Not a good long-term prospect.

Pros

Benefits on full-time, unionized, interesting cast of characters at my location.

Cons

Abusive management. Budget so tight we are told we can't afford basic and necessary safety equipment! Non-essential equipment never replaced. Essential equipment not maintained until it malfunctions during a shift. Overworked for the amount of pay we're given. Understaffed. Expected to work "for free"- that is, finish our job and clock out for shift end even if we are given more work than we can manage in the time given. Schedules inconsistent and erratic. Split weekends are common, shifting from early mornings to late nights is common. No communication.

Pros

I don't have much good to say, my time with Compass Group was not pleasant.

Cons

More focus on cost and appearance (more like cheap set dressing) than on product and service. Poor communication, mediocre benefits, scarce career development opportunities, and inconsistent pay scale. They also appear to walk all over their "partners" when they can get away with it.
