Pros

The pay was rather good compared to other jobs in the industry although there were no bonuses of any kind.

Cons

Aramark is all about kickbacks and all roads lead back to that; every vendor is mandated by Aramark standard and usually charge much more than you could get anywhere else so that the company (or higher up) gets their graft. They also charge for clients to use Aramark exclusive programs that do little to benefit the client. As a Manager you spend an unbelievable amount of time proving that you're doing your job as opposed to actually doing it.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
