Pros

Companies have growing pains, and Compass is no different. What differentiates us is our self-awareness and authentic desire to improve. How far we've come in the two years since I've been employed is so inspirational. The epitome of an open door culture, my voice is always heard. When I see an area of improvement, I speak up, offer suggestions for a solution and help with forward action where possible. I'm constantly learning and am very proud to be a part of a culture that offers tremendous and equal opportunities to everyone no matter title or background.

Cons

We're growing and with that there's a lot to be done = long hours at times. However, great work is rewarded and always appreciated at Compass. Loving what you do also helps :)
