Pros

There are good people in the company and many peers are friendly and helpful. Pay is decent overall but their is room for improvement.

Cons

Aramark is constantly losing great talent/people due to work life balance, constant cost cutting at the expense of current employees, a horrible A2L program that doesn't work in healthcare, CEO is totally disconnected from needs/concerns of employees in the field, and many healthcare accounts at shoestring staffing levels. Pay raises even for promotions suck.

Pros

- Good place to start a management career -Love some of the people I work with -Company paid trips for National Brand Training -Met a lot of important people at the university I work at

Cons

- Zero work life balance... my longest shift was 22 hours one day.. 4am-2am -They don't really care about the staff.. the motto is "do perfect or we'll replace you" - They use scare tactics to motivate people instead of coaching or helping. Every command is complimented with a reminder that you can be written up - There's many more that are smaller and sound petty but they all add up to create a hostile work environment where you are basically encouraged to do your bare minimum because you're so disillusioned with the job.
