Pros

Sodexo has great benefits and many programs to assist in furthering your career. Sodexo's managers are all hard working and try to work as a team, care about people that they work with and employees.

Cons

Work to many long hours, under stressful situations. Managers are normally under a "no win" situation. Some of the contracts should be reviewed, and eliminated. General Managers are always stressed and fear of losing there jobs, District Mangers are normally never in house and do not understand the workings of the contract and the client.

Pros

Great company that takes care of its employees

Cons

Limited room for advancement in some regions; reducing corporate staff has dramatically increased demands on operations staff....unfairly balanced. Not enough person to person...all training is on line

I appreciate you taking the time to share a review. I'm happy you've had a good 10+ years with Sodexo and hope you will find satisfaction for many more years to come. In regards to your feedback about advancement, every unit / region is different. If you're struggling with this, I encourage you to contact your HR Director to discuss career goals and best ways to prepare for when an opening in your area becomes available, as internal promotion and advancement are a big part of our culture. Please feel free to reach out via the Sodexo USA Careers group on LinkedIn if you have further questions.
