Pros
I loved the agents and the projects. When it came to my office, I really enjoyed it.
Cons
The biggest blockers during my time at Compass (about two years) were the layoffs of great managers and the lack of cross-departmental knowledge from those managing me. They excused it by calling them 'people managers,' but this stunted growth because, without experience in the field, these managers were not able to have a pulse on what a senior MA does versus a regular MA. They also added busy work with SPOAships, which took time away from local agents and added little to no value to the state as a whole. This happened because those managers didn’t know what actually mattered. They had no real KPIs. Additionally, quality control was an issue. Some marketing advisors are amazing, while others are not talented and should be let go.
