Incompetent middle managers make the job difficult.

Pros

The company offers good benefits and training. There are some very experienced people who can teach new employees a lot about the food business.

Cons

This company is very "flavor of the week" and will change focus and direction on a dime. Shareholders are the prime focus to the detriment of employees. Employees are paying the price for failed initiatives and the company has made many cuts that make the job extremely difficult. Unqualified "yes men" who blame their employees for their own failures are promoted to the detriment of the company. Morale is in the basement at this company.

Pros

Pay, no holidays/weekends - - Sysco is a great company to work for except for this department. Most want to leave pricing/costing. All other departments love their position.

Cons

cost of insurance/management/training/consistency - Insurance is very expensive with high premiums, management will either micromanage or completely ignore you. This is a workhorse environment. "training" is telling you the name of the screens in the system and what they do. a learn-as-you-go environment with busywork overload. dont expect help from your coworkers. your manager/supervisor will always be too busy to educate you and most don't want to be bothered. Yet you will sign a paper on day one that says you understand your responsibility making it easy for them to write you up within your first year making it impossible for you to be promoted. If you want to work for sysco do it through another department
