Sodexo's unprofessional managers are the ones creating problems

Cook

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy to get a job. Sodexo is always hiring because of high turnover: the ratio of the number of workers that had to be replaced in a given time period to the average number of workers.

Cons

Managers are inclined to prefer those who flatter them and, consequently, have preferential treatments. Almost non-existent background check, apart from the drug test in some Sodexo locations, not all of them. They do not require vaccination or other things required by other corporations. Usually Sodexo offers from 9 to 12 dollars per hour, much less than currently paid by other employers. At least it's a Sodexo that serves the military or the Government and, therefore, with a Union.

Pros

You may get to meet decent people not in Sodexo though. Through the account

Cons

Racists company primarily in New York blue chip accounts, you’ll encounter a lot of nepotism, unqualified managers made directors/ General managers due to who they’re related to - they fake documentations, things like pass employees hand washing when they should be disciplined, pending on your race you’re allowed to steal as long as you’re white.

Poor shift patterns. Unpredictable day. Back stabbing colleagues. Favouritism. Bad management. No consistency. Management bullying and abuse of staff.
