Pros

Many opportunities to learn structured systems. The support at the component level was very good; although this may not be the case at other components. Because the company is so large the industry networking is fantastic. For those willing to go over and beyond their regular responsibilities there are numerous champion positions that get you involved in the regional leadership.

Cons

They are a contract service company - so if the contract is not renewed you can loose your job. Also, if at a fee based location the client can eliminate ARAMARK positions at will. ARAMARK does not offer alternative employment within the company when these situations arise.

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.
