Pros

Honestly can't think of one. Worst job I've ever had. I can only blame myself for accepting their offer.

Cons

I feel bad for the Sysco employees that have to read these reviews. Especially the employees that are responsible for "responding" to the negative reviews with "We're sorry Sysco wasn't a good fit for you". I feel like those employees understand how bad Sysco is, more than the reviewers. I'm sorry you have to feed your family this way, review-responder. Since my enslavement at Sysco, I've left and I've landed an amazing career that allows me time with my family, and pays me very handsomely. I can only thank Sysco for teaching me how much I value myself, my time and my family. Management was terrible. Restaurant owners would never buy from Sysco again if they knew what was going on during PMT pricing. The monthly OpCo meetings are to further indoctrinate employees. If you're happy in sales at Sysco, it's because you can't do anything else. Positive reviews are from zombies.

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.
