Pros

Fairly decent company to work for...foodbusiness is always tough. Get good exposure to a variety of suppliers and vendors, and learn a great deal about negotiating. As with every company, there's a lot of good people to work with, and a lot of contacts that I'll keep in touch with for a very long time.

Cons

Not a great work/life balance...company needs to ensure they pay enough to retain the best talent..not sure that's very dfferent at other companies. For the most part they look after their employees, and there's a fair amount of input, although from a budgeting perspective you don't get enough control over your numbers.

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.
