      One ARAMARK Employee: Never afraid to speak his mind.

      Pros

      I like the opportunities that the company has given me over the ten years I've been with ARAMARK. Quite a bit has to do with my drive and skill set, but there is also some to do with the leadership that I've had, and the mentoring role that they've played over the years. I've also been afforded the opportunity to travel with ARAMARK, but then again, that is a derivitive of the performance and drive that I've shown.

      Cons

      Like any job I've been in, being in one location for too long tends to get a bit boring. I am a person that likes to have changing roles on a pretty frequent basis. And as it is with any large corporation, some of the processes and politics within the company get rather tiresome.

      Pros

      great schedule, opportunities around the country and world, usually has stability, wide range of benefits, oportunities to advance and develop skills, management support at many levels

      Cons

      focus is not always on taking care of the customer, my understanding from business school is the number one goal of any corporation is the continued life of that corporation, we need to remember that while we are a for profit business our clients and customers are not the enemy, at times too focused on the numbers instead of operations, budgets can be too optimistic, don't always take care of the staff that takes care of us, during slow times cut service to make bottom line

      Pros

      ARAMARK is a company that invests in it's people. Their career management process is excellent and opportunities exist and are afforded to individuals who show high potential. Additionally, employee development is a main focus throughout the year. Employees are discussed with senior management on a quarterly basis through a succession planning process. Additionally, it is a company that definitely values work/life balance. They afford the opportunity to work at home when necessary. They understand familial obligations supercede late night meetings or events. My overall experience has been spectacular in the two years in which I've worked there. Just recently my region was eliminated. The higher management thought enough of my performance that they created a position for me for the upcoming year until another postion could be found.

      Cons

      Large company. Some downsizing decisions that have recently been made have been understood but unfortunate.
