Pros

Compass group allowed me to develop my culinary skills, and management skills, while allowing me to keep my life as a single dad in line.

Cons

Compass group has been holding on to many accounts in the CT region that are small and not challenging for me, and with company's leaving the state i feel I want to find work elsewhere.

Half an hour break for a 9 hour day Gossipy and clicky co-workers who are lazy Have to complete an extensive course about health & safety, food hygiene & other legal stuff which takes weeks, you have to complete in your own time and didn't get told this at interview Didn't like you having toilet breaks and got questioned whenever you needed the toilet.

Pros

Easy online training/employee system, easy onboarding and exit. Great staff selection because of strict criteria and opportunities for very qualified temporary visa holders as well as students.

Cons

Felt like working in a developing country. No rights, no WHS - this was completely ignored. At least 3 injuries during my time there with no support or change from management. Reporting any incidents was discouraged (required to wear heels on very slippery floor, glasses would regularly break in the dishwasher and cut staff when handling). Extreme cost-cutting to the point that staff from other divisions and companies had to help each other out (eg cutting down chefs to the point that the dishwasher had to cook, housekeeping assisting waiters, staff was so overworked and stretched that even the high-level guests felt sorry). This became even worse after I left which is unfortunate as good quality staff left as well.
