Sodexo Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Currently, the company is not developing in a direction that includes growth and I would like to be in a company that is growing and in a position to make a positive impact. I would also like to further develop my skills as a project manager. My current company is looking for information from outside sources with the little food service experience."

"It is an okay job, but not that great."

What don't you like about working at Sodexo?

What suggestions do you have for management?

"As for Sodexo's Management, they need to learn to communicate with their staff and make sure their staff are working correctly without any issues and always offer advices and help when beginning-level managers are having difficulties."

"It's good to work for Sodexho as part-time employee."

"I've worked here since 2008, good place to work, but a little slow in improvements and not up to date technologies. I would like to learn more and explore new technologies that actually I have only known by my own initiative."

"I worked at Sodexo for 3 years."

"The job as a food server is easy, really easy. It's just very disorganized, frustrating, and there is no actual training process which does not couple well with the fact that there is a high staff rotation due to everybody working there being a student, or at least used to be, you can expect everybody to quit within a year or two. My motto for the place is, "Get good, leave." As in, get good at the job, then leave shortly afterwards, because by that time you're off to your new job that actually has something to do with what you studied or is simply better than here. We're discouraged, or better said, prevented from working 30 or more hours, and if you prove to be a useful worker you become an unofficial "shift lead" which has no benefits besides being tasked with more jobs and being responsible for the shortcomings of your other cowers on your shift. Since we are contracted out by the school, they have a strong grip on what our budget is to work with, what we serve, and how we handle our appearance. So far, the only way to really get a tool or machine that is breaking down replaced is for it to become completely useless. I have been trying to get our coffee machine replaced for the past four months, the school and the Sodexo company have had a repairman look at it about eight times now. Ridiculous. The job is easy, but I'm frustrated at how disorganized and difficult to improve it can be."

"Sodexo is a great company to work for however some of the management lacks the integrity and ethics that the company values."

"I have worked within this company for the past 10 years, and what was once an ethical company who seemed to have cared for the people who they employed; has changed within the past four years and makes it difficult everyday knowing the company you work for are no longer ethical or appreciative of those they employ."
