Pros

Very large company with many opportunities throughout the US and the world. There is also a good sense of work/life balance with opportunities to work remotely.

Cons

The company is going through a lot of change right now; which means a lot of restructuring and lay-offs. The culture is very cutthroat and everybody is only out for themselves. Furthermore, there is no objective process for promotions and development leading to a lot of nepotism and favoritism throughout the organization. Additionally, communication is a big weakness at Aramark; the company does not communicate openly and honestly to its employees. For a company claiming to be in the "people business" they often treat employees as a necessary evil instead of a true asset to the business.

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.
