Pros

The people are the best part of working at Aramark. There are so many great people that work for Aramark. I've worked for the company for 3 years and have been in 4 different (progressive) roles within the company and have enjoyed working for/with the people in each of the teams. The development culture of Aramark is amazing. There are so many opportunities for advancement and to change roles into different lines of the business. It's a great place to start and develop a career that allows for you to continue to learn. It offers this advantage which other companies in the area are unable to offer. The benefit package is average. It's better than what my spouse's company offers but not quite as comprehensive as another company I've worked for. The location of Headquarters is ideal for those living in the Philadelphia area. It's convenient from the suburbs of PA and NJ as well as within the city. It's a short drive from the airport as well which makes travelling easier.

Cons

The only con I've seen currently is that the company is in a change phase. It gives a certain level of insecurity for the workforce as it's not always clear what's going to happen next. Things have settled down since the changes have begun but there seems to be a lot of change still to come.

Pros

Good benefits (for now) and decent wages (for now). At least it is a job. The company has multiple locations throughout the world.

Cons

1.Lack of managerial support 2.Long hours 3. Policies always changing 4. Rules apply to only certain individuals 5. The job teaches individuals to lie, cheat, and steal whenever possible, 6. Ethics of an individual must be left at the door 7. Nothing that you accomplish here will ever be good enough 8. Managers always looking at employees for what we did wrong, it is always our fault. We are always wrong.
