Pros

Salary and bonus competitive. Long hours as they are almost a 24 hour operation. Long term employees and room for advancement. Good teams are made. Management listens to employees.

Cons

Holidays arefew and you may end up working. Restaurants are open and as a supplier so are you. Goodold boys club except in sales where you are measured on performance. Higher positions filled by inept corporate staff.

Pros

There are still good people there, but many are overworked and underappreciated; I fear they will not be there much longer. Compensation is good.

Cons

Since the transformation to the new software system did not gone as planned, their recent business decisions reek of desperation; they seem to jump on the first bandwagon that promises any kind of return without considering the possible consequences or if it will even work (e.g., outsourcing IT to a non-English speaking company; moving all accounting functions to Texas to be handled by new-to-Sysco employees that do not have even a basic understanding of how Sysco works). Both of these have taken away from the bottom line rather than added to it, but corporate is too proud to admit their mistakes and we all must live with the results. Management is secretive and, if you are told of something, you can almost guarantee that the exact opposite will happen. The overall work environment today leaves so much to be desired; shortcuts are often taken at others' expense. The unspoken motto seems to have become "as long as it's not on my desk and I can't be blamed for it, I'm fine with it" (it used to be "what is the right thing to do"). If one has a conscious at all, they will have a VERY hard time working here.
