Great company that takes care of its employees

Limited room for advancement in some regions; reducing corporate staff has dramatically increased demands on operations staff....unfairly balanced. Not enough person to person...all training is on line

I appreciate you taking the time to share a review. I'm happy you've had a good 10+ years with Sodexo and hope you will find satisfaction for many more years to come. In regards to your feedback about advancement, every unit / region is different. If you're struggling with this, I encourage you to contact your HR Director to discuss career goals and best ways to prepare for when an opening in your area becomes available, as internal promotion and advancement are a big part of our culture. Please feel free to reach out via the Sodexo USA Careers group on LinkedIn if you have further questions.

Pros

Great opportunities for advancement When they have an asset, they retain that asset.

Cons

Benefits need work. Used to be good before Healthcare "reform", so it may not be their fault. Give you an abundance of vacation time but never an opportunity (at least at my level) to take it.
