Business Outlook

Pros

With Sodexo I am afforded a great quality of life, I am well compensated for what I do and feel good about it.

Cons

The career growth is not what I expected. No matter what position becomes available there is someone selected for the position before the position is even posted. Everyone will deny this but not only have I seen it in my own account but I have heard about it in others.

Business Outlook

Pros

The Insurance package. VAcation time, when you get it. The friendship you develop with other workers.

Cons

No communcation between upper mangerment and workers. Haven't had a review in sometime. Managers has something against women in the workplace. Managers try to turn workers like them, cold-heart , don't care who they run over. No matter how sick you are, they (managers) believes you should still go to work. Unfair to workers that managers get bigger salaries and bonus for less work, and the workers gets nickles and dimes raises for their hard, endless work they do to make the company look good. Workers Morale has hit rock bottom.

Business Outlook

Pros

The opportunity to work independently. Believe me, you will be on your own spending the majority of your time putting out fires and defending your company from dissatisfied clients.

Cons

A company that places an emphasis on completing tasks that are internal rather than external. In other words, you will spend your time satisfying the need of the marketing department, sales department, finance department etc. etc. before addressing the needs of your clients. As a district manager, you will have 1 full time job answering to "Sodexo" and another full time job taking care of your client's needs.
