Pros

Great place to gain experience in management, budgeting, HR, and inventory management. One can choose to work in any of the Lines of Business that the company has. Opportunities are endless for a choice in job type and as far as location. Somone could work in practically any State or almost any country that they choose. ARAMARK is a global company.

Cons

All mid-level management is expendable. Sometimes it would seem that if one is not apart of a certain group then one could be just another employee. ARAMARK could do a better job at giving its managers training opportunities that could lead to higher career opportunities. It seems as if the company does not pay managers what they are worth, the company tries to get as low as they can with salaries so as to beef up the bottom line.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
