Pros

Can be left to work independently if you strive on that condition.

Cons

Promotions based on politics, not performance. Pay based on race/gender. Expected to work greater than 50 hrs per week on salary, and attend regular meetings (approx. monthly) in the evenings in addition to these hours. Meetings can be over an hour's drive w/no mileage paid, and be up to three hours long.

Pros

for someone in the food service industry it is more relaxed than a restaurant. The main functions of a management job are good. Corporate officers/employees are fair and reasonable.

Cons

Each unit/location has its downsides. Working in one location for more than 5 years is not a good idea. The campus service segment is a tough environment, and staying too long can make management take advantage of your knowledge. In addition if you want to take a promotion it is difficult to leave because upper mgmt at the location will have a hard time filling your shoes, so they are less apt to let you go.

Pros

Sodexo is the 5th largest company in the world, and they are established on every continent. This is something most companies cannot say. It has been a great opportunity for me to build many contacts and to get some good experience. This has been my first job out of college, and it will look great having such a large company on my resume. Sodexo has many management job opportunities and you can re-locate to almost anywhere in the world. It has overall been a great first job experience.

Cons

Some of the General Managers in the Campus Dining sector of Sodexo often "coast" through their jobs. They do not take the time and effort to secure their clients, ensuring that we will have them for years to come.
