Pros

- Strong processes - Great coworkers - Decent benefits - Flexible depending on your team and position - Can apply to other Compass companies after a set time of service

Cons

- Poor communication and lack of transparency from senior leadership - Unrealistic expectations set by senior leadership with strict turnaround dates - Managers lack accountability. Will take credit when team performs well and will point fingers otherwise. Multiple managers took credit for my accomplishments/work here. - Multiple promises made by managers that were never followed-through - Will give you additional responsibilities with minimal/no pay increase, leading to being overworked and underpaid - Company is in process of scaling back costs and opportunities after aggressive expansion plan has lead to poor profitability.

Pros

Mid-paced & customer-facing. Database & GUI driven. Not a call-center environment, but vital to Client-Contractor relationship. Freedom to work hybrid, as needed. GxP facility, so training is expansive & up-to-date.

Cons

Wear many hats, responsible for vastly different aspects regarding subordinates & their daily/special tasks. Pay below average, due to stand-up costs & developing job opportunities while on-site. OJT almost up to par, but needs furthering via seminars, certifications.

Pros

Great benefit options Flexible 401k contribution amounts Company wants to hear how they can improve I loved my manager and my direct leadership team Great work-life balance (no real overtime and when you are off people don't bother you)

Cons

Career advancement was good when I started but has become pretty stagnant (there are a lot of entry level positions or upper management but not much in between) Hiring process has become too long
