Pros

The hours for the location I worked at were great. Monday-Friday, 6am-3pm. Chef coats provided by company.

Cons

Location was located downtown so no parking lot for employees. Had to pay for our own parking. Management had attitudes and would often yell and berate employees. At one point, we had no morning dishwasher so all the line cooks had to take turns washing dishes in the pit. All the dishwasher duties were divided up between the morning cooks. Plus we had to do all of our own prep and still be set up on time before the lunch rush. Management had zero intentions to hire another dishwasher and just expected us to do all of the work. Not sure how our head chef got the job. Lack of knowledge about basic and cultural recipes often led to interesting sauces and dishes that were thought to be fantastic.

Pros

Autonomy, trust, not being tied to a desk, and encouragement to bring your authentic self to work are among the highlights. However, as a contractor, this may vary from account/site to site. Also, annual raises awarded, despite what the client schedule for increases looks like. A huge network of subsidiary companies

Cons

My current client site is one of the higher paying in my region, which is a good problem to have for some time, but leaves little room to grow financially. Also, growth rarely if ever happens staying in the same account, so financial/role growth will rest mostly upon pursuing other opportunities at different Compass accounts.
