Sysco Corporation Employer Reviews

Sysco is the largest food distributor in North America and is going through a massive business transformation with SAP. Its a rapid paced organization that is centralizing many of their business processes into a Shared Services Center.

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.

1- Walking the floor to see where workers is placed, Making changes,setting up my day ,I'm the last one to leave. 2- shipping & receiving, 3- Keep money & checks to deposit daily, Safety ops, Hand out paper work, Account for pallet control (bad & good wood daily). 4- Made sure work wood get done. 5- Hand held computer made my job hard. 6- Being there – more... over ten years. – less

I enjoyed working at Sysco I learned alot and would have stayed there if Ihadnt left to open my own business. The people were fun to work with

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. At the time my terittory was in the Upper Peninsula, from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan, The customers base was quite large. – less

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

I have learned alot of excel in the past two years. Management here a Sysco is great overall. The hardest part of the job is the analitical part of it. The most enjoyable part of it is the accounting side of it.

SYSCO, PFG , US FOOD , DICARLO FOOD ,,,,, JB HUNT,,,,IS BAD DRIVER COMPANY,,,,AWAY LOOKING FOR DRIVER BECAUSE DE QUIT,,,,THE JOBS IS CRAZZY WORK AN IS NOT A PLACE TO RETIREMENT 4 O 5 WEEK OF WORK YOU WILL QUIT,,,,,, DONT TRY......I WORK IN DOES COMPANY IS NO GOOD,,,,

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

Management is clueless and is not clear who is running the company. Their practices are outdated, they do not promote from within and their is

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.

The perfect high paying job for a young individual with no college degree.

Sysco has been very good company for me to work for the past 25 years but they will be downsizing ther IT staff the first of the year

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

I have worked for Sysco for nearly 24yrs and unfortunatley with a business decision several positions were eliminated. I loved working for Sysco and had planned on retiring from there.

sysco is a great place for employment. as far as money, scheduling, benefits, etc. the company is the best i had ever worked for.
