Co-workers were excellent, helpful, and generally friendly. Got work done quickly.

I enjoyed working with my co-workers. The best part of this job for me was that I was able to work with children as this is what I have always wanted to do.

Taught me key communication skills and excellent customer service and waitressing skills.

working here depends on the time you started if you started lunch time you would strate in cooking on the target.
if you started in the moring you had get all ingrdients for the day and then prep it all equipment switched and everything you that afternoon ready to go for for and breakfast.

I have learned about great customer service skills and to gather more speed when work alone at nights. The hardest thing about the job is making new products e.g. salads, sandwiches, fruit pots and ect.. when we have no new supplies.

Compass Group provides a fun, fast-paced working enviroment at Elland Road Stadium.
Behind the bar skills in serving food and drinks, working the cash register and dealing with roudy customers on a busy match day can be learned on the job and after a few games can be done by anyone with a positive working attitude.
However, the equipment made for pouring – more... pints, especially the 6-pint MDUs break almost every match and require a skilled engineer to come and fix them. This means that unnecessary heavy queues are formed, so being able to calm customers has to become a skill, or else heavy abuse can come your way (especially if Leeds United are performing poorly)
The staff, especially the supervisors, are extremely enthusiastic and motivate the staff whole-heartedly and make sure the operations run as smoothly as they can.
Most importantly, everyone who works for Compass Group is light-hearted and like minded and it is easy to have fun behind the bar during quiet times. Also, a little competition between the cashiers provides a lot of fun during busy periods. – less

Whilst at compass i was introduced to on line ordering, i was used the company "The Source" to complie the weeks menus ,which then provide you with your shopping list.

I throughly enjoyed meeting new people and getting back into employment. I personally developed new skills aswell within the job

My typical day at work consists of serving customers, tea, coffee and hot chocolate, operating the till, making sure the shop is clean and tidy at all times, replenishing of stock and cashing up at the end of the day. I have learned alot about coffee, stock control, how to increase sales and work out what sells and what doesn't. Management wise I am – more... responsible for stock, making sure the till adds up at the end of everyday, the opening and closing of the store and making sure customers always leave happy. I get on great with all of my co-workers and work with them as required to get the job done. The hardest part of the job is not being able to get the stock that myself and the customers want, I don't get a break in the 9 hours I am there, my new boss has cut all are hours, they made me change the colour of my hair!! The best part of my job is that I get to deal with customers on a face to face basis which is what I love and seeing them go away happy. – less
