What I wish was different

Some of the management’s communication skills!

Working at the Cafe can be a fun experience but is just like any other job. I would recommend doing the marketing internship that helps promote meal plans, and deals with events happening in the cafe.

Barista

August 2017 • Wayne, PA

What I liked

I liked experimenting with different drinks and food items. It wasn't too busy, so I was able to create a lot of different things, which I can't do during the semester.

What I wish was different

I wish that there were more people on campus, especially student workers. Living at the university over the summer got to be pretty lonely.

Advice

Make sure to bring a book to your shift if you are working over the summer. Sometimes, you'll have rushes, so you won't be reading much; however, there were plenty of days that I read. Over last summer, I read 9 books.

Future Summer Leaders Intern

June - August 2019 • Bethlehem, PA

What I liked

I liked the multiple tasks that were given to me and the overall work environment I was in; as it was healthy. I learned a ton about different Public Health measures to take and how to target the elderly population I was working with. I was able to use my developed skills which I learned in classes and apply it to the work that I was creating to benefit the company along with the elderly population.

What I wish was different

I wish that I was given more tools and resources to further my research into the Public Health field. As a Public Health student, I am always looking to advance my knowledge and studies about the ways of which the heath system is changing.

Advice

I would share that Sodexo offered me a great amount of opportunities which has further allowed me to have the confidence to look into jobs which I didn't think I would be able to perform. Sodexo has taught me that any job task can be done when determination is put to it. Job titles and descriptions can be overwhelming, but they can be accomplished as long as you aspire to do well in that career.

Environmental services aid

May 2019 • Pocatello, ID

What I liked

Great coworkers

What I wish was different

The company doesn’t throw a Christmas party, employees are required to do it. The benefits are expensive and cover hardly anything. It’s not a company that works for their employees.

Advice

Sodexo is a great part time job for college students but I don’t recommend it as a full time venture. I’m working here as an in to the hospital setting. You get to know lots of higher ups in the hospital and make lots of connections!
