Pros

Great site - Some nice people working here.

Cons

No scope for career progression, favoritism, management self promote while leaving people lower down with little recognition or ways to move up to more senior roles. Constant cuts to budgets and staff while raising workloads without pay rises or issuing bonuses.

Hello there- I'm really sorry to hear about the situation you're describing here. While our managers are trained in leadership and should be supportive in the advancement of their employees, it is also up to individual employees to be proactive in their growth. I encourage you to contact HR to discuss your goals and competencies to determine ways to develop professionally and potential roles that may be a fit for you. We do offer ongoing training and have a large number of frontline and hourly employees who have worked their way up to management and beyond, so I hope you're able to continue on and find additional opportunities with us. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for your feedback and your service at Sodexo. I'm sorry to hear you weren't finding as much career growth recently. While we do offer a wide array of opportunities, sometimes it may be necessary to consider another unit nearby for growth, as it depends on the size of the account, the services we offer there, etc. if higher level roles will continue to open at that specific location. If you're ever interested in returning, I encourage you to keep in touch by joining our alumni community Sodexo Reconnexions. Thanks again for sharing with us.
