      Pros

      I have been with RA for over 10 years. RA is the premier food service sector for Compass Group. Having previously worked for other large contract food service companies, I think Compass and RA are the best. Compass allows RA to maintain it's personality that has made it successful, while having the backing of a global company. We service the best clients across business & industry, as well as major cultural centers. As a company with consistent growth and a policy to promote from within, opportunities abound.

      Cons

      RA is a force in NYC, Boston, D.C., and is continuously expanding. The only con I can think of is that they haven't expanded to my hometown yet, but when they do; Look out Pittsburgh!

      Pros

      Excellent growth potential, company always looks to promote from within. Good pay. Generally good people to work with/for.

      Cons

      Sometimes too much red tape to make changes/fix issues in a timely fashion. Could be more opportunities for feedback on performance.
