Pros

Work/Life balance, Managers are fairly easy going with time offs and work from home options

Cons

Pay scale is below market standards, located at the energy capital of the world, they are really behind on pay and perks For someone looking for personal growth at a fast pace, Sysco is not the place to be at.

Pros

Training is excellent. No complaints on benefits, better than most. Fortune 500 company. I work with great people. There is a "possibility" of a decent income.

Cons

New people with no experience can stumble into a great territory with no effort. Experienced and dedicated people who have accounts that close and have their numbers drop are generally screwed. They say it is all about relationships and service..it is only about opening new accounts. .PERIOD...Doesnt matter if you can keep them/ just get them open. Accounts under pressure from competitors can see huge margin reductions. Sysco keeps the account, YOU lose commision. 80k one year/ 30K the next year. If you drink and golf with the boss you probably will have better accounts fall your way. We have 15 year sales people at 700.00 week! A couple of 70k plus because they were either chosen or lucky. TWO who have earned most of their accounts, but they are well connected in the "hot" part of town. You need 10% margin to try to make any money. I have seen 2% margins that customers refuse because competition price is lower. Huge "buying power" does not translate to better than average customer pricing. Turnover gets worse every year. People who make it to retirement anymore are rare. If you are a sales professional there are a lot better base salaries to be had out there.
