Curious, but no where in the article do they give a reason for not supporting the pact. Is there something in the pact that isn't so great? Slovakia simply says that they won't support it under any circumstances, so what exactly is their problem with it? (I haven't read it nor do I know much about it, so I don't know if it's good or bad).

[Boilrig]

I know in Germany there were some lawmakers concerned that it doesn't distinguish between refugees and economic migrants.

Feel free to correct me though on this, I probably missed out some countries which have already voiced their opinion.
I've read a rather apt summary about the objections here:
The gist of the statements of the withdrawing states is basically that the Compact would force states to admit migrants, would be a pull-factor for migration, would contravene domestic migration policies, and violate the states’ sovereignty.

Personal observations:
The pact is non-binding (aka not a treaty), so one could probably ask why not sign it then, whats the worst that could happen? "A text such as the Compact can be “pre-law”, a forerunner of hard law, paving the way for a formal treaty. It can also give rise to the crystallisation of customary international law." Basically there is no guarantee it won't become binding one way or the other in the future. (Austria voiced this concern in particular)
The risk that the whole compact becomes an immgrational pull-factor for countries that implement it is in my opinion very real
The compact has 23 objectives, not one of them is about how origin countries should strive to improve living conditions, therefore mitigating the desire of emigration
