You have to work for this company to get the comparison.
Sysco is a company that only grows when they buy successful companies. If they were required to only grow organically to satisfy their stockholders, they would be a penny stock.
Sysco will play games with your salary. After 20 years, and after they acquired us, they gave me a job title that wasn't anything close to what I was doing. They claim some HR unintentional thing. Come next review time, they told me I was at the top of my pay band for my job title, which was a job title that paid much, much less than what my previous job title was. So the job title change was intentional, all while requiring me to do the same things of the previous job title.
When interest was expressed to move up higher in the chain, I was told that I 'should get to know the higher-ups better so they knew who I was.' Basically, I needed to know how to play politics in this SNL like farce.
They will also flat out lie to you about their intents and purposes: 'You kick our butt in this region when it comes to selling produce, we have no intention of changing how you sell!' That's a direct quote from their top sales guy during one of the company meetings at acquisition. They went on the completely change how we sell things.
They will ignore advice from people who knew how things worked in the company they acquired, and get rid of everybody that made the company attractive for them to buy in the first place. The end result was systems broke down almost immediately when the people who knew how they worked left. Despite being warned several times they should send people in to learn the network.
They had a data breach because of an internal screw up that left a default password on a off the shelf reporting system that they had a lot of vendor and company information connected to.
Speaking of cybersecurity, they hound all their locations to make sure they stay patched. However, in their corporate location, where all the data and information actually reside, they had (possibly still have) Windows XP and Windows 2000 machines active. Mind you, there's no antivirus security on these machines. When I asked about it, I was told 'this is more of a do as I say not as I do type scenario'.
If you like shady companies that lie to you, play games with your salary, tell you that their surveys are completely anonymous (they aren't), this is the company for you.
