Difficult place to work

Service Attendant (Former Employee) - Nammuldi - 4 November 2023

Very bad management both at site and offsite I would say. They're more focused on recruiting more managers than utility workers who do the job. Imagine having just two utility workers handling a kitchen that serves 900 people.. Just two people to wash plates, pots,be in the crib room and clean dining area!! Meanwhile 3 or 4 managers walking around making phone calls and drinking coffee. Spent my worst 6months at any job there before I left.

Pros

Salary is fair

Cons

Bad management

Okay place

Utilities (Current Employee) - Perth WA - 29 June 2023

On site, fifo is hard, people are good and management can be nice depending which site. They keep messing up your pay, long 12 hours. Average pay, you get taxed a lot and end up making the same as back in Perth

Toxic Management, pay is always different

HLC (Current Employee) - Mackay QLD - 2 May 2023

The management of Sodexo are a joke. Will force you to work split shifts and never pay the broken shift, pre 7am and post 7pm awards. Absolutely work you to exhaustion for minimum pay. The salary may look good on paper but broken down into hourly rate and obviously working 12 hour days 14 days in a Row it’s absolutely awful pay. Not to mention you won’t fly out till midday on your first day off. Stay away

Pros

Not one thing

Cons

The entire company

Disappointing but thankful for the experience. This company will take its pound of flesh out of you becsuse of management KPIs and bonus's.

Facilities Maintenance Supervisor (Current Employee) - Pilbara WA - 10 April 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Supporting RTIO facilities and communityWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?Due to low balling contracts, have to deal with stingy management and not getting things done for staff and client in a timely manner... frustrating. Lack of discipline and business ethics when dealing with staffWhat is the work environment and culture like at the company?The staff make all the difference. If they trained supervisors properly instead of running around like headless chooks, then a more professional service could be delivered. Sending emails putting down supervisors when the leadership is the guilty party (as not doing their jobs) was humerous especially when the line manager shouldn't have forwarded emails.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Office work and little leadership outside of the office with the trades team. More like a service administrator job disguised as a supervisor job without the pay of two titles....

Happy in my job

Utility kitchen/Housekeeping FIFO (Former Employee) - Argyle WA - 9 January 2023

FIFO can be challenging , not a job if you still need your hand held to get through a day / weekSodexo was a wonderful company to work for , good sites on point with safety & learning , but you need to be self reliant as not everything will go your way & management can’t always be there to help you out,.
