Pros

Tons of career opportunity - possibilities to grow with the company are pretty much endless. My particular location allowed for a decent work/life schedule.

Cons

My particular managers were awful - I've heard that the actual company in different locations and different segments is incredible, but mine wasn't great. There was no training program for any new managers. New ideas were laughed at and mocked.

Pros

Opportunity for job growth across a variety of sectors.

Cons

The company operates in divisional silos. For a company this size, it's surprising how antiquated many of the back of house systems are within Aramark.

Pros

It was a source of income. pay was not bad. people that I worked with where decent and could have been a good job

Cons

Many downsides including the fact that the food was just horrible. I could not morally justify serving the food that I was forced to put out and then sell it for the outragious prices. The most important skill required to work for them is knowing how to use a box cutter. I did not last long. I was lured in by the good wage but it didn't feel right to rip people off the way they do. I quit within a couple weeks
