Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, onsite gym, even though no cafeteria they do provide a high cost convenience area with snacks/sandwiches.

Cons

Lots and lots of "old boy" mentality, perfectly demonstrated by their leadership profiles and every email showing promotion. Beware of toxic managers who the company and HR allow to run rampant with no recourse whatsoever, even in the face of high turnover and poor management practices. Work/life balance non existent.

Pros

Benefits, but most other company's have the same.

Cons

Upper Management all the way to the top really do not care what the employees have to say, example: all employees took a survey , Sysco Corp was so unsatisfied with what the employees had to say all (especially at the Fremont location) they made the managers talk to us....they ended up having us re-take the survey...same results...Management dose not care what the employees have to say...so sad

Typical corporation. Plenty of good people, but not a good work/life balance.

Pros

The compensation is good...pay & benefits. Good people that ultimately care about providing top-level service & products to their customers. Also, they have locations across North America so you have opportunities to "move up the ladder" as positions become available, if you're willing to move.

Cons

No work/life balance. The culture lends itself to the expectation of 50+ hr work weeks for salaried associates. There have been many weeks that I've worked 60-70 hrs... Not all positions are like this, but most people that have "succeeded" have made significant sacrifices in their personal lives to attain the level they're at with the company. I don't believe this is unique to Sysco. Most large corporations expect a lot from their employees & if someone doesn't want to sacrifice their family life for the company, there's always someone willing to step in their place.
