Current Employee – been working at ARAMARK full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – My manager supports personal development and work-life balance. The people I work with are fantastic. I have had many good experiences and opportunities, and my salary is very competitive.

Cons – This past year has been a nightmare. The new CEO fired hundreds of managers who had been there. Perhaps he saw tenure as the inability to change. The new CEO is also bringing in a bunch of people from Pepsi where he used to work. Although I agree with a "fresh eyes" approach for changing culture, I believe the new CEO and his team are short-sighted. You can't have people who don't understand the current culture and the complexity of the business making major decisions about the future of the company. I think their approach is all wrong.

Advice to Senior Management – You say you want to put the "front line first," but your current strategy really doesn't lessen the workload for the front line or the district managers. Plus, your approach for separating employees from the company is poor. In addition to the people you're separating from the company involuntarily, you're losing many more voluntarily and disengaging hundreds of others. Your" hobby" of trying to rebuild this company is negatively affecting the financial security and emotions of the employees.

Current Employee – been working at ARAMARK

Pros – Large, stable company with long track record. They have a lot of resources, so whatever they do, they do well.

Cons – The managers in our location are very nice, and seem to be concerned about the individual. The corporation as a whole, does not. It's all about the numbers to them. Many of my coworkers have been treated unfairly.

Advice to Senior Management – Try to adjust your business model to fit different accounts, rather than going with the "tried and true" methods that may not work all the time.

Advice to Senior Management – Find a way of having employees at food service locations experience more of a team environment. There was no way for me to get to know the people I worked with outside voluntary socializing.
