Pros

Modern offices and 6amers club, getting commissioned paid 1-3 weeks after transaction close date.

Cons

Sales Managers are apathetic, judgmental, have their favorites. Compass is awful in how they treat their employees and how they treat their agents. They say one thing but do another. They added several new fees this year. Your commission split is only good for 2 years and then they negotiate you at a lower level. Team leaders get away with murder and treating their agents like crap. In a dispute, they don't even ask for the agents side of the story- just the team leader and then back them up. There are some awful teams too. Collaborate without ego- only a few agents embody that. Even the splits are bad. With no incentives being offered to buy agents into the brand anymore, it's understandable why agents leave once they're done their contract. If you're an agent reading this, stop giving away so much commission and join a better brokerage that actually practices what they preach. Compass masterminds do not add much value for experienced agents.

Pros

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Cons

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
