Good benefits, poor management

Pros

Sysco provides a good benefits package including a pension, medical, dental, and vision. There is also a 401k. Sysco is a national company, allowing for possible relocation.

Cons

There is not a good work/life balance, and little tolerance for family needs. There is no good career path. There are more opportunities in Houston at the headquarters, but it is harder to lateral there than it is to hire there from outside. Education is not valued and will not contribute to your career progression/promotability.

Pros

Fairly competitive pay. Interesting and challenging work.

Cons

NO personal life. Expected to work more than 40 hours per week. Viewed as "not a team player" if you arrive and leave on time. NO sick time benefit (if you are sick you must use vacation time). Values are lacking. Pervasive feeling of "nothing is bad if it is good for Sysco".
