Fifo Attendent
Customer Service Attendant (Former Employee) – Pilbara WA – 1 June 2019
You work 77 hour weeks throughout the year to earn 38 hours worth of holiday pay. Same with superannuation, it’s paid at 38 hours a week despite working double that. No penalty rate for working outside of sociable hours (including Christmas Day, Easter, etc.) apparently that’s included in your wage. Other wise this would be a minimum wage job. You’re away from your family for 2 weeks at time
Pros
Work colleagues who suffer with yoy
Cons
Pay, lazy managers, no work life balance, treated poorly by clients and anyone above you
sodexo has a great culture and the majority of the team are great people
House keeping and maintanenece (Former Employee) – Balcatta WA – 23 April 2019
work was hard but worth it due to the great atmosphere and the people around you, although management was tough to deal with at times and some supervisors where in over there heads
Good Company
HEAD Chef (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 23 April 2019
If your willing to work you are able minimal cap on overtime.
Upper management sub standard. Great family vibe at ground level. Recognition for efforts are not often enough but still a great feeling

Sous Chef/Head Chef (Current Employee) – Perth Central Business District WA – 3 April 2019
Good company to work for and develop your carrier. Always have opportunity to transfer to other dept. Or other position within the cam or company. Good pay rate.
Worst company in the world!
Carpenter (Former Employee) – Easy Pilbara – 14 March 2019
I worked for Sodexo for 3 years. In this time I haven’t seen 1 training course as promised at the start, only people from the office who come up a day that yes training is coming....
wages are the worst in the Pilbara in all departments.
I’ve never heard any positive feedback from management, supervisors or anyone in my time here.
They have people come up and do presentations on customer service and basically tell us not to be negative. Well Sodexo, have a long hard look at the turnover of people and maybe you’ll realise that un qualified people telling qualified people who to work does not work.
Do you self a favour if you work for Sodexo. Leave.
Safety doesn’t exist. Incidents are kept quiet and fear is used to keep the weak inline.

Pros
When you leave, the next company will be better!!
Cons
2-1 roster. Nice gym.
Preach safety but will treat you like a criminal if you report any incident.
Bus Driver (Former Employee) – Christmas creek wa – 23 January 2019
Be quiet, invisible and submissive and you will be ok. Push more and more work on everyone and receive minimum wage.
If you speak up about issues your not happy with, you will be shot down in flames.
I was made out to be a liar and a trouble maker for reporting something unsafe. Management had me in tears 3 times on a week.
I didnt hesitate to resign

Cons
Liars & People With NO INTEGRITY !
Run and don’t look back
FM (Former Employee) – Queensland – 6 November 2018
Critical roles are handed to internal staff from other departments with zero background experience, poor work ethic and no education or intelligence and those with experience are treated like outcasts for actually having a clue. So long as you’re in the circle of what could only be the worst possible group of people I have ever had the misfortune of working with you won’t have any issues. Staff in leadership roles completing jobs whilst unlicensed, safety rules are breached and swept under the rug. Mandatory daily breath tests aren’t completed by certain staff regularly as they would fail most days. There is no genuine acknowledgement of good work ethic or dedication, and honest mistakes are responded to with micro managing and bullying. Even the client rep was belittled mercilessly by these incompetent people. Staff turn over is incredibly high, and for good reason.
Pros
Zero
Cons
I took the job
Worst employer i have ever worked for
Facilities Management Coordinator (Former Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 31 August 2018
Middle/lower management mostly have no idea what they are doing, the ones that do don't stay for long. Progression opportunities are given to those with poor work ethic, and an alarming lack of general knowledge, let alone education or intelligence - it's a case of 'it's not what you know, it's who you know'. There is no genuine acknowledgement of good work ethic or dedication, and honest mistakes are responded to with micro managing and threats of termination. Staff turn over was massive when I was there, and for good reason. They also claim to be environmentally responsible (this is depicted with images of agricultural crops = fail!) and to acknowledge traditional land owners, yet one of their biggest clients happens to be one of Australia's largest open cut mining operators! Never again. I'd rather eat out of rubbish bins than work here again!
Pros
None
Cons
Abysmal excuses for managers
You're nothing but a number
Service Assistant (Former Employee) – Perth WA – 23 August 2018
Long hours, not so good pay, get treated like a 2nd class citizen, if doing FIFO you will realise everyone else gets the good stuff before you do. For example you will get a small room for 1 year before an upgrade, whilst there could be rooms available for you to upgrade into.
A good job while it was there
CONSOLE OPERATOR, SODEXO (Former Employee) – Pheasant's Nest, Hume Hwy Northbound NSW – 23 May 2018
My experience with working for Seven Eleven was a bit of a mixed bag, unfortunately the manager was not too into letting you know when you had done something wrong, which led to the loss of work hours without me knowing why.
The pay was alright, but without shifts to back that up it simply became nonviable to continue working there.
This having been said, I wholly approve of the management at Sodexo itself. I had no issues with them, they were courteous and professional at any times I was to deal with them.

Cleaner (Former Employee) – Pilbara WA – 27 March 2018
No reward for hard work and staying sober.if you are purple circle your mates will let you blow numbers and go to work putting everyone else at risk. Saw this many times.no regard for fatigue issues.worked site cleaning in a team of 4.only 3 had a licence..company policy was you had to have one.
No respect at all.some people worked to bone others get to cruise on and the gossip and backstabbing was incredible.

Good company to work for
Approved Manager/ Bar-utility-fifo (Former Employee) – Newman WA – 26 March 2018
I enjoyed working for Sodexo and would go back if the right job came up. Only reason I left was because I broke my leg on my week off. They were long days but well worth it in the end. The 2/1 roster was good because it wasn’t too long away. A highly recommended company
Pros
Free food, gym and pool facilities
Cons
No aircon in the laundries
Its Okay
Catering Administrator \ Boardroom Waiter (Former Employee) – Sydney CDB – 16 March 2018
Joining Sodexo was a learning experience in tolerance.
Was not the best culture and was not the happiest time for me or my colleagues, there were some bright spots but not many.
