Pros

Decent pay, good benefits and job growth opportunities

Cons

too many bosses, you have to please the client and your sodexo bosses

Advice to Senior Management

stop bowing down to the client all the time!

Pros

The people who work there are generally very fun to work with.. Many work hard for every dollar they make. People who work hard are great to have in the workplace.

Cons

The management can be very difficult at times. Employees who were not students could take any days off they wanted no questions asked. Even though I was considered one of the best employees at the company, it was VERY hard to EVER get a shift off, just because I was a student... I always felt that all the student workers were not considered important...

Advice to Senior Management

I believe that listening to the needs of the employees is very important. Sometimes, when we say something is wrong, or needs to be changed, it IS wrong. Please learn to listen to feedback from employees and the customers.

Pros

Great benefits, A lot of autonomy, good recources to work with and good training. There is a lot of career growth opportunities.

Cons

As the world of contract services goes there is a lot of proving your value to the client and those who you work with.

Advice to Senior Management

Overall good job. Try to lower the politics and focus on the results. Put some real heart into the "programs" instead of just get it done to show our value.

Pros

They are a large company with many opportunities for frontline employees and hourly workers to find employment with good benefits.

Cons

I did not find them particularly supportive of management teams unless you are in a major market. Small market, you are on your own.

Pros

good pay, nice boss, I could have just been lucky.

Cons

no leniency in working hours even if there is an emergency

Advice to Senior Management

decent company

Pros

It is a big company with many chances to move up the ranks if you are willing to be flexible on location and pay.

Cons

There are some very crooked account managers and corporate doesn't seem to do much in helping to straighten them out. This results in some questionable business ethics across the board.

Advice to Senior Management

Really take a look at what is going on at the account level (not just what the front line employees are up to).

Pros

Some of the coworkers were some of the best people you could work with. There was usually good teamwork among employees.

Cons

The management where I worked does not treat everyone equally. The raises were minimal. Management had an adversarial relationship with workers because of contratural requirement to have an always satisfied rating.

Advice to Senior Management

Regional managers should communicate with the average worker more instead of dealing stricktly with management in order to gain a true insight into how things are being run.

Pros

Easy job when working with compatent co-workers

Cons

They hired EVERYONE, especially when they're young. So co-workers can be immature and EXTREMELY lazy. You pay for other people stupidity so the rules change quite frequently. Its a dirty job.

Advice to Senior Management

Put a little more thought in your hiring credentuals. Its ok to hire young people but make sure theyre responsible and hard working. Also STOP CHANGING THE RULES

Pros

Sometimes long hours .Need to get paid for longer hours
