    Pros

    Quick interviewing process for the position I applied for. Great pay and benefits over competitors, a lot of training if you look for it.

    Cons

    Some of the co-workers choose to be negative about work life balance instead of making it work for them. However Compass has a training in Jose to deal with different personalities.
