Pros of working at Compass Group USA

I enjoy the free lunches and the PTO.

Cons of working at Compass Group USA

I do not enjoy the pay as I don't feel like it is comparable to other clinical dietitian jobs in this city. In addition, the only way to "move up" or advance your pay is to get away from clinical dietetics and into management or the food service side.

Steady hours and steady pay.

Cons of working at Compass Group USA

Too much to mention... supervisors show favoritism constantly, don't get appreciated for all my hard work, I get really lousy raises while others who've been there less time get continuous big raises, upper management never does anything about all of the things that go on within the company...

Pros of working at Compass Group USA

My colleagues are great and you have the ability to move up the ladder.

Cons of working at Compass Group USA

As an hourly employee, the pay is below a livable wage no matter the state you live in. We're constantly short-staffed. There's nothing wrong with supporting your teammates, however when management see's you helping in other areas, they tend to take too much advantage of that. The yearly raises are next to nothing, scheduling is all over the place. Some managers expect you to pull miracles out of thin air all while you're down multiple employees due to call-outs or no-call no-shows. Depending on your manager, they might not help out when desperately needed and if they do, they won't really understand the tasks at hand. Also, if your manager did not start off as a fellow employee, chances are that they won't fully comprehend all that you do to support the company. Overall, I believe that in order to have a dedicated and loyal team, managers and corporate need to provide a LIVABLE wage to their hourly employees. Minimum doesn't get anyone anywhere. Also, being actively involved with your employees will do wonders. Listen to their work related issues and administer a solution and be transparent. Compass Group is a multi-billion dollar international company. They would not have made it this far without the ENTIRE team-- and that definitely includes their hourly employees who are the backbone.

Compass Group USA benefits

Although the choices are on the expensive side, full-time employees benefit from health, vision, and dental insurance. Paid vacation, sick hours, and a 401K account are pretty great. Depending on your location and manager, you will receive a free lunch once a day. Other locations take it out of your paycheck before taxes.
