Pros

Big company a lot of growth opportunities. Offsite training and trainers were awesome. They really encouraged their managers to be the best.

Cons

Good ole boy network. Hang on to bad managers. Promote bad management to save money. A lot of the time management was encouraged to manage by bullying other managers.

Pros

After busy hours there is a little more freedom to move around and do your job. You make good friends.. I like my job. It does get busy and I believe it takes special people to work in the unit. I have made friends also great management in my opinion.

Cons

Tiring fast paced but once you have been their at least a month you get pretty use to it. I secretly love my job. I’ve had so far a fair experience with sodexo all together.

We hope you'll continue to enjoy your role, your unit and your colleagues for years to come.
