Aramark reviews

Micromanagement, period. Track phone calls, visits, what was discussed on a weekly basis (heavily). Then re-visit your activity (even if you perform excellent) on a quarterly review where you are questioned about every single thing you did during that period by several people, horrible experience. I saw an excellent sales guy get terminated because he was fed up with the "tribunal" as it is referred to, and said "I'm done being interrogated. Are we finished?" If you don't like the idea of a verbal beating in front of your peers 4 times a year, this isn't the job for you. Also, poor training, little work in the field with other reps before they set you loose. Uniform rental is a super competitive business, and Aramark doesn't have the resources Cintas does. And despite what they say, Aramark is NOT better than Cintas. Run! Even if you're on unemployment, stick it out--you don't want to sell for Aramark. Worst sales experience in 20 years of successful selling for other big companies. Both my direct supervisor and her supervisor lied to me about many things during the interview process. If you decide to work for this company, get every single thing in writing UP FRONT before you accept--don't take vague answers, or you'll end up regretting it months later.

Supervisors believing in micromanagement and you can't hardly do your work without the on top of you. Management plays favorites. Poor starting pay, no bonuses. No room for advancement.
