Compass Group Employer Reviews

excellent company to work for, have always met my work needs, excellent rates of pay

I research and interpret legal binding union contracts. reconcillation of dues monthly. update databases, research payment descrepencies, calculate benenfit payments. request payments

A great company to work for. A typical day is interacting with both clients and employees and ensuring the day runs smoothly. Over the years I have learned not only about the food and conference business, but also skills in customer service, HR, finance, communication and many other things. It has been an opportunity to interact with many different – more... people and learn from all of them. The hardest part of the job can be effectively managing time - budgeting enough for your team, clients, co-workers and your self to accomplish everything in a timely fashion. It's the people I work with that make it enjoyable everyday. They are just as committed as I am to do the best job and we have fun doing it everyday! – less

The roll I have at compass-Commis chef, is not a complicated one. The only real demand was speed. However the paper work side was unlike any other kitchen job i've had. Compass follow strict procedures and ensure all their staff understand them. I sometimes felt as though myself and my co-workers were being talked to like children because the same points – more... of the job are reiterated over and over on a daily basis which can feel condescending. – less

excellent place to work, with great managers and positive members working

Cooking for approximately 400 students. While keeping the lunch room clean and tidy.

Company was terrible,no structure , no advancement, pay stunk, and managementwas micro managed from another State.

Compass is a good company to work for, with talented managers and many locations to which one can transfer. I work for Eurest, a division of Compass, at a location in Charlotte, NC. My staff and immediate manager are great to work with; both are commited to guest/client satisfaction and great food

the hours are fantastic for a single mom. the pay is poverty level. the communication between district manager and account is ...zilch. when you call HR with a question... told they ONLY speak to managers not associates. wow. thanks

No 2 days were ever the same, fast paced high energy. High retention of associates. The company sets you up for sucess.

Day began with getting the dinning room ready for residents, meal prep, ect then clean up included vacuuming clearing and cleaning tables and washing dishes.

A typical day was to sort documents, log General Journals in database, and assist with accounts payable and receivable.
I learned to communicate with others.
Manager was close by if needed.
Everyone stayed to themselves.
The hardest part of the job was no one talked.
The most enjoyable part we played a game call FISH once a week to bring all the employee – more... together. – less

it is always busy, easy going people, serving & meeting the customers is the enjoyable part of the day.
smileing is the key thing

Co-workers were nice to work with. I have learned to work well with people of various backgrounds.

Former district chef and general manager

This company is broken down into several sectors all with different pros/cons. The few things they all have in common are bellow:

1.You will work long hours but mostly off on weekends
2. Growth is based on position availability but the trend seems to be that only senior leadership gets big promotions
3.pay – more... is ok but based on managed volume, typical chef manager salary is around $40-$55k. If you are in a very large, high profile account you may be able to make more upwards of $70-$80k but these positions are very few and typically given to veteran managers
4. Make no mistakes, your managers are not your friends! You may break bread with them at times And talk about your families but when the financials of the unit are at stake it's all fare game and you will let go to make budget
5.if you are striving for management positions, understand that there is a high turnover rate at around 7-9 years with the company do to lack of opportunity . This company creates positions and titles to keep its regional people employed while eliminating district positions
6. The RVP has all the power with very little supervision so make sure to be on the right side

Remember , it's all about money with Compass group! – less

good, fun, easy going work place
Greet customers and take orders
Provide excellent customer service to the customer Server food to the customer with skill
Some light janitorial jobs

typical day would be hard working in a fast paced environment
I learned a lot about bar tending
management was very good
my co-workers are friendly
hardest part would be unclear customers
working with a group

fun place to work as a single person, but once married and have kids the hours were to much. long days..

the reason it was ok to work there was because it university so students make you enjoy ok to work there

Very busy start to the day:-preparing & cooking breakfast continuing through to 4.30 in the afternoon. In this position I learnt how to deal with happy & not so happy members of the public. I had a great team of ladies with me and got on well with the unit manager as well as the client. The most enjoyable part of this job was a "thank you" from a happy – more... customer. The hardest was probably leaving – less
