      I have been working at Sodexo USA full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      Good place and good managers at lower level. Lower managers are cooperative and will help you in anything they can. Also, Colgate employees are very respectful and nice people to work for and with.

      Cons

      Horrible salary. I believe, if it was not prohibited in the US constitution, whomever is in charged of the salary in here would’ve gladly purchased a few slaves in order to avoid paying their employees and saving that money for the company. This company severely underpaid workers to the point which is straight up unethical. They take the maximum advantage of people with lower working skills, those who don’t believe... in themselves that they could not get another job or migrate to another company, and severely underpaid them. An example of this is that you would need to work for this company in here for over a decade if you want to receive at least the national average salary on many of their position. I wish Colgate, like other big companies such as Apple and Google currently do, would hold their long-term contractors to some ethical standards with their employees.

      I have been working at Sodexo USA full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Always feeling busy and on your toes, never a dull moment. Generally, the other management team members are passionate about their area and want you to succeed and grow. Their reviews weigh some on how much they prepare the next line of staff for the next level in the company.

      Cons

      Communication. At times, the business side gets priority and its hard to remember who is doing what/where/when/how when communication is lacking or regularly abrupt. Felt like the wheel kept on getting re-invented (from general lack of sharing best practices/resources) for processes and it wasn't long before it wore on me. High management turn over at this particular unit which I have chalked up to politics. Doesn't... have to be that way, hope to see it has improved.

      Advice to Management

      I expressed what communication helps me to thrive from the beginning to management: talking through things regularly helps me understand we're on the same page -- and along the way instead, it felt as though I was expected to be a mind-reader, and often found myself stressed and not knowing what to do/who best to ask for help. Towards the end of my time, meetings began to be more regular and communication felt more... like it should be, but it should have happened much much sooner! On my end, I frankly couldn't keep it up in that environment. Senior Management always seemed so busy and preoccupied with their own politics which was frustrating and therefore not reciprocal in their welcome. More concerned about the client than their own team. Balance between both could have been better. VPs seemed to get it!!
