Team Player Enviroment
Team Leader/Supervisor (Former Employee), Desplanes,IL – December 26, 2012
Typical day would be to make sure I have a full staff, pick up work orders to be passed out. Management was real cool and helped in any fashion needed. My co workers were great to work with, we helped each other out. The hardest part was letting go the job.

It was up to me to pay myself raises, by adding new accounts, cuttings to show customers the benefits of using my brand of items. I would also demonstrate new items that would fit into my customer menu and adding more revenue to their business. I worked from my home so being dedicated to my job to start early so I could talk to my customers on their – more... schedule and not when they were busy, My highest gross income was $65,000.00.

Good place to work if you like to work hard long hours.
Driver, marketing associate (Former Employee), Chicago – December 11, 2012
Pros: good pay at least during most of the year.
Cons: overwork. management
Management needs help. Most supervisors expect you to do work they either cant or wont do. They use write ups as a threat to make you over work then fire you if you get hurt citing unsafe work practices caused by you trying to keep ip with their delivery schedule more set up by routers that have never been in a truck ir to the delivery sites. As a former – more... driver and marketing associate there i have experianced this company from multiple sides and would say if you are going to do foodservice work it is probably the best to work for out if all of them but you should look for a better career elseware. – less

Save your time
Route Driver (Current Employee), Suffolk VA – December 5, 2012
Pros: friendly drivers
Cons: all of the above
Unless you enjoy working 12-17 routes daily and running to stay on time this job probably isnt for you. Management does not care about employees nor willing to help you when needed. The drivers are about the only plus side of the job because while supervisors play games on the computer in the office while you are struggling you may have a few drivers – more... willing to come help. Your home life is non exsistent and you get your message around 8-9 telling you what area and time you are needed to come in (early as 2:00) and they want you te be there 30 prior to your start. So not only are you pulling 12-17 hour days but required to do so off on around 3-4 sleep. The only positive thing is the pay is good but when you factor in all of the above it isnt worth it. Do yourself a favor and keep looking! – less

Good place to work.
Night Order Selector (Former Employee), Poway, CA – November 26, 2012
Pros: discount on some good food.
Cons: its not a 9 to 5 kind of job.
The hour rate is very good. You also have Union benefits. the hard part about here is that you get off when the work is done not at the end of your 8 hours.

Recent events change my overall opinion of the company
IT Anaylist (Current Employee), Houston – November 5, 2012
Pros: great coworkers, benefits, chalenging work.
Cons: layoffs
For years was one of the best places to work, they cared about their employees and the employees cared about Sysco. The emplyees knew how the system should work and could maintain it through intrinsic knowledge, documented knowledge and personal commitment. Recently the company decided to lay off a large portion of its IT department for "cost savings". – more... The are now paying an Indian contractor to hire more people to do teh same job, but with no knowledge of the Sysco systems. This is not saving money, it is hiding cost; it cannot help customers becasue the people taking over have know knowledge aboutHOW teh system works, IT is more than just systems, it is enabling a copany to succeed through technology; meaning people are a major factor. The company appears to have forgotten this. – less
