Pros

None. A job, if you are a executive, then you are well taken care of.

Cons

Racist company! Refuses to hire people of color to prominent positions! People are very nosy and rude! Hourly people are treated like crap!

Disappointing

Pros

Stable company that is located in 21 countries and has job opportunities spanning multiple industries.

Cons

The company leadership is dreadful. Aramark has excellent branding and puts a great deal of time and effort into purporting an image of a great working environment. But the work experience is disappointing! No work/life balance, overpriced and insubstantial medical, dental, vision benefits, no 401k matching for hourly employees, slow professional growth opportunities, no effort at employee retention (employees are considered a dime a dozen and instantly dispensible). Active culture of employment discrimination based on age, disability, race, and sexual orientation.

Pros

Commission Structor is actually fair compared to what other companies pay out. Turnover is high so if you can stick around for about a year there is opportunity for upward mobility.

Cons

I've thought about this for a while and it all boils down to, the fact that I felt like I was lying. I get like a used car salesman, selling a bag of goods. What I was trained to sell, is not what the service team is able to provide.
