Pros

Compass treats agents like they are their #1 client. It seems so simple, yet I had to wonder why other firms just don't get it. Management is constantly asking what tools, technology, programs and offerings would make our job (even our lives) smarter, better and more successful. The culture is unlike anything I've ever experienced. They strive to elevate the role of real estate agent to a higher ethical standard. I came to Compass almost 4 years ago when I watched many top agents in the industry make the move. I wanted to be at the same firm as the agents I most respected. It was the best move I ever made. I've watched many agents come over to Compass and get reinvigorated. Change can be a little scary, but real growth happens when you push yourself.

Cons

I don't know if it's a con, necessarily, but Compass has the best and brightest tech & product people out there. They move FAST. The amount of amazing tools that constantly get rolled out is sometimes hard to keep up with. But I'd certainly rather have more tools than less.

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.
