Pros

Great people, supportive culture with lots of focus on teamwork and putting processes in place to optimize everything from onboarding to workflow. The positive culture and team mentality at Compass start at the top, where it's obvious that management is passionate about advertising, but also cares about people. The integrity of management - especially the president - is on display when what's done is always what is right for the client and the team, both of whom are viewed as people first, and employees/potential revenue second. People - both costumers and employees - matter here. As a bonus, the waterfront view from the office in Orange Beach is pretty darn dreamy.

Cons

Typical cons of working in marketing - ever changing workflow, quick turnaround needed, customer service issues, etc. Luckily, processes are in place at Compass to handle all of this.

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.
