Pros

Great coworkers, decent salary, decent benefits, snacks.

Cons

These reviews are skewed because it seems to be a mix of Staff and Real Estate Agents reviewing. If it was just Staff reviews, the approval rating would be much lower. Most agents love it here because guess what, that’s all c-level cares about. They build programs and practically throw free money at agents to get them to join Compass. Staff on the other hand? I would argue the opposite. Compass was once a great place to work but everything that was promised in the beginning is slowly being taken away because they are trying to cut back for an IPO. The CFO came in and completely changed the culture. What was once a place filled with energetic and happy employees, is not filled with anxiety, stress, and borderline depression. Now, no roles are being backfilled for people that either left or got laid off, current employees are being asked to take on more and more work without any support (they combined 3 roles into 1) or increased pay, and there is zero transparency from management on anything going on. Compass is NOT a people first place. They no longer value anyone who works on staff. So do yourself a favor, save the heartache and look elsewhere.

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.
