Working at Sodexo in Eau Claire, WI: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Eau Claire, WI Area

"My typical day at work was covering for all the people who called in sick for whom the upper management kept giving extra chances. Then I would get my own work done. When I would ask for help, I received rubber stamp 'figure it out yourself' answers, or outright snarkiness. Not once did I receive real time meaningful help from my superiors. What I learned from all of this was that I had to be excellent all on my own. I was for 7 years. Last year right before T-Day break when the FSLA rule appeared to be going through, I was promised a raise. The FSLA rule was blocked right before break, but three days after my raise was supposed to have taken effect, it was taken away, and then the company tried to blame the court system in a mass email--as if promised raises 'had' to be taken away when the case was only that they 'could' be. This is not the only mistrustful action on Sodexo's part, but it's a good example of this company's MO--a culture of secrecy and spooks. The hardest part of my job was being stuck between union workers who spent exactly the number of chances they had before they got in real trouble and a company that when I asked for bread for being instrumental in winning a 10 year contract gave me a stone. The most enjoyable part of my job was being the boss of over 100 people. It was really swell getting to know all my new employees and deepening relationships with the long timers who showed up for work. In summary, never work management for Sodexo. At a corporate training, I was in a class with a majority in worse situations than I. When I finally left Sodexo, my final paycheck was screwed up 4 times and I was still shorted."

"Worked there for a year and overall was a good and pleasant experience."
