Pros

Compass is a very stable business in terms of market share and revenue. Has a good reputation in the industry and offers associates a supportive and flexible work environment.

Cons

For those of us in venue support roles there appears to be an urgency to gain market share at the expense of taking measured, wise decisions. Emphasis seems to be on just closing the business and working through the functional details later.
