Excellent Company, Going Through Changes

Pros

The people within Sysco are amazing. Great on boarding and seem to really care about the well being of their employees. Good work life balance. However, I think that balance should also be self monitored. If you allow yourself to be overworked, any employer will take advantage.

Cons

The company seems to be the biggest and most successful in the industry but the mentality needs to change. Now Sysco needs to focus on how to stay at the top while out performing other distributors. The management at all levels seemed to be complacent and comfortable.

Pros

Flexible schedule, great support team, excellent pay, raises/bonuses entirely up to you, good benefits, 401k, stock options, mandatory vacation time, working in different restaurants and talking with people all day

Cons

Lots of driving, training is sink-or-swim, sales is what you make of it- no one sets your salary but you, others will complain about management or "corporate" decisions, but each marketing associate is running their own small consulting business. Your success is based on no one but yourself.

The most unorganized company I have ever worked for.

Pros

Good pay and lots of hours. Drivers work really well together. They are like family and do not want to see you leave

Cons

It's a revolving door for employees. Every driver hates it and only stay for the money. Management does not care about any of the drivers. To many layers of management , so you never know who to turn to for help on anything. Management will at times tell you to work beyond hours of service or drive time. The equipment is always breaking down. They have a high CSA score also. Trailers are never cleaned out so it's embarrassing to go pick up a backhaul (if the backhaul will let you pick it up). If your in a shuttle yard expect everything to be the worst especially the equipment .
