Pros

Good base pay of $42,500. Car allowance of $525 per month. Company phone and laptop. Bonus of $3000 when you complete your training. Aramark is a reputable company though so it looks good on a resume if you can stick it out for a year. They give you about a year to figure out what you're doing and be good at it before they fire you. A good "stepping stone" to get to a better company. I think it has a good work-life balance since I can work from home often.

Cons

Poor management, high turnover rate for all positions. My coworkers have either been there a few months or more than 4 years. The uniform division is the worst division of the company to work for. Outside sales so a lot of driving depending on your territory. We sell work uniforms and floor mats which isn't glamourous. Office is filthy - clutter, dust, bugs and mice. Sales office, service and manufacturing plant all at same location so very small desks, loud and too many people in too small an area. Takes a very long time to make any commission. At least 9-12 months before you make any money on top of the base salary. Would not recommend working here for more than a year.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
