quick paced but thorough
General Cleaner (Former Employee) – London, ON – 21 December 2018
overall good experience, was quick paced but training was sufficient. I would like to see more hands on training as well as a longer shadowing period to get employees adjusted to avoid high turn over rates.
Pros
good pay
Cons
some health risks
University kitchen
Prep/Line Cook/sous shadow (Former Employee) – Lethbridge, AB – 7 December 2018
It was a great location, however it was not the easiest job. I climbed the ladder of this job quick starting out as a prep cook making 300 mini pizza daily then started prep cooking industrial amounts of various foods suck as raw meat, vegetables, Fruit ETC, I then moved up to becoming sous chef shadow, however the management was not very productive and the menu was being complained about from the students, there was a lack of kitchen spirit and communication.
Pros
Free lunches
Cons
Not good enough pay, No holidays, Seasonal
Unique experience
Clerk (Current Employee) – Keeyask – 28 November 2018
Some people really love working with Sodexo. They can grow and learn new skills and advance. This is a camp so there is a high turnover. This is in the Hospitality industry. If this is what your are looking for, this may be the place for you.

Cons
3 weeks in and 7 days off
Fun and diverse workplace
CASHIER/USHER (Former Employee) – Gatineau, QC – 22 November 2018
A typical day at work would start by getting ready to go to either the box office or the gift shop of the museum. I would take my cash and turn on the computer, open the point of sale software, then greet visitors.
Great coworkers and nice environment
March Rd - General Helper (Former Employee) – Ottawa West, ON – 18 October 2018
Start of the day would be at 8:00 am. I would be given daily tasks inside and outside the building whether it was gardening, landscaping, recycling, cleaning up. Basically, anything that needed assistance or caretaking would be given to me. The people there are very friendly and helpful. Learned a lot about time management and getting the job done with quality.
Pros

Cons
long hours

Housekeeper (Former Employee) – Abbotsford, BC – 8 June 2018

Housekeeping Aide (Current Employee) – Calgary, AB – 27 April 2018
I only work part time once a week but I enjoy my work. At times if I am free from my full time job the company will call me then asked if I can cover up someone who was absent in that specific area or place. ( Eg. Sun Park Plaza, North Hill, Sheldon Chumir, or Family Clinic, and TB Clinic ). I am flexible in whatever work assigned to me and I learned so much from each of one, whoever is my companion on work.
The management is good and helpful. I did not see any hard part on my work so far except that it is night time but I used for it. I enjoy working with or without supervision as long as I am doing the best I can for company's good outcome and expectations.

Cashier/General Helper (Former Employee) – Sherbrooke, QC – 2 April 2018
This was my first official job. It taught me a lot about myself.
I got along very well with my co-workers. But I also came to the realization that I did not like working with food.
Nonetheless, the job was a great job to have at the time.
