      Pros

      I have mixed feelings about Sodexo. I worked in two very different environments that were under Sodexo. My first job with them was at a college dining hall part time. I had a great time there, loved the people and work environment. I flourished and did rather well, though at times I wanted to learn more but didn't get the chance to expand my skills. The supervisors were understanding and easy to get along with. The chefs and cooks had a certain amount of autonomy with how to feed the students. We had to use set menus, but we could also think on our feet and improvise depending on the needs of the students.

      Cons

      Pay and benefits for a part time person like me weren't great. My second job with Sodexo was at a hospital in a different part of the country. We were expected to strictly stick to the menus, even if people didn't like them, and it was always understaffed. The supervisors seemed stressed and passed that down to the cooks and food service workers. So I've had a very mixed experience with the company, It seems to vary because of the industry and environment.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As you mention, positions and responsibilities may vary between job environments. Campus and health care are very different in nature, but specific units may also differ slightly from one to the next. It sounds like you've had a good experience overall, and if you feel you'd like to advance or develop your skills, I encourage you to talk to a manager. If you had additional questions or thoughts you'd like to discuss, I invite you to join the Sodexo USA Careers group on LinkedIn for real-time interaction with our talent acquisition team. Thanks again!

      Pros

      There aren't any pros working here, only the fact that I'm blessed to have a job.

      Cons

      Management is unorganized, nasty, disrespectful, hateful, they will pick on you, the turn over rate is horrible, HR is not for you and management will retaliate if you complain on them so your not safe, they DON'T pay you for what your worth, management threatens you if they cant have their way with you.... just not a good company
