Pros

My kitchen team are the only redeeming piece of this experience. I thoroughly enjoy working with so many different personalities with varying levels of skill and creativity. Weekends and evenings off are a rarity in this industry and are the only other piece that have kept me in this role for this long.

Cons

Where do I begin? It was disturbing to discover that I am the only chef in my district running a clean inventory. The bottom line is all that seems to matter to this company, that being said they don't appear to care how you arrive there. The HR issues that have arisen have been ignored, even after an investigation into upper management at the unit level with a handful of first-hand experiences and testimonies. Hourly employees are discouraged and fearful due to the retaliation occurring. Cooks that have been with the company for upwards of 6 years are losing faith and leaving. It's incredibly sad to witness and even more disturbing to know that I cannot do anything to prevent it.

Pros

preparing the meals was the only good part.

Cons

Management is not very professional and will run your life force dry. They will overwork you by adding additional work and expecting you to complete the impossible. Management does not like to hire and will over work their current employees to stress and burnout. There is no time for rest, only fast paced continuous work. You get one thirty minute meal break that consists of bland breakfast after only working 2.5 hrs. You're not allowed to eat the lunch you prepared. There is zero respect for your life outside of work. To Eurest/Compass you are only a performing monkey. Run while you can.
