Executive Level Micromanagement.

Pros

Very intelligent GM's. Decent pay. Car allowance for managers and sales professionals is top notch. A lot of great people to work with.

Cons

Executive level micromanagement. GM's and DM's are overworked and underpaid. Very little home work life balance with high expectations. Bonuses are made hard to obtain but seem very enticing at first. Seems to be a lot of "guessing" at SOP's from people who haven't spent time in the field or are at least out of touch with current market. And last but certainly not least, price increases. Very competitive market and price increases cause too much lost business (which means no bonus). Price increases may be great for company growth, but growth is irrelevant if you lose the business. Contracts seem to lose validity.

Pros

Aramark is a large company, so you have many options to grow and move around if you don't immediately love the job for which you're hired. They provide good benefits and an excellent work environment. I never had a manager I didn't like in my 21 years.

Cons

Their corporate offices are in Philadelphia. I worked in one of the regional offices and felt that they were throwing out talented people for less-gifted individuals who were located at Corporate.

Upper management is a JOKE

Pros

If you're an alcoholic, or if you like to sleep your way to the top, this is the perfect place for you.

Cons

Management is horrible and will pull every little trick they can to screw you over. If you believe employees deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, then don't work here. Unless you are a brown noser or you like to get wasted with upper management, you don't stand a chance.
