Pros

Continuous On The Job Training Regarding Client Care, Product Knowledge, Competition Review And Analysis, Logistics, Data Entry, and Over All Professional Attitude Towards Fellow Associates for A 33.1-Billion Dollar Company!

Cons

There is a lot of phone time for said Career! You Had Better Have a Smartphone with a TON of minutes on your plan. You must be accessible almost 24-7-around the clock. There is a large amount of stress related to said job due to logistics, refrigeration, competition that is not so honest or true to their word.

Pros

If it is this hard to think of any pros, I guess there really isn't any. At one time this used to be a good company to work for, but as of now, not so much.

Cons

Management… or lack there of… is a problem. Made-up promises would define such. Upper level operations has no clue to what is going on in lower level operations. Expectations are raised and compensation is lowered, seems to be the trend. Poor communication at all levels of the company, and product quality and job performance is suffering. The lack of upward and downward communication will eventually be the end of this company.

Pros

Buyers & Associates were great employee food discounts suppliers & food reps were great to work with Job is fun Impressed with the ability to move up in the company

Cons

expected to work 24/7 - "asked" to be on road 8a-5p, need to be on laptop1st thing in the morning and take care of paper work after 5pm and on weekends. I worked many holidays with normal pay, even though you are told it's a paid holiday.If you work a holiday there is no additional time given in exchange. Must use personal smartphone and are required to have Sysco apps loaded onto it. All expenses are the MA's resonsibility - gas, mileage, office supplie, cell phone, monies spent on customers...MA's must claim this on their taxes at the end of the year. The money is minimal compared to the amount of personal time and out of pocket expenses - TURN OVER IS HIGH
