Compass Group Employer Reviews

excellent place to work, with great managers and positive members working

Cooking for approximately 400 students. While keeping the lunch room clean and tidy.

Company was terrible,no structure , no advancement, pay stunk, and managementwas micro managed from another State.

Compass is a good company to work for, with talented managers and many locations to which one can transfer. I work for Eurest, a division of Compass, at a location in Charlotte, NC. My staff and immediate manager are great to work with; both are commited to guest/client satisfaction and great food

the hours are fantastic for a single mom. the pay is poverty level. the communication between district manager and account is ...zilch. when you call HR with a question... told they ONLY speak to managers not associates. wow. thanks

No 2 days were ever the same, fast paced high energy. High retention of associates. The company sets you up for sucess.

Day began with getting the dinning room ready for residents, meal prep, ect then clean up included vacuuming clearing and cleaning tables and washing dishes.

A typical day was to sort documents, log General Journals in database, and assist with accounts payable and receivable.
I learned to communicate with others.
Manager was close by if needed.
Everyone stayed to themselves.
The hardest part of the job was no one talked.
The most enjoyable part we played a game call FISH once a week to bring all the employee – more... together. – less

Co-workers were nice to work with. I have learned to work well with people of various backgrounds.

Former district chef and general manager

This company is broken down into several sectors all with different pros/cons. The few things they all have in common are bellow:

1.You will work long hours but mostly off on weekends
2. Growth is based on position availability but the trend seems to be that only senior leadership gets big promotions
3.pay – more... is ok but based on managed volume, typical chef manager salary is around $40-$55k. If you are in a very large, high profile account you may be able to make more upwards of $70-$80k but these positions are very few and typically given to veteran managers
4. Make no mistakes, your managers are not your friends! You may break bread with them at times And talk about your families but when the financials of the unit are at stake it's all fare game and you will let go to make budget
5.if you are striving for management positions, understand that there is a high turnover rate at around 7-9 years with the company do to lack of opportunity . This company creates positions and titles to keep its regional people employed while eliminating district positions
6. The RVP has all the power with very little supervision so make sure to be on the right side

Remember , it's all about money with Compass group! – less

fun place to work as a single person, but once married and have kids the hours were to much. long days..

Work a minimum of 55 hour a week. Was expected to work with little help or support. Loved the Administration I worked for. They were very complimenary of work and effort.
Boss was egotistical and paranoid. Resigned from this job and wished I had done it sooner! Wasted almost three years of my life.
Never had a follow up exit interview, after having – more... a stellar job review!Someone at corporate miss the "bus!" – less

Mid level plays CYA when they get caught, everybody downhill is collateral damage. If you don't play ball you're done and when you do and there's trouble you're done. Culture and values are great until it goes haywire then they go against their own rules. They don't walk the talk! They promise you and the client trained and certified help and don't – more... provide it, double rip off! Then when you fail they get rid off you instead of preventing or fixing it.

They (sales) make promises to client that can't be kept to get the contract and then THEY disappear! (After they get their (commission)

If you live in a State where it's legal for them to not pay out owed PTO; TAKE IT. They will outright tell you you can't take time for the needs of the business and when you get fired you WILL lose it, and if you are dumb like me a lot of it. – less

Great company to grow with, learned how to run a P&L Account the past 2 years I was in the top 3 of our region, team players hard workers, the hardest part was probably the extra programs we were required to do that didn't always benefit our personal location. most enjoyable part I love people and making people happy so in the service industry that's – more... what is easy – less

work cleaning keeping logs
management was poor 3-4 different mangers in just the time period i worked there.
other employees were nice to be around

The typical day @ the job consist of a talk on-talk off shift with other supervisor which let me know what is going on, and the mentality of the associates.
Putting people first , is the greatest knowledge one can achieve in the customer service business.
My co-workers and myself complete each other to preform task , at hand.
The hardest part of the – more... job is when associates do not put their best foot forward
The most enjoyable part of the job is having a student say thank you , when helping them to find a item or the meal was right on the mark. – less
