Sodexo Employer Reviews

We have a great day. It gets busy at times but we hold it down. i can really work but looking for a new job

For the past 3 years of working with sodexo things have really got out of control. The managers has turned everyboby against each other including the shopstewards.I was terminated for being asaulted by a fellow coworker and barred from campus, but the coworker who was involved got his job back with no harm done , but myyself on the other hand couldnt – more... even get my vacation pay payed out to me that i already earned. You have way more people who deserves to be terminated but no actions are taking against them . i was even threaten by another coworker in front of manager but because the coworker was a family member of the manager nothing was done about it. – less

A great place to work I am very hands on with the students,and the other people that work there. I cook,and serve the students and faculty in a timely manner in order finish my job. I am already a experienced cook,so i already had those basic skills. I love my co-workers they always work as a team. I love the students that are there.

As a temporary employee, I worked in all aspects of the cafeteria. I was always busy and there was always something to do. Unfortunately I witnessed three managers come and go, and two different companies take over. There was a lot of stress among the regular employees because their rate of pay was lowered when the new company took over.

Company does not encourage advancement with all managers.

it was a different type of experience for me working in different areas of the cafe I did enjoy the good food while working there

I worked as a promotion coordinator, basically every day, I would plan out events and create newsletters. I would also be responsible for making calendars and hosting events. I learned alot of marketing and promotional skills from the company, and management was sweet and nice, they would take care of people in need. The people I worked with were great – more... at what they did, and had fun while doing it. The hardest part I say would be meeting deadlines, while every moment was in fact a fun journey. – less

I cater meals daily for faculty and staff, and occasionally the Chancellor of the school. I've learned to be more proactive, and to handle business more efficiently from a companies point of view. I honestly find it hard to report to some of my managers because of the lack of leadership. I have done so in the past, along with other supervisors and the – more... issues seems to never get resolved.... Hardest part of my job, is feeling like I'm alone when its suppose to be team efforts throughout the venue. Most enjoyable part of my job is some of my coworkers and I have formed a family bond. – less

Great area to work in and descent benefits only problem is management very untrustworthy. Was a terrible experience, they lack respect of good employers and like to gossip. Be carefull when working on w.o district

Punch in for work see what spot your going to be in start preping before we open serve guest breakdown and clean and sanitize for the next day fill everything you used that day for the next day.as far as the coworkers that where there for awhile mean and bitter so you where on your own so you train yourself I just focus on guest and my preformance and – more... pleasing them – less

I enjoyed my time at Sodexo. I liked the work I did and had fun while I was working. I had a lot of good people around me both in my department and those working around the building in general. I would have stayed there if there were no lay off periods. I have a family and need a full time, year round position.

Clock in and get to work immediately, always so many people there. Not a place i really felt i could grow in and not something i was interested in a a career.

I work for Sodexo for 7years
It not bad it you have a good manger to work with
But my last two years where very bad
No days off work every holiday
Very long hours

First job so I learned everything from Customer Serivce, production, food cost, waste Management, how to create the perfect sandwhich for the clients.

its a my first job in sodexo .its a good experience

Learned how to managed the market business. How to created new business & channel partner of company requirement. How to handle number of channel partner and solved the problem regarding to product related and time to time service provide to our channel partner & business partner.

Sodexo provided an educational experience while studying at Montclair State University. A rotational schedule provided a variety of situational exposures to a variety of positions and capacities within Sodexo and the contact food management industry.

Typical day is clocking in and starting my shift. Serving to the students of the university.

If I am in the kiosks then I would pick my till and start counting out the money, checking all the correct money is in the till. I would help the team leader make sure everything was ready and set out make sure all the burns were filled and crisps ect would be out ready to serve to the public. Once people are allowed into the stadium I would start serving, – more... its good as it keeps you busy but not too busy were you are stressing and the company you get with other staff and managers is great always talking away and making sure you are all right. working in a kiosk has a lot to do with team work as if your doing something and someone else is doing about 10 other things you can always try and help out to keep the lines down and be as productive as possible.Its a great place to work and the best bit about the job is meeting new people. – less

I took this job as a part-time accompaniment to my full-time student schedule. The enjoyability of work hinged on the working manager on any given day, which was hit-or-miss. That said, co-workers were friendly and supportive of each other--very few people worked this job without making friends. My one complaint was that advancement opportunities within – more... the company were slim to none, at least at my location. Managers were hired with zero management experience when several well-qualified, veteran line workers were itching for promotion.
Another questionable element was that some workers were coerced into spending extra hours (staying later, skipping breaks) and working, often single-handedly, to finish the worst of the day's tasks. For a food service job, this seems like an unnecessarily big commitment.
A typical day often included getting to work before managers were in, so being a self-starter was a must if work was to get done on time. Positions were not set, and every employee had to learn on the fly and use common sense to discern and complete necessary tasks. The hardest part of the job was a general lack of appreciation that some (but not all) managers had for line workers. As corny as it sounds, the most enjoyable part of the job was the completion of a busy dinner service with efficiency and teamwork. – less
