One of the most toxic work environments. Take note from a former staff and not the 5- star reviews from agents - Office Administrator Compass Employee Review

Pros

- Great snacks - Amazing Staff. Some of the best people I have worked with - Pretty decent benefits

Cons

- Don't be fooled, this is no "tech" company. Just a glamorized real estate company - Managers don't have any kind of training. They were promoted because they had been there the longest with absolutely no training whatsoever. - People left because of comments made by agents to staff. No repercussions because HR is nonexistent and because no matter what, the agent will always be right. I have witnessed, experienced , and heard many instances where if this happened at a traditional company, the person would be reprimanded in some way. Here? Especially if you are a top producing agent, they look the other way - Everything I did was put under a microscope. Dont' give me a job if you think you have to examine every email and project I do. Would get in trouble for not CC'ing your boss in emails because they wanted to see everything you did. - Near the end, they introduced something I have never seen in my life. They had people track hour by hour exactly what they were doing. They never told us why but told us this was mandatory. I was one of the 400 people let go due to COVID. They way they handled this situation was atrocious. They wrangled people into a video conference, told everyone to turn off their cameras and microphones , and told us we were no longer employed. There was not one once of humanity in their delivery and it felt like we were cattle sent to slaughterhouse. This experience has taught me so much as to what I am not looking for in my next job, and for that, I am thankful .

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.
