Pros

The pay and benefits are fairly decent for a food service company. My bosses treat me well, and are good about giving me time off. Typically when I need something that's necessary to do my job my managers are quick to respond. And the vast majority of the employees (managment and otherwise) are pretty easy to work with.

Cons

We are pretty overworked. It is not atypical on any given day for one person to do the work of three. There is very little opportunity for advancement, so I'm quite sure I do not have a long-term future at this company. Also, I'm embarassed about a lot of the food we serve because it is very unhealty, which is a characteristic of most large food service companies not just Sodexo. But, it is unsettling nonetheless.

Pros

My direct coworkers and other onsite employees are amazing and some of the nicest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. The day to day responsibilities are enjoyable to work on most days. Company phone provided for work communications during work hours (you don’t have to take them home with you) Free meals on shifts worked (with restrictions) “Set schedule”

Cons

Work life balance is not great. You hire on for one position or schedule and then end up being required to perform job duties that are outside of your description on top of your daily responsibilities. Wages are really low. Unfair distribution of allotted overtime hours. Benefits are not good either. Insurance is really expensive for not great coverage. Maternity leave is only 6 weeks and only 60% of your pay covered by short term disability (that you pay for out of pocket until 2 years of service)
