Pros

Good job for people with no working experience Good benefits but not many can afford them

Cons

Very low pay No structure or leadership No advancement Pay to park No perks No encouragement Constant focus on negatives Weak management team Management has supervisors do their job w/o pay increases Management staff receives high bonuses and pay and everyone else gets nothing No holiday gatherings or meals No support to move up in company There is no confidentiality in HR or management staff Management works together and openly looks and talks down to and about other staff Low moral Greed - this contract serves to pay management staff well and no other employees yet they expect top results from staff Constant payroll problems Reward programs only go to bartenders who already make more money than most of the staff None of the Sodexo values are represented in this division of the company

Pros

I can't think of any "PROS" for working for this company.

Cons

These people, since taking over the site, seems to find fault in everything that the employees that are not actually SODEXO employees. SODEXO Management and the executive chef always blame the employees and take no blame when things don't go right! They are, in this reviewers opinion trying to force those workers that are not SODEXO workers out, so they can replace the workers with SODEXO workers, instead of the workers that were grandfatherd in at the location.

Pros

Diversity of business is interesting. Opportunity to move around is available. Pay is market rate.

Cons

Poor business planning and no strategic thinking. Too much emphasis on reporting. They go through cycles where as the business grow they employ and are just as quick to slash jobs when things don't look so good. This could be alleviated if there was more stability in their thinking and some actual vision.
