Very progressive
Real Estate Agent (Current Employee) - Doylestown, PA - June 20, 2022
Great company to work for - from the top down. Great managers as well. The entire staff is concentrated on working for the agents to allow agents to focus on what is important - selling real estate

Becoming Jaded
Office Administrator (Current Employee) - Dallas, TX - December 7, 2021
The company wide goal(s) are honorable and it is clear the agents are highly valued. The actual work is simple with tasks like: Refilling X Y and Z items or routing calls and entering payment info into a database. The office events are always over the top and thrilling, however you "must" attend each of them or be ostracized despite them telling you it's understandable if you cannot go. I love the strong personalities and creative liberties they give you during event planning/prep which makes you feel very valuable. I'm not at all a fan of the poor or passive aggressive internal communication especially in an industry where communication is key. A lot of huge egos and vanity when there shouldn't be when we're a team.
Pros
Room for promotion, Fun parties, innovative, inclusive towards agents, great dress code, "instant" benefits, great IT support, fancy Macbooks, snacks, Big name agents
Cons
Not allowed to discuss performance feedback, not very racially diverse, micromanagement, egos

Compass real estate is a terrific real estate brokage
Realtor (Former Employee) - Newport Beach, CA - March 31, 2021
Compass has great technology tools, great people for your assistance, and awesome environment for you to work as a real estate agent. However, the Emission and Error insurance each agent has to pay is higher than other brokage.
Pros
Awesome environment and plentiful resources for real estate agent.
Cons
Hign ENO insurance

A lot of hype - but overall positive when you adjust your expectations
Agent (Former Employee) - Westchester County, NY - February 18, 2021
A lot of hype and not a great deal of industry knowledge. Calling itself a tech company because it set about reinventing the wheel, recreating tools in glitchy form that existed elsewhere. Wrapping them in sleek Adobe based graphics elevates form over function. So called “AI” lens are just before and after photos with a slider. Not a reinvention of space based on renovation. All the other tools are much the same. But overall nice, if somewhat hapless, folks who don’t understand what is already out there.
Pros
Snacks
Cons
Lack of local knowledge and real estate industry.

Great People
Real Estate Agent (Current Employee) - California - December 29, 2020
Everyone who works here is also working with those who you now call family. Each office allows for different team members to come in with open arms. Real Estate can be challenging but the companies environment makes it worth it.

This company is going down fast. Read the fine orint folks. This company only cares about there bottom line
Agent (Former Employee) - Nashville, TN - September 19, 2020
I have been with great companies and compass was a huge disappointment they end up taking more than they agree to take from your check. They give you money foe marketing and they tKe it back. This is the biggest joke! They look good on internet. No social interaction. Horrible experience .
Pros
Look good online
Cons
They are a quick loss to the real estate field!

Fantastic Place to work but not as Front Desk
Office Administrator (Former Employee) - Beverly Hills, CA - March 18, 2020
Great teams and great people passionate about their work and the good that they do in real estate. Agent Teams are great, IT team is the best around. If entering into a Marketing, Development, Account Transaction processing position, highly recommend as the right career step. They will work you to the bone but you will learn.
Front Desk / Receptionist was a great position. Definitely required the ability to be a self-starter, exceptional attention to detail and patience. Great role to develop your resume. You will learn how to do monthly expenses, rent out event spaces and gain numerous abilities transferable to an executive assistant position elsewhere.
The role eventually became a position where your every move was micromanaged by people who never performed your job but assumed they had the expertise to do so. If you tried to ask why things were functioning a specific way or attempted to follow up, there was the possibility you would receive a condescending response in turn from a supervisor.
Not worth it for this specific role in the end but again if looking into other departments at Compass Real Estate, you are bound to thrive, work hard and enjoy your work experience.

Productive and educational workplace.
Personal Assistant (Former Employee) - Danville, CA - February 4, 2020
In a typical day at work I assisted a real estate agent in Danville, California. I undertook tasks that ranged anywhere from running errands to filing taxes to communicating with various clients. I learned how to stay organized and multitask throughout this job.
