Decisions take place behind doors

Facility Operations Manager (Former Employee), Toronto, ON – May 21, 2012

Cons: too much work load, no support from management, politics, decisions behind close doors, no career growth

I once heard a comment that "I'm being left alone by Sodexo in front of a herd of wolves". I guess this clearly defines their methodology and the way they deal with the situation. Less said is better.

Co workers are also not cooperative and are back biters, may be because they are saving their jobs by playing dirty games. I'm glad that I made a decision.

IslandOfOne – May 25, 2012

I was hired for a position that far exceeded my knowledge base because I was the "best candidate", I was told "you won't be left out there on an island...we will be there for you...we know we are throwing an unimagineable amount at you and we don't expect you to grasp it all right away". And there I was alone on my island. PS- they still owe me over $1000!

EthicsFirst – May 30, 2012

Thank you for seconding me. They also didn't give me my dues initially by saying that I'd consumed all of my vacations, however when I submitted proofs and did follow ups, they then realized it and had to pay them. This shows where their norms and ethical values are! For them it should be Ethics First.

Average Job

Customer Service (Former Employee), Tempe, AZ – May 16, 2013

Working as a server felt mostly like an average food service job. The plus side of working with them was that they were very very understanding about having to juggle school work with the job.

flexible work space, able to work with a college students schedule

server (Former Employee), Mansfield, PA – May 14, 2013

Pros: free lunches, flexible work hours

Cons: extremely hot work environment due to multiple ovens

a typical day at work i would come in and stock the coolers with anything needed for that day, clean all counter surfaces as well as the ovens and be prepared for a rush of students between classes. The people i worked with were very friendly and easy to talk to, I get along with just about anyone. The best part about this job was the fact that they – more... would work with my class schedule. – less

Good job and enjoyed working at Liverpool Womens Hospital

Porter (Former Employee), Liverpool womens hospital – May 14, 2013

Pros: implement agenda for change which resulted in better pay and conditions

Cons: not much chance of progression

I only worked for Sodexho for a short time and found them to be a very enjoyable company to work for. A typical day involved cleaning room, providing barrier cleans, delivering clean linen to wards.
I worked with a great team and we all worked well together.
The hardest part of the job was low staffing levels.

worjing with the students

Supervisor/Retail (Current Employee), Troy, AL – May 13, 2013

Pros: meeting the students

Cons: can't progress in the company

The job is not difficult and I enjoy meeting the students. However, when the leaders in the company are not interested in the best interest of the workers; the work place is not a fun place to work.

Productive and educational

Commis (Former Employee), Dublin – May 13, 2013

Pros: good teamwork, good learning experience, work under pressure, good time managment

Cons: dealing with awkward situations

My hours were from 11am to 7pm or 7am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. I learnt how to manage my time. I found that team working was an important part of the job, as in any profession. I learnt a lot about working under pressure and providing a high standard of food. I enjoyed working with a multi - cultural team and client bass. This help me understand the – more... culinary needs, such as allergies, to these clients. The hardest part of this job was satisfying the clients with the food that we produced day to day. Also, dealing with awkward customers. I found this very difficult at the start but throughout my time there found ways to deal with this. – less

Large, well known, and respected company

Barista (Former Employee), PA – May 12, 2013

Pros: good pay, good hours, and knowledgable staff

Cons: not getting the required breaks or not getting any overtime.

Typical day of work for me consisted of preparing, cooking, and serving food. Working the cash register and counting the draw at closing time. The management was knowledgable, responsible, and fair. The hardest part of my job would have to be customer communication because working at a hospital there are many different languages, I learned a few words – more... in a different language. The most enjoyable part of my job was getting to work around so many people. I am very personable so that was a positive working for sodexo. – less

An average work day with Sodexo

Documentation Specialist/Unit Clerk (Former Employee), Somerset, NJ – May 10, 2013

Pros: no room for ad vancement, cross training was not welcomed.

Cons: friendly to cultural differences.

An average day with Sodexo consisted of documenting co-workers time spent on each project from the previous days work in Excel. Screening scientist incoming emails for job request to be printed and or seeking requests that required revisions previously before processing can begin. Analyze scientist work request for accuracy and completion. Verify data – more... before printing study labels for various products as specifically requested by scientist and scan for their approval, Keep track of the amount of supplies used for each study and charge back accordingly. Manage monthly reports. Assist co-workers when the need arises. I like my position, but was willing and able to learn more, but that need to explore new functions wasn't welcomed. – less

Have enjoyed working with this company I am sad we lost the contract

Retail Manager (Former Employee), Easton, MD – May 10, 2013

I am have been very happy with my employer however we have lost the contract, I have spent the past 6 1/2 years working between retail services and patient services. A typical day is being there in the morning to be sure things get up and running. If one of the 3 Lead Associates is on vacation I will fill in for them so I could be the closing person. – more... I also am the Manager of the Jazzman's Café a small coffee shop at a Medical Building in Queenstown, MD. I have one employee who works there. – less

I enjoyed the people I worked with. The management could have overseen the duties of the staff a little better.

Baker (Current Employee), Granville, OH – May 7, 2013

Pros: free food, trying new recipes and working with great people

Cons: food safety issues not being addressed

A typical day is filled with following a list of the daily catering needs and a list of desserts needed for the students. I've learned over the years to multitask...always have something in the oven while I'm packaging another order. I enjoy the people I work with. Most of them are caring and considerate of others. The hardest part of my job is seeing – more... food safety issues ignored by management and not setting good examples themselves. The most enjoyable part of my job is getting recognition from the customers. We rarely have any contact with them, so it's nice to hear that they really liked what they ordered. – less
