Compass reviews

Expected to have 3+ jobs, that was the standard. Low pay. Agents can be extremely tough and company only cares about agents. Working in the office with your clients is extremely draining, especially when you are expected to come in 5 days a week and have STRICT hours 9-5. a lot of people were just burnt out. Company shows they don't really care about employees - employees are really not given anything they want (flexible wfh, off site events or conferences, more snacks in the office). Everything that the employees receive is a byproduct of things for the agents. Like free parking - agents, free snack - agents, nice office - agents.

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.
