Pros

Compass Group is a parent company of many other food-service related companies. Options for new jobs are available through the US and in other countries.

Cons

Pay is painfully low in the St. Louis market. I've received a $1k "merit increase" each year...I'm moving backwards.

Pros

Beware, period. There may appear to be pros but it is only a matter of time until they become hostile towards you and they are not afraid of breaking law. Dealing with them for the past 2 years, it became painfully aware they are accustomed to telling the IRS how the laws are interpreted and if they do not get their way they do not hesitate to bribe government employees to get their way.

Cons

Corporate behaves like spoiled, petulant children with superiority complexes. The HR is located in Charlotte NC and those working there are unashamed when showing how appalling racist and bigoted they are. Just attempting to have a simple and singular question answered on MLK, Jr's birthday and the HR employees show their true colors by claiming they have no idea what yhe Civil Rights Act is nor how it applies to their profession in HR.
