Low pay, oblivious management

Pros

Some high quality people work here. They take their jobs seriously and for the most part get along with one another. The sniping/gossiping problem is relatively mild.

Cons

Office management is oblivious to the staff. My last year's employee evaluation was almost 3 months late with no explanation. I was highly rated, but then management reneged on my raise, cutting it by two/thirds. Equipment breaks down and stays busted sometimes for weeks(this is partly a hospital management i.e non-Compass failing). Management has cut expenses to the bone and got rewarded for doing so. My hours have been cut twice in three years. My employee evaluation for this year is already a month late, again with no explanation. Some office people don't even want to talk to kitchen employees. Management thinks they can cure all problems with slogans and rah-rah pep talks. And we have more company meetings than Dilbert.

Pros

Treat their employee well. Pay the salary on time to their employee. As i am working at one of the chain of compass group, so i don't have much to say about compass group.

Cons

Did not find much cons accept that the pay is considerable less to the amount of work employee do and also benefits is not appropriate.

Pros

Location ( Although the company can't be responsible for that, the client owns the premises not the contractor)

Cons

Poor work-life balance, workplace is full of gossipers and grasses, staff are expected to work over-time for lieu (like a day off will pay the bills). Management treat staff as a cost and not a human being. A lot of the employees are very thick, lacking in common sense, logic and reason. Double standards, If you get on well with the manager you pretty much get what you want, 2 people can do the same offense on separate occasions but only one will get disciplined. Managers threaten retribution but fail and even refuse to provide or show the company documentation to warrant this. Management find it amusing to talk to staff rudely and even try to justify this because they are management!
