Pros

Advancement chances. Ability to relocate the family. I find that the pay for performance is available, however, you need to meet so many different standards (marketing, safety, client retention etc.) that it makes it nearly impossible to recieve the bonus potential.

Cons

Relocation sometimes trumps your personal needs... Compensation was weak, especially for people of color and/or foreign nationals. The company is still run by the good ole boys, even after the discrimination lawsuits. Sodexo needs to value the diversity of its staff and understand that upward mobility needs to be tied into performance and not just a membership at the golf club.

Pros

My direct coworkers and other onsite employees are amazing and some of the nicest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. The day to day responsibilities are enjoyable to work on most days. Company phone provided for work communications during work hours (you don’t have to take them home with you) Free meals on shifts worked (with restrictions) “Set schedule”

Cons

Work life balance is not great. You hire on for one position or schedule and then end up being required to perform job duties that are outside of your description on top of your daily responsibilities. Wages are really low. Unfair distribution of allotted overtime hours. Benefits are not good either. Insurance is really expensive for not great coverage. Maternity leave is only 6 weeks and only 60% of your pay covered by short term disability (that you pay for out of pocket until 2 years of service)
