Pros

Well-known company, great discount program, and online training.

Cons

Too much red tape in getting things done, absolutely terrible benefits, salaries are far under the industry standards, people in power have no idea what they're doing as it relates to what goes on at the "Unit Level", hourly employees are paid very low, treated with disrespect and disregard, they have programs like CARES and FOSS that managers and supervisors do not follow, but expect the employees to, they allow unethical, unprofessional, and questionably insane Managers who have caused the company to be put on the News for violations, have caused the company to be sued by employees more than 3 times, and the cause of very high turnover.

The Sodexo Experience

Pros

This job was really good to me while I was in college. It worked around my schedule so that I would never become too busy with school and work. The management experience was really helpful for finding a career. The company really seemed to care about its Student Managers, as we were given quarterly trainings in helpful areas.

Cons

As a part time manager, the full timers tend to overlook some serious problems. The student manager is a liaison between its diverse student employee base and upper management. If there was moral problem with the student staff (university students getting paid minimal wage to work in a dish room), management more often than not ignored my warnings, leading to a drastic turnover rate with our new hires. In the long run, we ran into many problems with always having a very green staff.
