Good hours-r
Barista/FSA (Former Employee) – Dublin – 25 April 2019
Personally the place that Ive worked in the hours were great , always have your weekends off (also depends witch location you work in). You also get free breakfast and lunch! Witch was good.
Sometimes felt a bit unorganized .
Also , this company DOES NOT give pay rises and doesnt matter how many years you work there, the only way to get a pay rise is to get a promotion. So lets say the rate of pay for FSA/Baristas goes up each year, the person who gets the position that year that it went up will be paid more than people who’ve worked there for 4-5 years . For example alot of us worked the same job, but had different rate of pay. This is where alot of people leave, because you dont feel rewarded for the work they put in .

Pros
Monday to Friday job

This company has a policy where they dont give pay rises
Terrible people to work for. Soul destroying.
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Dublin – 22 August 2019
Stay away from this company. They lie about everything. If you want to be exploited this is the company for you. The managment is non existant. They pick people for those positions who are uneducated and ignorant. The objective of this company is to place both your phyisical and mental health in danger. They are a disgrace.
Pros
NO Pros
Cons
Bad wages, Bad managment, Poor working conditions.
Lunatic asylum
Cook/Fsa. (Former Employee) – Ballina, County Mayo – 15 August 2019
The main problem was management. It was like working for a schizophrenic. You never knew what person you would meet each day. No support from HR. She turned staff against each other. The turnover on staff was shocking but when I addressed this fact I was told it wasn't high. (20 plus in 3 years and still going) I was often reduced to tears whilst working
Pros
Free food
Cons
Management and paperwork
Not a bad company to work for.
Food service assistant (Former Employee) – Swinford, County Mayo – 29 July 2019
Overall I enjoyed my experience . I learned so much especially how to work well as part of a team. I learned the importance of communication while working as part of a team for it work at full potential.
The importance of how to work well under health and safety and working safely Can have an impact on work collegues.

Cleaner (part-time) (Former Employee) – Cork – 21 February 2019
It's the worst company I have ever worked for, expect so much from us in a building of over 800 and only 4 cleaners.. Theres no thanks for anything you do just more and more grief

Horrible mostly
Cleaner (Current Employee) – Dundalk, County Louth – 10 November 2018
Its a circus. In worst way. Main thing paperwork have to be perfect, horrible managment. Poor communication and if have something thats mostly given out. Looks like they mission to keep emloyers very down. Cut hours, less money, more and more expectation.Really i could not tell too many pros. Maybe the cheap warm food and free gym.Faulty and old equipments, people who are living, (often happen, might have reason)will be not be replaced.Jobs will shared between remained workers. Bad treatment, bullying etc... as much as you work harder as much as they gives you more and more jobs less pay and no thanks. If you are a great actor, actress you can work pretending, its your place and you probably will like it for a while.. Otherwise keep yourself away.
Pros
Cheap warm food, free gym
Cons
Not enough place to tell
Sodexo has high expectations and flexiabilty from its employees
General Services Manager (Current Employee) – County Limerick – 19 September 2018
Working for Sodexo, you gain a wide range of experience, stretched to your limits, you'll learn on the job everyday. The workplace culture varies according to where your posted and your contract your tied into. The most enjoyable part of the job is that no two days are the same and the hardest part of the job is the expectation that you can fix everything for the client while cutting costs and making savings which they couldn't make for themselves when they were managing the service directly. Hours can be long
Pros
Variety of work, learn lots
Cons
Work is hard
carer
Carer (Former Employee) – Cork – 20 April 2018
So called "Business Manager" practically begged me to attend for job interview (and not go to another location/manager) then didn't even know my name when I got there. At one point in the chat (not what you might consider an interview) was offering me the job for day or nights but then thought of another job she thought I could do but then remembered she had offered that to someone last week! Then she said no position for me cos no FETAC cert and if she had even read the CV would have known that and it was not specified in the advert. for the online job. Got the impression no genuine respect for their staff.
Empresa boa de trabalhar e dinâmica

Miserable place to work
Catering Assistant (Current Employee) – Ireland – 2 March 2018
Very bad management.
Poor communication with staff.
Sodexo are more concerned with filling out their paperwork than the welfare of their staff.
Too much emphasis on ticking boxes than doing the right thing by their staff.
Kitchen porters treated very badly.
Although the staff try to create a good atmosphere to work in most of the time the morale is low.

Food and Beverage Assistant (Former Employee) – Limerick – 13 November 2017
Employees cleaners, security and porters fantastic.. The chefs not so much. Constant arguing and talking behind each other's backs. Not allowed to be sick, getting calls on your days off. Sometimes working 10 nights in a row. Called in to cover a morning after working nights. Management an absolute joke actually haven't a clue only care about themselves office workers and chefs everyone else aren't important. The money is a joke too I wouldn't bother.
Pros
Food
Cons
Barely any break, no sick days expected to cover all shifts.
