Compass Group UK & Ireland Careers and Employment

I work for compass in an in store cafe for a major retailer. I am a manager at the unitThe relationship between the client and ourselves can be a little strained sometimes, but its an ok place to be.The work is busy, and includes early evenings and weekends.Unfortunately i am now working for my 5th regional manager in 4 years, which isnt very helpful as the areas change a lot.my cafe is also due to close in april 2021, and there is very little we can transfer to, due to there not being a lot of hospitality open right now.The result is probably redundancy, as there is very little effort in finding us a job within the company.Dissappointing end to what i thought would be a job that would last. I would stay with the company if possible

Stressful and understaffed

If your reading this and are thinking of applying for a job with this company avoid at all costs!! I felt genuinely bad for the people I left behind. Understaffed and as a manager was expected to cover staff leave and sickness which resulted in doing nearly 60 hours a week! And no extra pay and when asked for help from higher management my answer was well I did more and it helps the business. No money had been put into the kitchen and the equipment was shoddy and patched together and well below a standard fit for preparing food. The management above do not care and all they want is to turn a quick buck by any means possible. This company only invests in profits not people. Even when you are sick in the toilet you will still be expected to carry on with a manager banging on door and telling u to get back to work to make more money. Staff are left depressed and under valued and the company are not bothered. They give you no training and quite frankly there’s is no training that can prepare you for working for this company

Productive and very stressful place

I loved this place, even though it was very busy and stressful. But the team was good most of the time and we helped each other. Of particular importance is a good manager - we had a terrible manager who failed the business, and his behavior with colleagues and clients was terrible, but we also had a manager who appreciated our work and did not bother to say "thank you", which was an incentive. about us. But the customers were great.

Only if you are truly desperate

If anyone in the Compass group could be bothered which I very much doubt they could really do with someone from higher management going back to the ground floor so they can see for themselves exactly how staff are being treated. You are asked to stand outside in all weathers whilst you wait to sign in first thing in the morning (06.00, freezing in winter) also they are supposed to be a cleaning company, the mops used are as black as coal and if you ask for clean ones you get in trouble, same as the cloths. Managers and team leaders have NO duty of care to their staff and are not interested in any difficulties that you may be experiencing
