Fun and fast paced.
Cook (Former Employee), Birmingham, AL –
A typical day at work is hectic yet fun. I learned so much about working in Food and Nutriotion in a hospital setting. Although I have over 20 years experience in food service the last 3 and a half years had been really special because i played a part in helping people feel better. My co-workers were great and fun to work with. I would say the hardest – more...  part of the job was the management team. They were really hard to work. They were more like their own team where we all should be one big team because we were all there for the same purpose. The most enjoyable part of the job is when a server come from off the floors and come tell you how much the patient enjoyed your dish. It makes you feel good. – less

Greedy bottom line driven comany
Food Service Director (Former Employee), Pa –
Pros: m-f
Worked for this company for over 10 years as a Manager and as the years passed the upper management and morals declined. Company is driven by greed and games that worked their employees to the brink of unhappiness and stress. Pension was taken away and unequal pay scale for the same jobs performed by different sexes.During my 10 plus years I can ony – more...  say that I had 2 good District Managers...the other 3 were lazy and brash.I would not recommend them to anyone. – less

Quiznos (Former Employee), Shippensburg, PA –
When I worked for Compass Group on campus it was great to work there. The managers were friendly and so were my co-workers. When I went to work at Burger King my world was turned upside down. In a nut shell a good majority of the staff was family. So it made it harder for anyone to move up the ladder or even get a raise. The non family members were – more...  also the ones that were always asked to work hard. It seemed that the family members were given special privelages. – less

I like being able to work with the public and training
Supervisor at Chick-Fil-A (Current Employee), Greensboro, NC –
Pros: free lunch at any food venue
Cons: no promotions
I enjoy working with the public at the university chick-fil-a food venue along with the attention to detail I must have to do my job; however I feel that I am not allowed to grow beyond a supervisor position. I enjoy being able to train with preparation of the food and the customer service aspect.

Interesting and busy
Food Service Director (Former Employee), Akron, OH –
Pros: something new everyday.
Cons: it will take over your life if you let it.
You may have the same routine everyday, but the inmates will have a different story all the time. We all have the same color blood, they just made some bad choices in their life.

No loyality
Lead Line Cook (Former Employee), Research Triangle Park, Morrisville North Carolina –
Pros: good pay, and benifits
Cons: no layality to employees
I started working for Compass Group in 2003 while living in Chicago. There the company was great, but I needed to move back to North Carolina in 2007, so I transferred to an account there. Then in 2008 I celebrated my 5 years with the company in Oct, the company gave me a framed 5 year placqered. Two weeks later I got laid off, because the elimination – more...  of my job position aka "I made to much money" for the unit I was working at,and according to management there was no place for me to transfer. So 5 years of hard work and loyality by me down the drain. So, you decided if you want to work for this company. I would definately not work for any of their accounts in the RTP area in North Carolina, the district or regional chef suck. Its who you know, when it comes to promotions, not how hard you work or what your experience is. – less

General Manager is cut throat, Regional Manager is a out of touch loser. Laundry staff is locked up in powerstuggle promoted by instable GM.

Strong company with a changing world view...
Executive Chef (Former Employee), Topeka, KS –
The only issue I ever had was with mid-level regional managers looking to further themselves at the expense of the clients. The end of the story is that the client chose to find another vendor because this manager would not accept their requests.
