Pros

I found events at other universities with whom we partnered to be very professional, and found an extremely cordial staff to work with. I worked in special events for one of the graduate schools, and found my clients to be very engaging, and the work interesting and enjoyable.

Cons

I had trouble with my benefits, hiring package, and numerous errors in payroll, all of which were resolved by the company. However, as this happened frequently, I found this a bit bothersome. The campus director was very unpleasant to work for, and was not well regarded by the other directors who worked for her. It was not a very pleasant atmosphere. I didn't feel like I worked for very honest people--however, I think this was an issue at this particular institution.

Pros

Decent starting salary, company car is a big plus. This is not a boring job, if you are into crisis management this is the position for you.

Cons

DM's have relatively little authority, but very high responsibility. They are the buffer between corporate, the service department, and the customer. Amid all of that, they are expected to meet sales quotas.

Pros

Safety is a top priority. We practice it every day, and it makes the job less stress full. Corporate budget is adequate so that we can always fix something, and not just that, usually upgrade so it won't happen again. As a former construction worker, my family and I much prefer my ARAMARK career.

Cons

I still work outside/ warehouse environment. South Alabama summers are the worst, and feel like they are already here in April.
