I have 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??

I have 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

I worked at Compass Group full-time for less than a year
Pros – I can not think of a single pro.
Cons – Employee welfare was never taken into consideration, it was a nightmare to ever get through to HR, expected to work unreasonable hours and treated like a general dogs body. Manager was utterly useless and cared more about impressing the client than the fact you had so much work to do you didn't even have time to go to the loo or get a drink. When I raised my concerns they fell on deaf ears. I would NEVER work for this company or recommend them to anyone. My direct line manager was "fired" whilst on holiday, she came back to a phone call asking her not to return to the client site and they had blocked her pass so she could not get in. She had no idea this was happening, it was very underhanded and shocking.
Advice to Senior Management – When someone says they can't cope with the work load, don't wait until they are signed off with acute stress and heading for a nervous breakdown before you assess the situation and hire more staff. I was treated as a guinea pig on how to run a new department and management didn't seem to care about me.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
