Pros of working at Aramark

Great pay, clean environment at work place and the benefits are amazing!

Cons of working at Aramark

I really haven’t found any cons of working at Aramark. The only thing it could be is I drive 37 minutes to work, but that’s my choice. The pay makes up for it.

Aramark benefits

Professionalism in the management staff is outstanding. The standards that are in place when hiring individuals are top notch, no riffraff

What do you like best about Aramark's CEO and the leadership team?

When I was hired on at Aramark, I was promised great pay and the benefit package was unbelievable. They stuck to their word and they gave me everything that they said that I would get while working there. They’re honest and display professionalism in every aspect

How would you improve Aramark's culture?

I’m not sure I have any suggestions on improvement

How did you prepare for the Aramark interview?

I prepared for my interview with much confidence and professionalism that I could. Since I’ve always heard great things about working for Aramark I expressed this in my interview, showed them my qualifications . My hiring manager offered me more than I expected, which I was very pleased.

How does your compensation at Aramark compare to the industry average?

Looking at the website and showing the rate of pay in each job title is way more than I expected. They respect their employees and compensate us with benefits and pay rate that I believe is much higher than anything I’ve ever dreamed.

What brings you the most joy at Aramark?

I am a cook and I work at an addiction and recovery center preparing meals for the clients. The quality of food and Aramark provides for us to prepare is top-notch so the satisfaction of seeing the clients happy and enjoying their meals brings joy to my heart . The addiction and recovery facility that I work at allows us to provide quality food, which makes a huge difference inthe clients happiness and stay at the facility.

Pros of working at Aramark

The staff and client.

Cons of working at Aramark

Management. Seems that they do not like to compliment the employee. Will take all the credit when a job is done correctly and have no issues placing blame on anyone but themselves when a job does not go exactly a planned. They always seem to find a scapegoat. Next level up management does not seem to care nor have the backbone to step in and correct the problem.

Aramark benefits

There are no perks or benefits. Seems the only ones that get any perks are managers.
