27. “I recently interviewed for a career position with Sodexo. Unfortunately I was not the person selected. The hiring manager called me to explain the person selected for the position was a current Sodexo employee who was advancing his career. I was disappointed but I knew that I was right when I applied to Sodexo for a career position. Knowing that if you are currently employed with Sodexo and do well, promotions will come. When looking for a new employer it is important to know how they treat employees. All this has done is make me want to work there even more.”
