    Low pay, definitely not a living wage. A disgruntled co-worker made me feel unsafe after threatening me and management did nothing about it. Little room for change, a corporate structure. They do some things better than others. Definitely better ethics and quality than a fast food job, but that's not saying much! Overall, for a larger company, I'd like to see better wage increases over time for employees that stay on. Not nickel and dime-ing hard-working employees that have been there a while and shouldn't have to work overtime or a second job every week to make ends meet.
    Compass Group is a mother company that is an umbrella for over 30 food Service companys. The employee benefits are awesome and plentiful. They offer an employee benefits hub offering a wide range of discounts. The company has flexible hours where anybody can find the right position for them selves. Also the potential for a raise is renewed annually!
