      Quality of Life job, but slow for career advancement...

      Food service director

      Pros

      Quality of Life. Coming from restaurants and crazy, ever changing shift schedules, I now work Monday through Friday. I have the ability to leave if something comes up and family is first throughout Aramark. I started Aramark with 26 paid days off per year (10 holidays, 6 personal days, 10 vacation days) and left a major chain restaurant after 10 years with 15 paid vacation days off per year...

      Cons

      It's still the food serive industry and many times you have to get in the trenches and cook, restock items, run catering orders and so on. That's with any small business though...

      Horrible hours but great potential

      District manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      great opportunity for advancement, the company believes in promoting from within. the benefits package is great and can increase your salary by 20,000/year. they also offer a company car with gas card or car stipend.

      Cons

      the hours are unreasonable, even by the hardest working individual's standards. a district manager works 60 hours per week on average. staffing is not centralized and when a market center is understaffed this can really become a problem. managers cannot do their job, run a route, and staff open positions. their should be a stronger HR presence at each market center to help out training is not centralized, and there is disparity between route reps because each was trained differently, although there is a manual to follow. having one centralized training location or requiring all route reps to attend annual training for 1 week at a centralized location would greatly benefit the company

      Good to travel and figure out what your passion is, poor for long term career growth.

      Pros

      You can really move around if you want - there are multiple lines of business (uniforms, education, higher education, business services, sports and entertainment, facilities services and more) in many areas and even countries. You could even work at the Olympics. If you are not sure what your passion is there is a great chance to try out many things.

      Cons

      There is never enough staff or money to do anything well, so your always close to budget and working long hours and working hard. There is a poor work life balance if you don't draw a firm line.
