Pros

Management treats the team like whole people, not just employees - collaboration and trust are keystone values. Many team members are parents and as a whole, Compass Media is understanding when it comes to maintaining a work/life balance especially when family-related issues arise. Dustin, the president truly cares about each individual, welcomes creativity, and leads by example. Managers are always willing to help and will take time out of their day to dedicate themselves to helping you if needed. Most everyone is happy to pitch in. The office environment is engaging; monthly lunch-and-learns build camaraderie, in addition to office celebrations and events. We also receive access to two separate gyms free of cost and are encouraged to 'step out' from behind our desks and try new experiences often. The office is also located in a beautiful setting and the views are enjoyable - we sometimes see dolphins out the window!

Cons

If I had to provide a con, it would be the limited PTO for the first year, but there are paid holidays in addition to the PTO, so it isn't a big deal.

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.
