Pros
fun job for the most part, not too stressful... fun getting to know local restauranteurs, quite a bit of personal freedom if you don't get a micro manager but that is a crap shoot. access to lots of great samples and fun products. great co workers.
Cons
no car allowance for sales people! you will run your car ragged, spend a ton of money on gas and get no help from Sysco. also no cell phone allowance even though you are constantly on the phone. usually most of the good accounts are taken and new sales people have to call on smaller customers and wait to inherit good accounts. pricing is too high and in order to sell anything the sales person has to slash their own profit margins. vey difficult to make good money unless you have been there for years. older sales people are lifers as they have all the good accounts.
