Pros

Company is in different sectors of the food and facilities industry. Ability to work in many different settings and even if different lines of business if that interests you.

Cons

Horrible upper management. Terrible systems and processes. I worked in the school division and loved it the first two years. They do not value their associates from management down to hourly associates, and do not give you the tools to succeed. After over 5 years of employment and several promotions, I could not wait to get out. I know many others who felt the same way and got out too.

Pros

Misery loves company. At least you'll have something in common with your coworkers.

Cons

Incompetent management. Nepotism. Willfully ignorant. Layers and layers of management and none of them know what their staff does. Imagine 100 people in 100 places all working on a jigsaw puzzle and everybody has different pieces, management has the corner pieces but they won't share them with anyone and nobody has the picture on the box. That's what working at Aramark is like.
