Business Outlook

Pros

The opportunity to work independently. Believe me, you will be on your own spending the majority of your time putting out fires and defending your company from dissatisfied clients.

Cons

A company that places an emphasis on completing tasks that are internal rather than external. In other words, you will spend your time satisfying the need of the marketing department, sales department, finance department etc. etc. before addressing the needs of your clients. As a district manager, you will have 1 full time job answering to "Sodexo" and another full time job taking care of your client's needs.

Pros

Growth opportunities, I had a few managers that taught me a lot and encouraged growth. Co-Workers, I made friends for life working with a few and we followed each other working at two different Sodexo locations over our 18 years together.

Cons

Pay! Sodexo is one of the lowest paying companies in our industry. They also do not care about the employees, you are disposable commodity and do not believe when they tell you otherwise.
