RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Canteen full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
management invests in our future (both personally and professionally), innovative product lines, strong teammates, fast-paced environment, great leadership, great clients - overall it's a really great place if you like a fast-paced environment and multiple things going on at once.
Cons
With fast growth comes a set of challenges - competing priorities, short staffed, etc. None of this is really a con. It's just a reality.
Advice to Management
Keep challenging us to do more and more
Keep being inclusive of different backgrounds & experiencesCanteen 2017-09-13 11:55 PDT![Canteen Logo]()

Pros
Opportunity for growth. Company that loves innovation and being progressive. I have worked for Canteen going on 30 years and I look forward to going to work and working with people every day. Vending may be our bread and butter but our micro-marts are by far the best in the industry. A big company that let's the individual branches have their own identity while still having the resources of a larger corporation. I have always been treated like family.
Cons
Be ready to work no free rides here

Pros
Great people, incredible scale, growth and change. Client and customer focused. Socially responsible and thoughtful leadership. Culture of innovation and execution.
Cons
Very physically and mentally challenging, which you could view as a pro or con. Public perception of this legacy company can include stigmas that are not factual.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Canteen full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Family oriented and takes an interest in the people behind the desk, trucks, and warehouse all to make the company work well together and continue to build a positive impact on the world and community, as well as offer employment to the community
Cons
Reach the people already working there that might be interested in promoting before hiring outside of the company for open positions.
Advice to Management
Look to folks in place that might have some experience that might not even be known because there are a lot of great employees and smart employees working there.

Pros
Opportunity for career growth, good compensation, excellent benefits, and awesome recognition. One of the top employers in the nation, with the most talented team of associates.
Cons
I can't name one negative aspect of working for Compass Group. They have been able to maintain an "approachable" workplace, despite explosive growth.
