Sodexo reviews

In the beginning of my career, the starting pay and benefits program were good compared to the competition. But as the years went on, Senior Management pushed more of the cost burdon onto the employees shoulders. Basic catistrophic medical coverage use to be less than $10.00 per week, and has soared to over $60.00 per week. It is truly awful. In general, the Health Insurance they offer is costly compared to other similar employers. I did enjoy the Free meals in-unit and Sodexo was good at communcicating changes that were occuring world wide. Another downside is their diversity program. They focus so much on diversity, at times they hire based on racial status and not based on ability. Sodexo has horrible senior leadership and support. The company downsized HR and Finance departments in 2007 and the level of service provided afterwards was horrible and remains so today.

Management is incompetent. They treat their employees like slaves and don't expect you to have a personal life. They are only concerned with how much the bonus checks will be. My manager would have been a strong contender in the Special Olympics. I was often forced to take Comp Time when I actually had worked overtime. The on-call system is terrible. Who wants to get out of bed at three in the morning to go in to change a battery.
