Pros

Working for a well recognized public company. Offered decent compensation and good benefits. Finance Department was very friendly and willing to help.

Cons

No work life balance. Have to work on holidays and pretty much on Saturdays. Sometimes you are asked to do more work then you can handle, even if you have made comments to Management regarding the issue.

Pros

The job is good if you've never had a sales job, or are looking to get out of the kitchen. Good job if your fresh out of college.

Cons

Job is a waste of time if you have sales experience, as your doing more tasks to please local management, then actually selling. You will spend hours inputting information, and burdening your customers about trying to get information that corporate wants. Horrific way of selling, which explains why they continue to lose market share. I would not work at Sysco again if given the chance.

Out of touch

Pros

Decent Pay, Decent benefits, lots of training

Cons

Out of touch with the industry, their customers, and their sales force. The only people they care about catering to anymore is the stockholders. They micro manage sales people to death with constant CRM management, planned daily sales calls, with management just "randomly" dropping in to your planned calls to check on you. They believe cut costs anyway they can, and when you think they can't get any cheaper.... they do it again. They complain about losing market share, and then hamstring their sales people by taking away the ability to use samples, stop allowing specialists to work in the field (due to not wanting to pay their vehicle expenses), and even dont let district managers work in their districts for the same reason. They try to convince customers that Sysco has the best customer service when they have the worst of all of the foodservice suppliers by far. They literally will do the absolute least a customer will allow them to get away with, and then even if a customer leaves over it, they still won't do any more to win them back.
