Sodexo - Always A Great Place to Work

human resources manager

Pros

Sodexo's commitment to diversity is one of the reasons I love working for the company. That dedication makes us a strong company. One whose strengths are in the differences we can overcome. Sodexo takes care of employees just like it takes care of clients. I would recommend this company to my family and friends if they were looking for a career.

Cons

Is there supposed to be a downside? I am not so sure that I can list any. My career with Sodexo has been like a walk in the park. The opportunities for advancement are wonderful. Perhaps the only downside could be that with a worldwide company, there is a great deal of hierarchy.
