Chaos - Bar Staff Sodexo Live Employee Review

Lots of room for growth within the company.

Union contracts can be time consuming

I was so excited and proud to work here for the first few years…the values are strong and there are hundreds if not thousands of impressive people here.

and then there was a CEO transition that drove a cultural change that ruined that. It took a year or so plus bad financial outcomes for her weaknesses to make it down the ladder but they did. First of all she just started hiring her old friends from past roles. The club in Denver couldn’t be more obvious. Then she started chanting mottos and motivational quotes and trying to build strategy around them that no one understood (transform and perform!). Clearly the leadership team has worked their way up for the ego and not to be inspirational leaders. We have to literally watch them perform on stage, dancing, singing, and it’s all main character syndrome. Meanwhile the rest of the employees don’t see what value they bring to the table other than maybe the ability to speak publicly. It’s become toxic, no one knows what they’re meant to do and corporate leadership is about the worst I’ve ever seen at mentoring and actually leading. It was great for so long but genuinely dove off a cliff with the current ceo.
