Pros

Responsibilities are minimum compared to high paying occupation, although you still work hard. Almost everyone that works there is genuinely friendly, or feels like they are in the same boat as you. They usually seem to give their employees a large discount on eating their own food.

Cons

They compensate terribly for technical jobs. Knowledge of hardware and software systems is not adequately respected by management. They treat their employees as expendable, but pretend to value everyone for the individual that they are. Moving to another position internally that is considered a promotion will land you a small raise no matter how complicated the new position is. Most people leave the company to come back so they can get hired for a higher pay. Uninspiring environment.

Low pay, oblivious management

Pros

Some high quality people work here. They take their jobs seriously and for the most part get along with one another. The sniping/gossiping problem is relatively mild.

Cons

Office management is oblivious to the staff. My last year's employee evaluation was almost 3 months late with no explanation. I was highly rated, but then management reneged on my raise, cutting it by two/thirds. Equipment breaks down and stays busted sometimes for weeks(this is partly a hospital management i.e non-Compass failing). Management has cut expenses to the bone and got rewarded for doing so. My hours have been cut twice in three years. My employee evaluation for this year is already a month late, again with no explanation. Some office people don't even want to talk to kitchen employees. Management thinks they can cure all problems with slogans and rah-rah pep talks. And we have more company meetings than Dilbert.

Pros

Treat their employee well. Pay the salary on time to their employee. As i am working at one of the chain of compass group, so i don't have much to say about compass group.

Cons

Did not find much cons accept that the pay is considerable less to the amount of work employee do and also benefits is not appropriate.
