Pros

Great networking, pay and bonus... Insurance is alright and bery fair and etical company- You will not believe how hard the company works to gain your trust,,, Communication is top notch and the review is very fair...

Cons

All depends on the contract at your location- Out of unit positions need to turn over due to lack of interest in making every day a better day for those in units... All divisions work in silos and do not play nice... Overall watch your step and work hard you will be fine...

Work 50-60 hours per week and it's not enough

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is acceptable Company over all is progressive with technology, marketing, and training for managers not for hourly staff.

Cons

Paperwork expected is ridiculous considering the time you are supposed to be connecting with clients /customers and hourly workers. New projects, audits are handed down 10-15x yearly by Sodexo and 8-20x yearly by your client. Stay on top of it all (with daily service )and a smile or your out of the club.
