Accelerate to Leadership(A2L) Program - Anonymous employee Aramark Employee Review

No training. Let me reiterate, there is no training. The program is designed for the associate district manager and account executive jobs since turnover is high. This program is not for corporate office management roles. The other management roles will be at a facility like a stadium, hospital, resort, etc. Look at the careers section. They really need to change the title of the program, its misleading. You are more likely to receive permanent placement as an associate district manager or account executive. Only the elite (very few) will get a district manager role. If you do well during the course of the year, you can have the opportunity to receive a full-time offer faster than normal(still have to meet the A2L requirements). Beware, it could be a sucker role( if required to move), so learn about the new facility's dilemmas before accepting the opportunity. Once you learn the MCs, you will hear which one's to avoid. Human Resources does a poor job in following the A2L program, once you complete onboarding, you will be left on your own. There are no assigned mentors to receive guidance. Aramark is a stressful, chaotic environment since managers are only concerned with acquiring and keeping accounts rather than providing quality service. The biggest problem of Aramark/AUS is their technology. Its extremely old(from the 80s), and they have been trying for decades to replace it with little success. If you like working in service positions and dealing with customers, then Aramark is for you. If you enjoy stress, confusion, long work hours, increasing demands, frequent layoffs and employee turnover, then Aramark is not for you.
