Busser/FoodRunner - Busser/Food Runner Compass Group USA Employee Review

Pros

Flexible hours to accommodate the student schedule. Slightly above minimum wage. Food running is easy, but be prepared to clean the restaurant or wash the dishes if the restaurant isn't as busy or understaffed on that particular day.

Cons

You sign up as a food runner, but they have you do a ton of not so great jobs. Taking out the trash is fine if you can stomach it, because it's easy and actually kind of relaxing, as is slicing potatoes for the fries. Cleaning the restaurant is not fun, but usually they mostly make you check bathrooms or wipe down tables unless they are worked up about needing to make the place extra presentable. Washing dishes is not enjoyable at all, and quite stressful. Be prepared to do this task a lot as a food runner.

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.
