Pros

Large global company with options in a wide range of industries. Foster growth and learning for those who seek it.

Cons

Contract services provides a risk of loosing employment when the contract ends and accounts close. The company does not assign you to a new location, you must apply for other positions if they are available.

I appreciate your feedback and your many years of service at Sodexo! It's great to read all of the positive aspects you've found at the company so far. To address the contract services piece, there is always a chance that a contract might end. However, our team of in-house recruiters are always happy to connect with anyone in that situation and try to help them identify other opportunities nearby that might be a fit. Great points, so thank you again for sharing.
