Pros

Sodexo is a good company to work for. A company with a real culture, real values. Its not for everyone but if you share their values it can be a great place to work. Many employees have been with the company for years. The company's expertise is vast and extends far beyond food services. 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.

Pros

The management team, including Sr. Leadership take a geniune interest in my career growth and development. I have great friendships with my co-workers and they are very supportive. Although I travel alot, the flexibility I have in my role when I'm home is invaluable. I would be hard pressed to find another organization where I can attend 100% of my children's school functions when I am at home.

Cons

I do have to travel a lot; when I'm home, I have the flexibility to meet the needs of my family by attending school events, working from home, working hours that fit around my family's needs

Pros

With Sodexo I am afforded a great quality of life, I am well compensated for what I do and feel good about it.

Cons

The career growth is not what I expected. No matter what position becomes available there is someone selected for the position before the position is even posted. Everyone will deny this but not only have I seen it in my own account but I have heard about it in others.
