Pros

I received some excellent training while I was with Compass They have an excellent discount program with other companies

Cons

I have always been highly driven and accomplish much in the course of my work day. This corporation is thriving, and yet their pay is low for the unbelievable amount of work expected each day. My General Manager worked at least 60 hours a week, most of it office work and nothing to do with the actual operation.

Pros

-Flexible scheduling -Great part-time job I'm a college student and the job is everything I need right now. Pretty good pay during catering events, like banquets.

Cons

-Not much room to grow -Direct leaders not always easy to deal with -Atmosphere can get mundane and tasks can get monotonous -Depending on what event you work, your pay may change because tips are factored in (though rarely received)
