Pros

Sodexo is a strong company and depending on the account you are at, can be a pleasant experience. Salaries are generally fair depending on your boss.

Cons

They will do everything possible to find a loop hole to not pay out bonuses. New roll outs are not backed up and supported. They fade away within a few months. A lot of work and expense wasted. Sales teams make promises that the managers can not produce. Budgets are not very attainable. Sodexo says 'own your unit' but you are not allowed to run it that way. Company is more numbers-driven than service-driven. No career path... DM's put you where they need you. Salaries on are not dependent on performance. 3% is what you get unless you move to another account.

Pros

At the end of the day they pay your salary while you look for something better and some of the canteens are not too bad either (for some it depends on the day!)

Cons

Working in the office, most of the time the atmosphere isn't very nice, long working hours expected and there's lots of internal politics going on.
