Pros

Compensation is good. Opportunity exists for those who can produce.

Cons

After committing a good portion of my life (over 19 year) to this company, I was sad to watch it decline into a place where reoganizations eveyr 2 years were expected, along with lots of turnover at the regional leadership level. I was told by a senior leader that I was not focusing on making chaings in my region because I didn't fire anyone at the management level. It seems to me the company is making moves with people to conserve costs and go young in the field, saving the largest salaries and positions for the coporate level. The thought leaders of the company left when the company went public, cashing in on their stock options. The gap of talent left was as wide as the Grand Canyon, filled with people who are over their head and continue to fail, firing those around them to buy more time until their severance pakcage is delivered.

Pros

Good benefits, compantv provided vehicles and expenses. Financially stable so bankruptcy should not be an issue. Base salary + bonus so your income is fairly predictable

Cons

Very unstable job security. Managers are not held in high esteem for their knowledge and professionalism by Senior Managenent. Comment made at shareholder meeting by former Aramark CEO- "I never said we were a nice company, just a good company."
