Pros

It is a short term job with decent pay for a month or two. You do get to eat on the company as part of your benefits. There is overtime while employed by these people.

Cons

They fire keep the cost of unemployment and benefits down. Employee turnover is huge at this location. Someone gets hired thinking they have a chance at a steady job and then are released before benefits are available. Good for the company ; bad for the American worker. hours go up as people are constanted released before their probationary period is over. Does each part of Sodexo follow this employee program?

It is the world's premier expert in Quality of Life Services, covering all aspects of professional and personal daily life.

Cons

Like all big companies it can sometimes seem overly complex and a bit political.
