Pros

Hands down the schedule, especially when compared to restaurants.

Cons

The crazy amount of "paperwork" and tracking that's done. I get that this is a large company and at some units there is enough people to assign all the different tasks too, but I'm a small chef/manager unit and at times it seems that I'm having to spend too much time at my desk instead of taking care of clients. Most of the time I'm able to manage my time so as to pull it off, but I can only imagine how bad it could get if I didn't do that.

Pros

Autonomy, trust, not being tied to a desk, and encouragement to bring your authentic self to work are among the highlights. However, as a contractor, this may vary from account/site to site. Also, annual raises awarded, despite what the client schedule for increases looks like. A huge network of subsidiary companies

Cons

My current client site is one of the higher paying in my region, which is a good problem to have for some time, but leaves little room to grow financially. Also, growth rarely if ever happens staying in the same account, so financial/role growth will rest mostly upon pursuing other opportunities at different Compass accounts.
