Worst company on the planet!

Pros

Interaction with students, really nice and professional coworkers who do their best to fulfill their duties. Meeting new people, since the turnover is outrageous.

Cons

Overworked, impossible expectations, negative work environment. Wave after wave of management changes, each one worse than the last. Constantly threatened. HR does nothing to change the horrid treatment of workers, and retaliation by management is common. Management is not held accountable, everything is blamed on workers.

I'm very sorry to hear about this situation you have described. While it sounds like you're no longer an employee, I do want to let others know that if there are ever threats or retaliation, etc. I encourage you to reach out to the Sodexo Office of Employment Rights for further guidance, as this behavior is not condoned. Thank you for sharing this feedback.
