Pros

Great networking, pay and bonus... Insurance is alright and bery fair and etical company- You will not believe how hard the company works to gain your trust,,, Communication is top notch and the review is very fair...

Cons

All depends on the contract at your location- Out of unit positions need to turn over due to lack of interest in making every day a better day for those in units... All divisions work in silos and do not play nice... Overall watch your step and work hard you will be fine...

Pros

Pay is acceptable Company over all is progressive with technology, marketing, and training for managers not for hourly staff.

Cons

Paperwork expected is ridiculous considering the time you are supposed to be connecting with clients /customers and hourly workers. New projects, audits are handed down 10-15x yearly by Sodexo and 8-20x yearly by your client. Stay on top of it all (with daily service )and a smile or your out of the club.

Sodexo's Talent Management Issues

Pros

Sodexo is a large global company. As a result, employees get global exposure. Sodexo is also one of the top three companies in its industry, food service. So this gives you some leverage when you decide to look for other opportunities elsewhere.

Cons

Professional growth in this company is typoically based on an "old boys network." The upper level management at this company typically do not have the necessary educational background and diverse professional skill for their positions. At this company you can find a director or VP in the corporate level without a degree or the required experience for his position. Promotions are very unclear and it's based on the old boys network mentioned earlier.
