      Pros

      The corporate benefits are excellent. The medical benefits are the main reason many people stay with Sysco. There are many extremely talented people in this organization who are more than capable of building a more solid, successful company while supporting the community.

      Cons

      As a billion dollar corporation Sysco has the same pitfalls of any major corporation. They continue to fail to utilize the talents and skills of it's exceptional employees. The executive staff is far too concerned with positioning themselves for advancement with the corporate headquarters in Houston, rather than being engaged with it's customers and employees.

      Pros

      Great benefits for my family and great flexibility when you are a sales associate.

      Cons

      Too much nepotism involved. Many in the company are related in some way to the C.E.O. and he influences who advances and who stays and who goes. His family has great job security afforded to them no matter what they do. I respect how he got to his position, but those in his family he protects and creates new positions for when they fail at a current position are definitely irritating.

      Pros

      One thing a lot of people liked about SYSCO is they had good benefits. I only paid a few dollars a week for Vision, Dental, and $250k accidental death and dismemberment. (Sounds gruesome i know) Being a night shift selector, I made 17.95/hr which is real good for the area. Bonus was $0.03/case and I could pull about 7k per week. With overtime I grossed about 55k/yr.

      Cons

      It is HARD WORK as a selector. You cannot do it unless you are in great physical condition. In addition, 1 mistake an you lose the bonus. (understandable for high customer service) . Difficult temperature conditions. (0 degrees F to 85 degrees F).
