Pros

The only real pro is that the people they hire are nice, in a "fake nice/i'll gaslight you" type of way.

Cons

The training for this job was a joke, it was entirely theoretical, they did no actual practical training (this is NOT legal in hospitality, by the way), and they even made a whole big deal about 'this is where you're working and these are the people you'll work with,' only to introduce me to everyone EXCEPT the people I ended up working with. And now you know why I quit my first day there, because they did not prepare me AT ALL for the work, despite having ample time to do so. I will also now use this time to question their hiring process, as most of the people who were hired alongside me were maladjusted, rude, unacclimated, or barely even spoke English. I was working with people and questioning, 'did they even interview this guy? His attitude is horrible.' I know for a fact all the mandatory training I had to do and all the HOURS of knowledge about safety protocols are from Sodexo, and I can say without a second thought, it's a horrible and inefficient business model and terrible way to manage a business in this industry.

Pros

My direct coworkers and other onsite employees are amazing and some of the nicest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. The day to day responsibilities are enjoyable to work on most days. Company phone provided for work communications during work hours (you don’t have to take them home with you) Free meals on shifts worked (with restrictions) “Set schedule”

Cons

Work life balance is not great. You hire on for one position or schedule and then end up being required to perform job duties that are outside of your description on top of your daily responsibilities. Wages are really low. Unfair distribution of allotted overtime hours. Benefits are not good either. Insurance is really expensive for not great coverage. Maternity leave is only 6 weeks and only 60% of your pay covered by short term disability (that you pay for out of pocket until 2 years of service)
