Pros

Benefits, home daily. Good money. You won't need a gym anymore. You will learn to work around product from accounts that are scheduled at 6am and open at 9am.

Cons

People are written up daily and people fired regularly more than any place I've worked.

Pros

Great benefits packages. 401k matching even if you don't put anything in yourself. Stock options. Great base salary to start. #1 food distribution company in the world. Great in depth training program. As for the job itself, you're compensated based on your performance which I think is fair. It's a job. There is a lot of whining on this site but all in all I'd rather work for Sysco and have complaints than work for an absolutely perfect company and sit behind a desk all day.

Cons

Interview process was ridiculous. Very poor candidate care when it comes to the interview process. Since the company is so huge, it's easy to feel unimportant and expendable.

Pros

great opportunity, great training , great people. This company is the undisputed leader in foodservice distribution, work hard and get rewarded.

Cons

I have heard that some operating companies limit your ability to make money...if you get too much business, they might take some away from you without compensating you.
