Pros

I guess you can say they will give you a lot of hours, but then again u cant really say that cause they will cut your hour at will. and they really dont care how hard you work , the management really doesnt care, and they upper management doesnt care

Cons

Low pay, they take advantage of some workers giving less pay to some. They have horrible management skills, when i was working there for the whole year we were understaffed, its not that there isnt enough people to be working, is that they over scheduled to begin with, brought in too many command labour, and over spend on that part. They tricked a student into writing a false letter about two of my supervisors that they were racist, when in fact the supervisors are practically best friends with all of us, of any race. Worst part is the human resource person from sodexo came and are basically best friends with the management so basically ignored all complaints agaisnt them. They dont order enough food supply and so we can never cook whatever they placed on the menu. we are understaffed and over worked . They obviously have no clue what they are doing and they obviously dont care. I really hope That NO ONE ever works for this horrible horrible company that could be so devious and UNDERAPPRECIATE their wonderful hard working staff.Corruption is so obvious, they really dont care about the food they are serving

Pros

This company does a great job of hiring from within. I have personally advanced and I have watched peers advance.

Cons

When you are being promoted within the company, there is a percentage wage cap per level of advancement. This means a stranger off the street could potentially make more than you do, even though they hadn't worked with the company before.

Pros

Sodexo has a great culture of learning and progress. They promote from within and are always offering stretch assignments to help employees develop skills. Excellent work life balance, very family first atmosphere

Cons

The pay is on the low side, especially for such a large corporation. Promotion increases are capped, so a promoted employee usually gets less than anot applicant off the street.
