Good for Casual Work
Cashier/ Runner (Former Employee) - Croke Park, County Dublin - 11 May 2022
Worked with Aramark for events at Croke Park through the summer. Supervisor roles were given to anybody (most were not suited). Concerts brought on a lot of pressure but it was overall okay to work for short-term.

Hard work all the time and no thanks for it, catering manager very negative, focuses on things not done and never praise for a job well done
Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - Sligo Town, County Sligo - 10 January 2022
No praise for work done, always negative remarks no matter how good work was done. Always tied to time. Management not very approachable at times. No praise for work done, focus more on the negative. Manager unapproachable. As long as work was done management didn't care about us.

No thanks for a job well done.

Rude and unprofessional
Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - Castlebar, County Mayo - 14 October 2021
The management are rude and unprofessional. You are overworked and can go a week with no days off as they are so understaffed. High turnover of staff. The managers will talk badly about you to other members of staff and demoralise you infront of others. You are treated with zero respect whatsoever.
Pros
Free lunches
Cons
Long hours, management, can go days with no days off

Jobs at Aramark
No Future
Housekeeping Supervisor And Cleaning Supervisor (Current Employee) - South Dublin, County Dublin - 30 September 2021
The worse place to work, No Recognition or Acknowledgement of any sort, If you Got into the Upper Tier, it's okay but if you end up in lower stage don't think you will ever get be promoted, and there is Culture of Nationality exist, which is wide spread. I can write a Book on it, How a company can Aquair Contracts, with out any Regards to their Employees. Shame on you.
Pros
No Pros
Cons
Worse place

Toxic environment with small minded leadership
Finance Administrator (Current Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 24 September 2021
Toxic atmosphere with micros managing small minded leadership. CEO has zero respect or consideration for staff and this filters down to department heads. No work life balance. No benefits. Absolute refusal on hybrid working after 18 months of proving it works. CEO demanded and forced all employees back to the office with 24hrs notice with no consideration for childcare or family obligations, against government guidelines and before the guided dates. The work is fine as I enjoy what I do. But who it’s done for is the issue. 2+ years here and after week 2 I regretted the change. Avoid.
Pros
None. Basic 20 days holidays. Zero benefits
Cons
Long hours. No benefits. No staff events. Nothing.

Did not work for this company unless you're desperate.
Administrator (Former Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 9 September 2021
11 years of service, never received a pay increase. All facility companies are the same. Yet Aramark have the absolute cheek "We dream, we do", as there logo. Their in it for themselves, exploiting - greed of the almighty dollar. Employee appreciation day - your awarded with a coffee and bun. You sit through a video from the CEO. Your reminded how special it is, like its an honor a blessing, how privileged we are that he took time out.
Pros
My bosses were generally pleasant to work for.
Cons
Everything about the company, it is a CON.

All give no take
Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - Crumlin, County Dublin - 22 May 2020
Worked 7 years with Aramark in Crumlin Hospital. Too much work for basic wage. Unsafe equipment, not enough staff for how busy it was. No management skills, didn't care, rosters we're always late. I was dropped down to 1 day a week without any communication with myself until I confronted the mangers, was told it was for new staff to train even though I was with company 5 years they all passed the blame.
Pros
When I left Aramark.
Cons
To many

Can be fun place to work sometime,
The issue is basically no incentive and the way and manner people are treated and talked to by management is unacceptable in any workplace environment

Stressful
General Assistant (Former Employee) - Galway - 5 April 2020
This job is very easy when you know what you're trained well and know what you're doing, it can be very beneficial. A typical day is very stressful when understaffed but the people who are staff are amazing

Fun, relaxed work environment where all staff were friendly.
Catering staff (Former Employee) - Carrickmacross, County Monaghan - 23 March 2020
I was told about a potential job opening by a fellow student who I was in school with. She let me know it wasn't stressful and still allowed loads of time in the evenings for school work.
