Pros

The pay,training and opportunity to advance are great reasons to be employed at SYSCO.

Cons

The product line is so extensive that it takes about 3 years to fully command the job. The prices are not competitive against regional supplies that are non-union organizations. Therefore in a down economy it is very diffulct to sell the value of doing business with SYSCO when the customer is focused on price.

Pros

Sysco has great benefits. Great, ongoing training and support. The people I work with are supportive and fun. My sales manager does whatever he can to support me.

Cons

The pay initially is not very good for the level of committment necessary to succeed. There is pressure on sales even though the economy is in the deepest tank since the depression.

Pros

One of the best reasons to work at Sysco Food Services of San Diego is that you can treat your account base as your own business. If you work with your customers on a daily basis, you are not only helping the owners, but you are contributing to the community. You get to watch your customers grow and suceed when you partner up with them. Sysco also offers many different support systems for both the Marketing Associates and business owners.

Cons

a downside to this business is that the restaurant and hospitality industry is 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You are also dealing with numerous people that can have a different personality at any given time.
