Sysco Market Associate interview questions

District Sales Manager called to set up interview a week after I sent in my resume. Filled out fairly long application when I first got to interview, Interviewed with the DSM and the Regional Sales Manager. They were both extremely nice and asked a lot of basic interview questions. The actual interview took about 45 minutes and then they had me complete a long personality test. Definitely plan on being at the interview for a total of almost 3 hours. The people definitely seem easy going but also hold their employees to a high standard which should be expected. Seems like a great company to work for.

My initial communications with the company came from an existing employee who encouraged me to apply. After applying, I was contacted within 5-8 days via phone with a simple Q/A session. They stated the job description, job salary, requirements and expectations. I was then scheduled for the first of 2 interview sessions. Each interview session consisted of 3, approximately 45 minutes to an hour interview with 3 different Sysco Senior Managers. Very casual in style we discussed my background and professional as well as personal goals. Almost every Senior Manager had a situational questionnaire booklet on the desk but out of the 6 total I spoke with, maybe only half actually used it. While I was not offered the position - I was encouraged to apply again. I plan to do so as 2 of the Senior Managers I spoke with, made it a point to tell me that it took them several application attempts to land a job with Sysco. Very good experience. Looking back - I am glad I was not offered the job because now I know that they are very selective in who they hire. The other candidate just had more qualifications and experience - bottom line.
