      Large organization that does not believe in mentoring or leadership...just a number.

      Pros

      Employee uniforms are professional and neat in appearance.

      Cons

      Lack of leadership, mentoring, caring. Organization is not personable and does not provide a connection for all employees, regardless of title. Client Executives continuously try and upsell contract clients which creates tension, dissatisfaction, and lack of trust in the organization.

      Pros

      Very competitive salaries within the Administrative staff. With having offices in 88 countries, they are a very diverse company and take pride in their diversity and inclusion

      Cons

      Advancement does not happen often if you are not already senior management, despite their claims of transparency, they are not very forthcoming when it comes to disclosing what is being done to grow the business. The smaller segments do not have much of a "voice" and their suggestions are not taken seriously

      It all depends on your contract....

      Pros

      Being an account manager or director gives you a lot of leeway in managing your account. Due to the nature of the business, I had a lot of independence from the higher-ups at Sodexo, where I would see my GM or DM once a month at most. Also, I really liked Sodexo back-office support. Utilize them if you need it, and they can provide a lot help to get you started. For example, reaching out to your HR department, and they can help you with the hiring. This goes for OH&S, IT, Payroll, Finance folks as well.

      Cons

      Your experience will vary greatly depending on the client and contract. I started in the Healthcare division and it was miserable because it was a terrible contract in an intense hospital environment. Jumping to another division, I suddenly felt like my work-life balance hit a nice equilibrium. As the account manager/director, you are squeezed between the client expectations, Sodexo senior management, and labor unions (if applicable). You have to answer to a lot of stakeholders! Also, your career is based on the life of the contract, which is the nature of the business that Sodexo is in. I think the people who are at Sodexo for the longest tends to work on the corporate office, not at the account level.
