What don't you like about working at ARAMARK?

"I didn't like having the managers stand over my shoulder and watch everything I did. Personally, I work better when I'm relaxed and the managers' constant nitpicking consistently threw me off."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The exact location that I worked at is a cafeteria for college students. Up front, the environment is calm and relaxed. Most of the kids who come in usually aren't in a rush. However, behind the scenes lies a very high stress environment in which even the shift management seems flurried. What needs to be understood is that the college cafeteria isn't considered 5 star dining, nor will it ever be."

"I would make sure that every employee was properly trained in all aspects of the job, in case they had to fill in elsewhere."
