Pros

Great company to work for if you are looking at longevity. Decent benefits. Not hard work really with decent pay (depending on job). Sales and Merchandising is where it is at. Company events, free food and THE PEOPLE you work with day to day are great!

Cons

HR micromanages so if you need to be off when it is unscheduled they are for proof of EVERYTHING! We are all adults and that aspect is something that needs to stop. If the employee has leave then let them be off work! I've seen some underhanded things go on that I rather not be a part of. Not all Sysco houses are the same so do not let it discourage you. I only would not recommend my location to a friend.

Pros

Amazing benefits and opportunities to buy stock per month. Transferring to different locations and states is very easy after 6 months to a year of employment. Training paid for on an annual basis.

Cons

None at this time of entry.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
