Pros
I've been working at Compass since it was originally founded as Urban Compass back in 2013. It was at a time when their business model was very different from the current brokerage. People often ask me what made me go there so early on... as crazy as it sounds, I knew. I knew it would be the national (hopefully global) recognizable brand that is now rapidly becoming synonymous with cutting edge real estate brokerage fueled by proprietary technology. That did not exist in real estate brokerage previously. There was also a level of passion that captivated me, these were people who loved the idea of creating, building and working together to achieve something. It has been at core of the company since the very beginning. It is intoxicating.
Kontras
Compass may not be for everyone. It is a space for growth, experimentation, collaboration, creating and failing... and most importantly learning from those failures. That's not an environment for everyone. Many people are happy to follow along with the status quo. That's okay. Compass is a place for growth.
