We strive to provide a positive workplace culture and take your input seriously when shaping company policy. We regularly review our full compensation and benefit package against similar companies locally and regionally in our industry. We encourage those who feel they aren't being fairly compensated to have a discussion with their manager. We continue to enhance our benefits offerings. In 2023 we added two additional paid holidays, increased the employers contribution to the health and dental plans by 15 % and offered a hybrid work week to the Orange Beach, AL staff. We do offer a 401k plan and historically, although we fall below the size required by FMLA, we have offered maternity leave to our employees by keeping their position open until they return to work either part time or full time.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We are encouraged by your positive feedback. We have struggled to grow our team as fast as we have grown our customer base. Ideally we would have the personnel in place to allow us to be a leader in system and process improvement. Once we are able to grow our team, the selection for clients and room for advancement should follow.

Pros

Most employees are nice, frustrating to work with at times - but very great people across the board.

Cons

With a few exceptions, when management gets involved (which is constantly) - it really slows down any traction that usually runs at a snail's pace to begin with. Culture/ values are lauded as priority, but the culture itself is pretty canned. Making a great office environment being such a high talking point seems hypocritical when wages don't make employees feel valued. Some folks in the office can be super passive-aggressive.

We are sorry to hear about your experience at Compass Media. We value all of our current and former employees’ feedback. We had a management change in 2016, and Dustin has since taken the helm. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and we apologize that it wasn't responded to sooner.
