Pros

Free lunch! Decent benefits package. Lots of opportunity to move into other positions and get promoted.

Cons

A very large company. On the AV end of things, management was very incompetent, very passive, and generally speaking did not care about the health and well-being of their employees.

Pros

It's a great entry level or "starting your career" company. Depending on your job, there may be opportunities to network with other companies so you can move forward in your career.

Cons

You will most likely be undervalued, under appreciated and under paid. You'll quickly realize this and start looking for new opportunities as soon as three months in (such as myself). There aren't many opportunities for advancement, hence the high turnover rate. The environment is very "micro-managey." You will spend a a decent portion of your day/weeks dealing with busy work. Management often times isn't able to help. Frequently I had to figure things out for myself even when I asked management for help. Compass most likely loses out on business opportunities because many times my client asked for more help, promoting me, etc and management didn't take action and if they did it was too late.

Pros

Some of the pros for working for the 4th largest company in the world is that you have a great infrastructure to rely on when you need to & it's worldwide, so making an international transistion is relatively easy

Cons

Everything else about this company is a con. The people they employ, the policies they abide by, the HR department, the pay, the benefits, the growth opportunities and potential, etc. Any and every thing else you can think of.
