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

Jobs at Sodexo
Okay place
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

Bad management
Service attendant FIFO (Former Employee) - Karatha WA - 18 May 2023
They take advantage of you. Poor payment for Chefs and Utilities. However, you will find good people to work with, people from everywhere of the world. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
Pros
Free meals and accommodation
Cons
Work overtime, salary, bad management

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 community What 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 staff What 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 / week Sodexo 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,.
Pros
Life experiences
Cons
Nothing really
