Fun to work with
General Assistant (Part-time) (Former Employee) - Dover, Kent - 2 August 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedGood company to work for but not enough hours and and not enough wages but good a enough for a single person. You interact with the residents on a daily basis and offer entertainment at weekends. It can be fast pase at times but are supported when needed. There is always someone there if needed

Stay clear
Chef (Former Employee) - Basingstoke - 11 August 2022
Don’t think I have anything positive to say about my job whilst I was there. Was constantly stressed due to short staff and no one wanted to jump in and help. Get blamed for things that are way out of you’re pay grade and your actual duties. Management only care about themselves. You are just a number
Pros
Home time
Cons
Stressful, short staffed, management, salary

Insights into Compass Group
Areas for improvement
- Sense of belonging
- Trust in colleagues
- Support from manager
Don't do their private events! Managers are belittling but most staff are okay.
Bar Staff (Former Employee) - Chester, Cheshire - 8 August 2022
I enjoyed my race days as the team leaders on race days are friendly. However, on private events, I was belittled: talked about as if I wasn't there, and had a tray shoved in my face by my supervisor to "go collect the glasses" although my job was behind the bar and they had glass collectors. I was asked rudely "Are you sure you're a bartender?" as I asked how the tills (which I had NOT worked on) work and what was the house wine as I didn't have wine and mainly worked on serving drinks while another worked the till on the race days.

very difficult place to work
Cafe general manager (Former Employee) - Milton Keynes - 2 August 2022
The job itself is fine, hard work as involves cooking as well as management duties. The problem with the job is that you are working for two companies in effect, and compass needs to keep it wage bill down in order to make money on the contract. This means that you never have enough staff to do the job properly unfortunately.

Good place to work for quick money
Sales assistant/Cashier (Former Employee) - Leicester - 23 July 2022
It was ok to work for quick money, job was easy enough. Just wish they would have washed the fleeces before handing them out to us. Also wish they would give us extra minutes on our time sheet as we would have to queue up to collect our belongings and the queues would be really long,sometimes you could spend 30 - 45 mins just waiting
Pros
Free lunches
Cons
Unwashed fleeces

Could do better
Kitchen Assistant (Former Employee) - London - 21 July 2022
The job in itself was ok but management don't listen to concerns and make you feel undervalued. I went to the area manager many times about an issue and was brushed off each time.
Pros
Free lunch, school holidays
Cons
Overtime unpaid

Good team spirit. Ethos of the company is admirable.
Compass Community Team Member (Current Employee) - Rustington - 19 July 2022
Lots of opportunities for advancement. The 'community' side of the company is supportive and is committed to staff well-being. The company covers different areas of support for children and young people so employee experiences can be very different depending on your role.
Pros
Work from home. Control my own calendar. Recognition of hard work.
Cons
You need to have high levels of resilience and commitment when working directly with the children.

Security
Security Officer (Current Employee) - Whiston, Merseyside - 18 July 2022
Say good by to any social life you may have had, you will never get a weekend off unless you use a holiday, you will have no idea what shifts you will be one until a week before, no support from managment and nhs staff paid much more for doing the same job makes a toxic enviroment

Crash and burn
Sous Chef (Current Employee) - Dartmouth, Devon - 2 July 2022
Compass do not care about anyone, you are just a number on a spreadsheet to them. They will work you until you drop dead, then just kick you aside and move on.

Lovely place to work
Domestic Cleaner (Current Employee) - Liverpool, Merseyside - 26 June 2022
Really good job if you like fast pace hard work. Overtime is readily available if you wish to take it. Management and staff are all great. Time on shift flies by as can be so busy.

I love the job
Catering Assistant (Current Employee) - Bradford - 23 June 2022
The wage is poor as are holidays and no company sick pay, hence the turnover of staff and senior managers need to respect the work that the staff do as always short staffed
Pros
Hours suit me
Cons
Poor pay
