Pros

They provide decent benefits, but that's about it.

Cons

Management has been trying to fix the creative team for 5 years and has been extremely unsuccessful due to their poor management. No one listens to employee concerns for development. They only pretend to listen. You need to be wise in the politics game to get anywhere and the Director will make sure that you don't get anything but headaches if you don't suck-up to her. Don't be fooled by soft spoken words from superiors, because they will only use and dispose of you when they don't need you anymore. Thus, they have lay-off very talented experienced people who have been loyal to Sodexo for years. Their is no work/life balance at all. Good luck if you want to have a life out side work or if you have kids.

Pros

Large global company with options in a wide range of industries. Foster growth and learning for those who seek it.

Cons

Contract services provides a risk of loosing employment when the contract ends and accounts close. The company does not assign you to a new location, you must apply for other positions if they are available.

I appreciate your feedback and your many years of service at Sodexo! It's great to read all of the positive aspects you've found at the company so far. To address the contract services piece, there is always a chance that a contract might end. However, our team of in-house recruiters are always happy to connect with anyone in that situation and try to help them identify other opportunities nearby that might be a fit. Great points, so thank you again for sharing.

Hello there- I wanted to quickly address your comments about harassment and discussing of personal matters with others on staff. This is not acceptable, and if you have not already, I encourage you to reach out to the Sodexo Office of Employment Rights for guidance.
