Pluspunten

WFH flexibility (for now), great coworkers - until they quit or get laid off

Minpunten

Hourly employees are not guaranteed a 40hr work week year round, no merit or cost of living increases, no 401k match, limited upward mobility, high attrition, and OT is heavily restricted if even allowed. “Cost reduction efforts” (lay-offs, reducing hours/pay, loss of benefits) are constant & announced with no notice or compassion. Remaining staff are expected to take on more work with no additional pay. Arbitrary in-office requirements for staff who should work 100% remote by industry standards. The toxic positivity & fear-driven culture embodied by management is truly the cherry on top of dealing with entitled agents who are never held accountable for their often belittling & discriminatory behavior. I’m not even sure where to start with the lack of diversity... You can already imagine who makes up the majority of luxury home clientele & the agents who represent them. This is reflected among staff as well. Don’t be fooled by the biracial CEO - the real face of Compass is white, conventionally attractive & wealthy. POC are disproportionately rejected from open roles, laid off, or held back from growth opportunities while their white counterparts are hired & promoted at almost alarmingly fast rates. Complacency is the norm, & if you question it or are unwilling to perform it, you are deemed a “bad culture fit.”

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
