Fast paced environment.
Fork Op, Order Picker. (Current Employee), Regina, Sk. Canada – February 7, 2013
Pros: good pay, benefits.
Cons: management, hours, job security.
Poor management, favoritism, little regard for customers or low end employees. Only concern seems to be about efficiency(numbers) & not the safety/ well being of the worker. Inadequate training with regard to operating systems. Unable to approach managers with safety concerns or job related issues. Unreasonable expectations in regard to work performance – more... or ability. Unable to understand I.T. personnel who seem to lack the ability to speak the English language & offer little help/support. Warehouse too small to accommodate pallet jacks. Some aisles too narrow for safe fork lift operation. Cracks in warehouse floor & leaky roof are hazards for pedestrians, pallet jack & fork operators. If you're looking for stable, long term employment with little or no stress, then this is not the place for you! – less

High energy and fast paced
Marketing Associate (Current Employee), Lancaster, CA – February 3, 2013
overall good place to work. Benefits are great, co-workers are helpful and supervisors are there to guide and help you if you ask. If your not on top of duties and reports its easy to fall behind. Work is never really over so that can take some adjustments. But over all great place to be if your like to keep on your toes!

You have to sell your soul to work at Corporate
IT person (Current Employee), Houston, TX – February 1, 2013
Pros: the bathrooms are clean
Cons: sr management cronyism
IT dept. is a sweat shop and management is unethical, has no vision and blames the employees for everything wrong with the culture or with their own department. If you have integrity, you will not go anywhere career wise.

The motto "Do the right thing" is realy "SAY the right thing". If you want a career path, you need to "Fake it till you make it".

Selling to Restaurants, schools and nursing homes
DISTRIBUTOR SALES REPRESENTATIVE (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – January 28, 2013
Pros: trying new recipes and foods.
Cons: worked on commission, so you worked all the accounts you could, so getting orders in on time made you work fast.
My territory was mainly in Albany, GA., calling on restaurants, schools and nursing homes selling groceries to these customers.
You had to be organized to call on these customers, presentations skills and customer being happy with products and service. Hardest part of job was getting your orders into warehouse on time and the most enjoyable part of – more... the job was the relationships you had with your customers. – less

Don't believe the fake positive reviews
Marketing Associate (Current Employee), Texas – January 19, 2013
Pros: better than average pay
Cons: everything else
Sysco's culture is seriously messed up. Don't work here unless you like crass jokes, racist and homophobic humor, and screwing people over. Even though this job pays well, it is not rewarding at all. The management is awful, wasteful, inconsiderate, and they absolutely play favorites. Their new software is a 4 billion dollar joke. This company is a – more... sinking ship and it's going down fast. – less

Marketing Associate (Current Employee), Philadelphia, PA – January 16, 2013
It has been and continues to be a very challenging place to work.
The greatest part of my time there has been the relationships created with customers and co-workers.

A wonderful company to start your career.
...... (Current Employee), ....... – January 10, 2013
Overall, the company was a great company to work at during my college days. Now as i have worked in various departments, management staff is horrible and they will hire whoever they want and do not even look at how much experience you have or how qualified you are. The company does not offer anything to encourage employees positively. They always say – more... they do not have any money. Sysco is a billion dollar company. NO MONEY!!!!! Really!!! – less

An exciting but fun place to work along with excitement.
Order Selector (Former Employee), Indianapolis, IN – January 3, 2013
Pros: the pros of the job would be the company would treat us to pizza freqently.
Cons: i have to honestly say there wasn't any negative to say.
A typical day would be to clock in, get your equipment (arm scanner); Log in, get your orders for the day and pick them in timely manner. I learned through sysco that you perform your job duties effeciently if you're determined to do so. Managment was awessome, they kept you up to date weekly on your performance.I don't think personally their was no – more... hard part about the job. What I enjoyed the most were the bonuses you would receive upon completion of performing your job duties of working hard. – less
