Good company to work for, benefit wise. Their pay structure was off-balance.
supervisor/warehouse (Former Employee), Jacksonville, FL – March 28, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: having your money played with
Energetic and productive day of inventory control and customer satisfaction of order process and loading trucks. Team spirit was high, but pay structure brought down overall team morale. Hardest part was the physical labor; most enjoyable part was the collaboration of man-power and team work to see a job well done.

Incredible supportive management team and all pro safety
Director Safety, Loss Prevention, Risk Management (Former Employee), Miami and West Palm Bch of Florida – March 10, 2013
Pros: management support which was second to none.
Cons: the traveling
Director safety, Loss prevention, Risk management and workers compensation. Review all the above entities with management team and associates. The learning experience was a constant educational structure. Management support was the best ever experienced by a company and there was constant accountability. Co-workers were really concerned about themselves – more... and there co-workers.
Hardest part of such position was a schedule of 24/7
Most enjoyable was teaching 700 associates on a monthly basis and teaching all new associates, This company was respected tremendously by myself because of their awareness of what asset protection meant as far as saving revenues and protecting there greatest asset, the associate. – less

productivity with the coworkers
Warehouse Supervisor (Former Employee), Poway, CA – March 9, 2013
Pros: good benefits
Cons: there was not really any cons
A day at Sysco was different everyday. It was not, as if it was the same issues all the time. I was taught a lot on managing people and getting the most out of them. I found, if you would treat the employees the way that you would like to treated, you would get more productivity out of them. Seeing that happen was the most enjoyable

Good money, but management will stab you in the back to save a $
Warehouse order selector (Current Employee), Louisville, KY – March 9, 2013
Pros: good bunch of coworkers, great money, great benefits

Cons: when I started we would get a bonus for 1 error per 3000 cases picked and they would double check to see if the errors were made by you or someone else, now it's 1 in 7000 & they don't check to see if it was your mistake. We work 50 hour work weeks generally on 3rd shift, so family life – more... is reduced to Friday & Saturday. Working third shift means sleeping through a lot of the time your family is awake as well. The loaders pay was cut by about 25% this year, and the order selectors are pressured to pick 200+ cases per hour. The management (@ least in KY) seem to possess the ability to change attendance policy, bonus rate, and production quotas @ will without notice. Somehow the Sysco warehouse in which I work has more 50 inch flat screen TVs than a sports bar, but can't afford to offer a bonus that is achievable or to hire enough people to get us down to 45 hours a week. We are doing as much work as last year, but are being squeezed like we're going out of business. I've become a slave to the 50,000$ a year & all other aspects of my life are suffering as a result. Cohesion & friendship between employees is high, but morale is miserable. – less

Hard job, good people, great benefits
Delivery Driver (Former Employee), Wichita, KS – March 3, 2013
Pros: great pay and benefits
Cons: hours, stressful at times, you are always tired including when not working
-Work days are ever changing because no one orders the same day after day so your hours will always change not saying its bad it just happens.
-Managers do their best to work with you to help you get your job done.
-Co-workers are very helpful when needed though this is more of a solo job if you are not a self motivated person you will not make it.
-Hardest – more... part of the job is the physical nature of the job you do get used to it but until you do you will be very sore and very tired after a day of work.
-The most enjoyable part is the people you meet and the fact that something different happens about everyday.
-Typical work day starts at 4am ends when you are done so that could be noon or 8pm – less

excellent compensation but no social life
wareouse operations (Former Employee), plympton ma – February 19, 2013
Always made 40hrs and fair wage but the physical toll on your body working nights and heavy lifting makes this a short term job along with the very few opportunities to advance

Sysco supplied me with the opportunity to prove I can excel in sales!
Marketing Associate (Former Employee), Des Plaines, IL – February 19, 2013
Pros: had a flexible schedule
Cons: i was still held accountable for my sales quota, regardless of where i spent my time. i learned to manage my time wisely, and this was all before i had 3 children!!!
I was in outside sales and thus had the freedom to get out and about, but yet I was held to high expectations as to what I was to sell per week, and it was a challenge! I did well - I fully respected my boss, learned from her, and worked well with my customers. As I firmly believe, people buy from people they like, and I always tried to sincerely "like" – more... my customers, to find them interesting, so they in turn would like me as well. – less

LONG LABOR INTENSIVE HOURS, UNCARING/SUPPORTIVE MANAGEMENT, ALL ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE.
Delivery Driver (Former Employee), Olathe, Kansas – February 18, 2013
Pros: mix rush hour traffic by leaving at 4:30am
Cons: drivers paid by cases (only listed on manifest) and miles, ..not actual extra cases (10-20%) moved digging for product., warehouse employees paid by hour...so pushed to cram food into trailers fast as possible, trailers loaded to the ceiling..leaving no place to down stack food looking for correct item, assigned routes...changed without telling driver. management uncaring, deal daily with upset customers because of high driver turn over.
Unless desperate for job and in Olympic athlete shape...job will tear your body down. Cameras in truck cab watch your every move. Driver always GUILTY until proven INNOCENT when customer calls into complain. Management play favoritism with drivers who brown nose....but in a way (you can not prove) to protect themselves. 18 years...nothing changed...finally – more... said enough is enough. – less

Sysco
Marketing Associate Trainee (Current Employee), Geneva,Al – February 14, 2013
Pros: make your own schedule.
Cons: micro managing and bad compensation
When i hired on at Sysco things were different. Soon after i got hired the vehicle allowance was cut, commisions were cut, the pension was cut. All of the things that made the job attractive when i got hired were all cut 4 months after i got hired. I would not suggest going to work for Sysco.

Will be sorry
Driver (Former Employee), Desplaines Illinois – February 12, 2013
They pay you great hourly work lots of hours.
But u body will pay for it.The physical labor there is not for
normal people; It is for animals; Managment do not care about driver just to empty their truck with over 15000 lbs tha you carry in to the restaurants or stores.u only have so much time to do each store and u are always watch by supervisors that – more... are eating or sleeping on their car. Not to mention the Video cameras in their trucks to watch u every move.
so much more to say but u go there u will find out why they are always hiring.
Was there for over a year never late always finish before my 13 hrs schedulle work.
then they claimed the camera in truck showed I did something wrong and without any regard I was let go.
Once again GREAT PAY ;U WILL WORK FOR EVERY PENNY AND 100%
U WILL GET HURT EVEN FOLLOWING ALL THEIR SAFETY STEPS.
EVERYONE THERE IS UNHAPPY BUT THE EVIL MONEY KEEPS THEM THERE.
GOOD LUCK – less

SyscoSucks – March 24, 2013

Will be sorry is correct. My advice to you is look elsewhere for a job besides Sysco. Management cares only about their bonuses and how many stocks they can acquire before retiring rich, while the workers struggle everyday to survive.My opinion is that SYSCO SUCKS
