Former Employee – worked at ARAMARK

Pros – Job Security, medical care, people are nice, relax. It's a good job for people who want to retire or house wife who just want to earn a stable and secured income.

Cons – Poor middle level management. Poor technology ( we were using some old printing and cutting machines from the 70s!) Lack of training.

Advice to Senior Management – More career opportunities. More 360 degree evaluations. Channels of communicating to upper level management. More employee training should be provided.

Former Employee – worked at ARAMARK

Pros – I enjoyed learning the various food programmes, and becoming familiar with the policies and procedures of the many franchises contracted with ararmark. Many food programmes were fun and innovative. I learned also that lying and cheating play a much larger role in some corporate structures than I had previously witnessed.

Cons – Middle management are actually worse off than the unionized employees, which can breed a resentment. They are also the most disposable when there are disputes or grievances. Union reps are very aware of this. There is an old boys club mentality in the management echelon.

Advice to Senior Management – Do not rely on your internal customer satisfaction surveys as idicators. They are administered by the same managers who are pressured to bias the information collection. Do not rely on weekly inventories that are tweaked to provide results, that, presumably senior managers are bonused on. As a private company you need to be more transparent on the compensation structure of management and company profits. You need to investigate areas of high management turnover.

Former Employee – worked at ARAMARK part-time for less than a year

Pros – Comprehensive health benefits after one month of working, friendly people.

Cons – You don't feel like you're working for Aramark, you feel like you're working for the building where you go to work. (Food service in my experience)

Advice to Senior Management – Find a way of having employees at food service locations experience more of a team environment. There was no way for me to get to know the people I worked with outside voluntary socializing.
