Pros

Get to sample products to customers. Food brokers can be helpful to making your goals. Benefits package was decent for the cost.

Cons

I’ve always been skeptical of these reviews however, Sysco sales jobs are always available here because it’s a an exercise in crisis management and less about building customer relationships which is the whole point of being a sales ‘consultant’. My sales manager was a hot mess, completely disorganized, unsupportive, inefficient and seemed to be a ‘box checker’ for the higher ups. Lots of time is wasted on useless meetings during which you’ll watch an inspirational video or 2 and discuss why you haven’t sold the priority product of that particular week. You will put ridiculous mileage on your vehicle driving all over the place to put out never ending fires and the allowance won’t come close to covering the true costs. Unfortunately for customers and sales people, Sysco seems to suffer due to its size and lack of customer support. Hopefully they can figure it out and get the trucks loaded properly. I would avoid unless you’re out of options.

Pros

I've enjoyed my time with Sysco. Local management team really seems to care about employees. It is so easy to believe in the products and services. We are #1 for a reason!

Cons

Far too many things on my to-do list to ever feel accomplished. Always a new objective to add to the pile. Some feel like busy work.
