Pros

*Fantastic culture, they clearly care about the individual enjoying their time at the workplace *Catered lunches every day, most of the time with healthy options *Snacks and beverages galore *Lots of places to sit besides "your desk" to break up the monotony *Free dinner if you work past 8pm and cab reimbursed if you work past 10pm *Open floor plan, so only a couple higher ups actually have offices. Most everyone is given equal work space *Dedicated Compass facilities staff so it's always clean, stocked, and anything broken is fixed within a day *They put a lot of effort into making sure candidates fit the culture and will get along with the company well, let alone checking references, so a lot of very smart, very future-minded people *Consistently hire best of the best, including minds from Google, Amazon, LinkedIn, Twitter, and top agents in respective regions *They promote from within the company when possible, so you can actually grow in your field *Great benefits that have an option for $0 premiums with low co-pays. 401K will soon be in place

Cons

*The fast pace is not for everyone *Explosive growth seems to constantly beat out the hiring capacity, so many fields are a bit understaffed, just from lack of being able to hire people fast enough *Occasional long hours and weekend work, based on certain projects, but as most positions are salaried there is no overtime pay.

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.
