      OK company with decent benefits. Lots of room for advancement, however you have to be in with the right people

      Cons

      Work life balance sucks. Lack of training makes it hard on employees as well as management. Time mostly spent putting out fires🔥

      I worked at Sodexo part-time

      Pros

      Really good atmosphere, they really care about the students that work for them and make a point to work around students' schedules. They know our education came first to us, and since there were so many employees to work with, taking days off for academic reasons was never a problem.

      Cons

      Can be boring/tedious, especially on slower days when less students come into the dining halls to eat. I was only allowed to work 20 hours a week.

      Advice to Management

      None really, keep being positive and a joy to be around!

    10. "Not too bad"

      I worked at Sodexo part-time

      Pros

      The pay was decent for a part time job

      Cons

      It is a very big company so most of the decisions comes from the top. The local branches have very little influence over what goes on in the corporate sector.
