Aramark likes to present themselves as a company for self starters and people who can take initiative as a cover for their lack of communication. I nearly missed out on my benefits first year because my manager 'fast tracked' my orientation. Anytime I had a concern for aramark I was given a vague answer or nothing at all. There was no room for growth in my position either. Consistently overworked and underpaid. While my peers made 3+ on the hour than me, i was working overtime to prove my worth. Then when I asked for a raise I was met with a write up. After 2.5 years of constantly working to cover areas that I wasn't even directly over. Upon leaving I was told the vacation time I had earned would not be paid out due to a policy that changed in summer of 2023. I was not informed of that upon leaving. In addition, the company I was contracted at reached out much sooner than aramark in regards to why I left and overall cared more. It took aramark over 2 weeks to reach out while I heard from the company i was contracted through the next day. I will never work for this company again and I am grateful for the new place I was hired at.
