Pros

It's a great working environment and a solid, stable company. Sysco does seem to genuinely care about their people. My personal experience was a good one from an employee's perspective. Pay at Manager level and below is below average, however if you can rise to upper level management salaries become more competitive. Great place to get some solid experience at a company that has a great reputation.

Cons

Advancement can be hard to come by, there is a sense that most advancement decision are based on tenure and not qualifications. Pay is lower compare to equivalent positions in other, more profitable industries. Pay in general is lower then other companies you'll find in the area of the corporate office. Being based in Houston, TX Sysco has a hard time competing with many of the companies in the more lucrative oil industry.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
