Pros

Honestly the only reason I stayed as long as I did was because of my co-workers and the location of this sodexo.

Cons

Terrible management and HR representatives. During my time at the Fiserv Alpharetta location our manager Tiauna was very under qualified for her role. We went through 3 executive chef (who were also under qualified) within a year and many in and out employees. Many days employees were mistreated and under valued. There were also many customer complaints towards management which is probably why they lost that account.

Pros

Quality of life is good especially if you are use to the restaurant industry. Benefits are great except for health insurance which is pricey. Lots of freedom to develop your own systems.

Cons

Very disorganized and disjointed. Area managers are clueless and uninvolved. Woke, liberal, DEI, drag shows on your desktop. Value diversity more than competency. Zero training. You train yourself. Pay is low until you threaten to quit. Contract management you could lose your contract at any time.
