Pros

It's great to work there to get started with your career post-university, and if you are able to work confidently remotely, then it certainly can be an ideal working situation. If you find that you are capable of writing without breaks for long hours, that is also a pro for a particular person.

Cons

You will miss having free time and will miss seeing other human beings due to catching up on all the work that you cannot necessarily complete in the work day. You will have to log anything you do almost every minute of every day. Management style leaves something to be desired fairly regularly, as it felt like I was on my own with my own qualms and issues that the job brings.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback and for the contribution you made during your time at Compass Continuing Healthcare. We’re pleased to hear that you found the role valuable as a starting point post-university and that remote working can provide an ideal setup for those who thrive in that environment. Supporting early-career professionals and providing meaningful responsibility is something we are proud of, and many of our team have progressed significantly from entry-level roles. That said, we are sorry to read about your experience regarding workload, work-life balance, and management support. Our intention is not for colleagues to feel they must regularly work beyond their hours or sacrifice personal time to keep up. The nature of CHC work can be demanding, but it should always be sustainable. We continually review caseload allocation and time-recording processes to ensure they are proportionate and supportive rather than burdensome. We are particularly concerned to hear that you felt alone with the challenges the role can bring. No one should feel unsupported. Developing managers who are approachable, patient, and proactive in advocating for their teams is a key focus for us, and feedback like yours highlights how important that is. We genuinely value reflections such as yours. They help us assess where processes, communication, and leadership development can improve — especially in a remote-first environment where connection requires more intentional effort. Thank you again for your honesty, and we wish you every success in your continued career.

Thanks for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. It’s great to hear that the purpose of the organisation and the commitment of people across the team are coming through so strongly in your experience. The transformation work underway is complex, and it’s encouraging to know that you see opportunities to shape process improvements and bring more structure as things evolve. We also appreciate your honest reflections on governance and process maturity. As you’ve highlighted, strengthening ownership, clarity of priorities, and governance is an important part of improving delivery momentum and reducing rework. It’s particularly valuable that you’re actively contributing to this in your role. Feedback like this helps us continue moving in the right direction, so thank you again for sharing your perspective and for the impact you’re making to the business
