Pros

Free food and in my unit you have quite a few moments doing nothing.

Cons

The head chef is a very difficult person. The manager doesn’t have an active voice and you most learn watching them, they will not teach you

Pros

Compare with small business pays always on time if manager did submitted correct timesheet.

Cons

Original Claim vs. Personal Experience While Compass advertises “Career development opportunities – Compass is committed to progression and helping you take the next step in your career,” my personal experience has been quite different. In reality, I’ve found that career growth is not genuinely supported. Employees are generally expected to stick strictly to the roles they were hired for, with little encouragement or opportunity to explore other paths. Only a very small percentage perhaps 1–2% seem to advance, Despite requesting constructive feedback and training for other positions, these requests were never acknowledged or acted upon. If career development were truly offered fairly, such support would be accessible to all, not just a select few.
