Pros

The pay rate for my postion with Sodexo compared to the same postion at my last job, (starbucks) is much better (about a $4/hr. raise) and its less stressful due to the fact that its less busy.

Cons

There's not very much room to advance in the company. There is a definite gap between "the workers" and "management" because the management doesnt really talk to or associate themselves with the workers who dont have a "management" title.
