They preach "Work Life Balance" but if you want to keep your job.... There is no such existence !!!!! - General Manager Sodexo Employee Review

Pros

A steady pay check at best; Financial pressures through the ACE initiative are nearly impossible to achieve. Most accounts have a mandatory contract re-bids, which is an awful experience to live through even of you are a high performer with excellent reviews.

Cons

Stress and long hours are a drastic understatement! Like every other large company; they preach "the value of employees" and their " work life balance" but really are only concerned about the budget and will require endless hours for weeks on end... or ax a manager to save a dollar at a moments notice. In-Unit HR is known for practicing sketchy practices to eliminate "unpopular" employees, or manager who don't fit in with the management regime. Upper management heavily micro-manages, which prevents productivity and actually eliminates the effectiveness of the Middle management team completely.
