Pros
The quality of life as fas as hours are concrned make it a good life for families. Most of the time you have nights and weekends off. The pay is pretty good for the food service business considering the hours worked. Ever account is different and if you are willing to move around than you can expeience an array of different situations that keep work from geting boring. Aramark also has many different lines of business and it is fairly easy to move from one line of business to another if you are looking for a different opportuniy or neeed to relocate.
Cons
If you are in an average size account, you are the only manager and therfore rsponsible for everything with little assistance from anyone else in the company. It often becomes difficult to take vacation because noone can cover your account for you. The paperwork is abundant and overbearing. Aramark only really care if you ar completeing your paperwork and rarely check your account to make sure you are following the standards of the company. In the last few years the focus of upper management has drifted away from whats important (quality food and customer service) and put more ehphasis on corporate standards. This means an excessive amount of checklists and paperwork that mak the manager much less effective in running the business proprly. It has stopped being fun and turned into a grind. Good people are leaving the company at a rapid rate and upper management does not seem to care as long as the checklists contnue to get completed.
