Pros

Pays well for unskilled labor. Provides pay that is much better than similar jobs. Offers very good employment opportunities for students or those looking for part time work. Most people you will encounter within the company are very friendly.

Cons

Large amount of politics within Union employees. Very little recognition of strong performance nor reprimand for poor performance.

Pros

In this economy, ARAMARK is growing. There are career opportunities if you have a fair senior manager. Overall, the pay is fair and the benefits seem fair.

Cons

Senior management make decisions based on a spreadsheet and not with contact with accounts. You will hear things like: "I need this report on the past 11 months by 3:00pm today (at noon)" or there must be ZERO Overtime for hourly and not accounting for actual business climate.

Pros

It's a stable company. I usually feel like I can manage my staff the way I want to manage them and run my business as I see fit, but that is slowly diminishing.

Cons

I don't think upper management's communication with the field is sufficient.
