Pluspunten
To be honest, the only plus side of working for the Compass Group on St Kilda, is that it is based in a World Heritage Site.
Minpunten
- Took me 3 years to receive PPE. - Managers steal from the client, customers and own staff. When reported, you are told to wind your neck in. I hope the managers continue to steal from the company, as I sure as hell won't report it. - Work an illegal shift pattern of 29 days in a row. - Poverty line wages. - No respect either from the company or from the client. - Ridiculous expectations. Cleaners are expected to clean a very large building in part time hours and get nothing but a hard time for doing so, despite often going out of their way and doing more than their contracted hours for no additional pay. - Management is useless. Kilda managers have absolutely no clue. One can't use a computer (and his work is computer based) and the other is constantly asleep. - Daily allowances have been complained about for many years and we still have not received any response from the contract manager. - Fruit and veg received is of very poor quality. There is no quality control on Benbecula before this stock is shipped out. - Client is a bully, and ESS will not stand up for staff against constant bully-boy tactics, instead using their own against staff in order to stay favourable with the client. - Contract manager hired own wife in an important role and hires his children to work all the overtime hours. None of these hours or jobs have ever been advertised. - Think they have full control over your life, even outside of work. One staff member threatened with suspension if they did not attend a disciplinary hearing outside of my working hours (on something they were cleared of). - There is zero health and safety training. Staff work with helicopters and maritime radios with zero training. - There are no opportunities for career advancement unless you're a yes man. Unfortunately, these yes men are the clueless people with no ideas for how to strategically enhance the business and opportunities. - Staff are poorly utilised. People who can't use a computer and have no personal skills are in management, those with some level of intellect are instantly bored by the non-challenging pathetic work they are asked to do without any respect. Everyone is looking for another job. We like to refer to ourselves as third world employees who have done no wrong in life but can't get a break.
