Vantaggi
The company as a whole is incredibly fast paced; don't like your current role? It'll fundamentally change within a month! Lots of opportunity to learn tons of skills you may not ordinarily touch as a marketer on the fly, in an industry that doesn't have a lot of dedicated marketing people.
Svantaggi
Working in the marketing department at Compass means working as an assistant to hundreds of agents at once. There is little organizational structure, and that leads to miscommunication at all levels. As a member of the marketing department, there were decisions being made by outside parties that directly affected my own work, without any advance notice or input. Couple that with an overwhelming workload due to poor staffing, and it's not hard to see why turnover at this company is so high. Additionally, one of the company tenets is "move fast," but that in fact leads to nothing but sloppy work and overextended employees. You're encouraged to work as quickly as possible on everything at once, regularly launching initiatives and products that are not ready for primetime, resulting in a sloppy final product and unhappy agents.
