Current Employee – been working at Compass Group full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – - Some good people
- Great focus on development opportunities
Cons – - Very antiquated towards social networks
- No personal music allowed in an open office environment? (How did I keep my sanity?!)
- Too many objectives
- Unwillingness to change some processes due to ties to UK
- Corporate staff hardly get acknowledged (as opposed to front-line staff)
Advice to Senior Management – Please relax some rules, or better yet, get rid of rules that make no sense. Blocking Facebook? Advising against using personal MP3 players
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Compass Group part-time for more than 3 years
Pros – The site I worked at was a fantastic location!
Cons – Compass is nothing but bullys training bullys! I complained after enduring months of bullying from my manager and upper managment did nothing about it! Instead they took me into an office and used intimidation tactics to try and make me back down....unlucky for them I refuse to back down
Advice to Senior Management – If you want to hold on to your good staff then stop treating them so badly. Respect goes both ways! Right now I don't know how you people sleep at night. I would never sell my morals or humanity for a company car and a pay raise.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
