Pros

Opportunities to grow w/the company. There is growth if you are willing to play the game.

Cons

If you are male you can be very successful if you are a women your voice made not be heard. If you are heard you may not be taken seriously.

Pros

If you want to work in food service, it's a large company with lots of different divisions or acquired companies ... so something for everyone. Also some really talented culinarians doing some very interesting things.

Cons

The expectations for managers were for a minimum 50 hours per week, and sixty was closer to average. No overtime of course, and always on call. In some ways, it is just too large a company ... new Payroll, Accounting, Inventory etc systems and new initiatives and programs were constantly being rolled out, without consideration for the individual units' business cycle, needs, challenges, etc. Doubt that Sodexo or Aramark are much different ... to some extent it's the nature of the contract food service industry. You always have to innovate and set the bar higher, your client can always put the account out to bid to get one of the competitors to underbid to get in the door, and the financial rewards, over time, don't seem worth the physical toll it takes on your body and the all-consuming nature of the work (and hours expected).

Pros

If there are any I don't know what they are.

Cons

Management will ask for your opinion but thats all they do is ask. They will NEVER accept any opinion that isn't theirs. Bottom line ALL employees are just a bodies. They don't care about employees only the company.
