Smoke & Mirrors Masking Incompetent Leadership - Anonymous employee Compass Employee Review

Hourly employees are not guaranteed a 40hr work week year round, no merit or cost of living increases, no 401k match, limited upward mobility, high attrition, and OT is heavily restricted if even allowed. “Cost reduction efforts” (lay-offs, reducing hours/pay, loss of benefits) are constant & announced with no notice or compassion. Remaining staff are expected to take on more work with no additional pay. Arbitrary in-office requirements for staff who should work 100% remote by industry standards. The toxic positivity & fear-driven culture embodied by management is truly the cherry on top of dealing with entitled agents who are never held accountable for their often belittling & discriminatory behavior. I’m not even sure where to start with the lack of diversity... You can already imagine who makes up the majority of luxury home clientele & the agents who represent them. This is reflected among staff as well. Don’t be fooled by the biracial CEO - the real face of Compass is white, conventionally attractive & wealthy. POC are disproportionately rejected from open roles, laid off, or held back from growth opportunities while their white counterparts are hired & promoted at almost alarmingly fast rates. Complacency is the norm, & if you question it or are unwilling to perform it, you are deemed a “bad culture fit.”
