      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -The pay was decent -Great learning experience for a young professional -Work with Great People

      Cons

      -Corporate pressures you to hit unrealistic metrics -Sales and service team engage in unethical behavior due to this relentless pressure -Customer service is preached, only to learn that at AUS there is no such thing as customer service -Price increases as big as 40% passed to customers -Always understaffed -Trucks and building maintenance is poor -Production shortages (up to 30%) -60-70 hour work weeks -Always doing someone else's job -Upper management fosters a toxic environment, from the VP down -Everyone gets written up. ALWAYS. Employees are constantly threatened, causing unnecessary tension. -Management is constantly pinned against Route reps (Who are union) -You will get a car allowance, it is not worth it. You may want to buy a Prius. -Quality of linen and uniforms that Aramark provides is poor -You will be expected to sell adjacencies to your current customers... who hate Aramark, it is nearly impossible unless you resign them with large price deviation and adjacency built in. -The company worships "Yes Men," independent thinking is shunned upon

      High Turnover

      Catering sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Can be a fun working environment because of your co workers.

      Cons

      Work hard and long hours. Opportunity for advancement is rare, unless they are in a pickle because of high turnover. Use you when they need you, but keep their options open. You grow the company and sales, but it’s not reflected in your compensation. Often they blame it on the ‘performance of the company’ being lower, even though you helped grow your venue from the previous year. Many times upper management gets their bonuses while they are lowering or eliminating the bonuses or annual ‘raises’ of the mid-level employees.
