Pros

Great for learning from other chefs and using as a step stool

Cons

No official training, they will leave you to sink, poor morale, no more incentives, no more holiday turkeys or pies, constant pay rate freezes, always understaffed, poor health and dental, relying on temps too much, no bonuses, and they ride the grey shaded area of the law regarding anything pertaining to breaks, they have the most paperwork and audits out of all the food service companies, training programs are below standard, they love to underbid like sodexho, which leads to overexpectation from clients and pay freezes

Pros

preparing the meals was the only good part.

Cons

Management is not very professional and will run your life force dry. They will overwork you by adding additional work and expecting you to complete the impossible. Management does not like to hire and will over work their current employees to stress and burnout. There is no time for rest, only fast paced continuous work. You get one thirty minute meal break that consists of bland breakfast after only working 2.5 hrs. You're not allowed to eat the lunch you prepared. There is zero respect for your life outside of work. To Eurest/Compass you are only a performing monkey. Run while you can.
