Pros

Diversity Fast paced environemnt Intensive sale training Operations, credits, and purchasing departments are relatively efficient Good experience in sale and customer services.

Cons

The sale team is always last to know when changes have been made. Ironically, the sale team is the one who deals with customers yet they are always the last to know when changes have been implemented. Ruining the relationships with customers drastically. Management rely their informations on certain indivduals who do not necessary represent the entire group. Departments within are not running efficeintly since too many employees are afraid to be resposible for any mistake. Sale Management promote individuals who are extremaly eager to please the upper, even though they have poor work ethics. Insecurity is a big issue with the sale management group.

Pros

- Good people around -lot of learning opportunities -stable company -Flex time schedule -bonus package - lot of ppl with over 10 years, 15 years with SYSCO

Cons

- Long working hours. Project takes priority over everything. -Terrible benefits: less 401k, less health benefits premium match - Terrible time -off policies, you are supposed to work over the weekends but you won't get any time offs, if you get any flex time off, management has put around lot of policies around to discourage employees from using those. - Terrible vacation policies. -Similar to the time off, lot of policies around fiscal year's bonus. Company makes a profit of $400 million each quarter, but very reluctant to share profits - 2% annual raises for most of the ppl. if you work extremely hard AND also recognized then 3% may be.
