US Foodservice Employer Reviews

I enjoyed working for this company and I would go back. There could be some changes enforced when it comes to management and their lack of involvement. I did enjoy the co-worker I became team player with and the hard work they provided was a positive for me.

I have worked in various fields, most with little or no experience going in but all with success. Managing and working along side others is my most enjoyable attibute of all my jobs, seeing and know what the goals are and reaching them.

I would make 15 to 20 calls a day. I will normally visit most accounts and phone the others if needed. I worked with good team members who would help each other out. I learned time management and working smarter for best results. The hardest part of the job was making sure you were spending your time wisely. The management was good and there was little – more...  micromanagement. It was generally fun and I when I got home, I know I had worked a full day. – less

from early am til 6pm- you are in constant demand.calls,deliveries and placing orders.great oppurtunity to meet lots of good industry individuals.

It was the job to get in the area. I was very proud to finally get in. Then everything changed ,iincluding the management

A typical work day would be all work employes would get together stretch before our work shift and laugh and tell jokes it was a great atmosphere that went throughout the work day. Ive learned a lot of work ethnic and it taught me to be self motivated and work hard to reach my goals.

12hours a day ..... No advance ......has become very bottom line

I loved my job at USFood Service. It allowed me to work hard no matter what was going on in my personal life. Unfortunitly I was sick and didnt know it, my time slowed down I was fired. I had cancer and didnt know. I was operated on. Took years for me to heal but I'm all better know. Healthy as a bull and ready to work. I would LOVE to have my job back. – more...  PLEASE help me be an ORDER SELECTOR again. – less

I worked for the Nashville TN branch as the terminal supervisor. I was managed by people based in Alcoa TN (Knoxville). They wanted to use me as a strike buster in areas outside Tennessee where they had union drivers. I was told to be ready on 12 hours notice and jet off to who knows where to deliver groceries during a strike for an idefinite amount – more...  of time. The clown that was the VP of Ops in Alcoa was arrogant and cocky. He couldn't keep people under him. Since I left there in 2010 I have seen numerous ads to fill that position. As far as I can tell the whole company works this way. – less

US Foods offer great oppourtunities to grow, educational program and advancement in work skills, 5 years with this company has been a great experience.

This place is all messed up.When you work for a place this strenuous, positive work place is key. Not to management, it's cut throat for management bonuses. They will shut you down 30 minutes from home{happened multiple times} and have you get a hotel when your out of hours as long as it's one less problem for them to deal with. Tell you about a referral – more...  bonus but then tell you it didn't fall in there guidelines. Ask you to come in between 2 and 4 in the morning, you get there and your truck is being used for shuttles.Give you sick days and personal days but when you go to use them, they're always shorthanded.Only 3 guaranteed holidays a year. Always threatened to be written up/terminated for the littlest things. Very high turnover rate. in 9 months span, estimated they hired at least 30 drivers, at least 20 have left already.some last a day,a week,some a month. But they all got fed up eventually. not a lot of opportunity to make good money at first as you will be doing clean up duties{No set route}. – less

work day around 10-12 Hours

I learned the value of sharing the same core values as your customer base

Management was somewhat unstable- quite of bit of turnover

Co-workers were mostly energetic and helpful

Hardest part of job was having to rely so much on internal employees to accomplish customer satisfaction

The most enjoyable part of the job – more...  was the competiveness amongst peers – less

Deliver food to different stores using a tractor. Pre and post trip inspection, paperwork.

Management is the worse...They make a killing of your accounts and pay you pennies. Corporate asss kisser employees always with their nose up managements asss hoping for promotion

exec mgmt team all transplants, w/no realistic picture of northeast market...very impatient, massive micromanaging...

At U.S. Foodservice, service level, safety, speed, and the ability to pay attention to detail was the key. A typical day at work consisted of driving a dual pallet jack down aisles and pulling and stacking groceries all while talking into a headset that gave you the proper amount of quantity needed for each item. You also had labels for every item that – more...  was recited via the headset, which helped to verify that the employee was choosing the right item and placing them on the correct pallets. After finishing a batch, you would drive onto the dock area, where you would seperate the pallets, wrap them tightly, then park them near the dock correct dock door to be loaded onto the proper trailer for delivery. You got paid based on your Service Level (Picking Correct Product), Speed (Production based incentives), and overall ability to maintain a certain pace due to the fact of working 6-12 hours shifts Sunday-Thursday. You were able to be yourself while working as long as you were safe, doing your job, and being respectful to your fellow co-workers and members of management. We were allowed to have radios at the dock doors so as you were coming in and out of aisles you were able to hear some of your favorite songs throughout the night, which kept you motivated and energized. It wasn't the easiest job due to the constant picking up and placing of products ranging from 1-100lbs on pallets throughout the night. Not to mention having to walk fast around the pallets while carrying shrink wrap to maintain a tight grip on your groceries as they were to be loaded onto their proper trailer. – less

A good place to work in food distribution, great environment, friendly atmosphere.

A company and seems to care about employees, and still make a profit. Enjoyed working there, and wish I had never left.

Rewards their employees with great pay, plenty of vacation, personal, and sick time. US Foodservice is a very employee friendly company, but in return productivity must be achieved at all times.

If possible would rejoin the Us Food service team, Very professional management, procurement, and communication from customer service.
