off 20% of staff on a mass bluejeans call, where they put everyone on mute and told us it was our last day.

Pros

Real estate agents are their customers. All the technology and tools are designed to help agents work more effectively.

Cons

There is a push to earn a higher commission from each transaction. There is no cap on the amount you pay Compass.
