it’s ok. not the best place to work.
Machine Operator (Former Employee) – Northwood, OH – June 20, 2018
unfair wages, management doesn’t care, my supervisor played favoritism like crazy with other people leaving early when they missed a day. you work hard for nothing in return. people are nice sometimes. team work is a must here. it’s just a paycheck. some people overdo themselves and hurry up and some people do absolutely nothing but check their phones and play around.
Pros
money
Cons
favoritism, unfair wages, long hours
Pay and bonus structure was great at first.
Marketing associate (Former Employee) – Grand Rapids, MI – June 20, 2018
The first year at Sysco was my best. Goals were attainable, bonus levels were reached. I didn’t mind not being paid much for my car or phone. After that first year and the following 3 years at Sysco each year was a new pay structure. They would make goals especially difficult to hit and bonuses were out of reach. They would say the new pay structure was to benefit the sales people but my check got smaller and smaller every year even though my sales increased substantially.
Pros
Food samples and discounts
Cons
Too may to name
Negotiated their way out of the job market.
Delivery Associate (Former Employee) – Norman, OK – June 20, 2018
It started out as a great company to work for. The hourly wages have not kept up with the cost of living. Therefore, leaving the company in a poor position when trying to fill short positions. The benefits have been good as far as insurance, vacations, personal time off, etc.
Over the past 20 years, I've gone thru 9 Transportation managers ( the first one I had for 8 years), and 22 supervisors. The revolving door spins fast at Sysco. Which kills the desire for advancement.

Pros
Plenty of work

high divorce rate
Sysco overall is a good company to work for
Master Data Specialist (Current Employee) – Cypress, TX – June 19, 2018
I would say for a good balance of work/home life Sysco is a good choice. They struggle quite a bit with technology or meaningful steps forward due to their low profit margins, but they try to do their best with what they have. Management seems to care and tries their best to advance your career within the company.
Pros
Work/Home Life Balance
Cons
Compensation, Software
Nice place too work for as constant training was available .
Marketing Associate (Former Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – June 14, 2018
I enjoyed working at SYSCO. The only challenge was the support system was never implemented . Decent communication throughout the company. Could offer more field training then given.
Pros
Great benefits. Fun monthly meetings.
Cons
Upper management will not have your back if a problem occurs.
fun place to work but at thesame time alots of pretend workers
Delivery Driver (CDL) (Former Employee) – Fargo, ND – June 11, 2018
it sound very interesting at the beginning but lack credibility within the top managers.. flexible place to work and very hard to understand workers as everyone tend to be pretentious and hypocrite to new employee
Pros
Good pay
Cons
inconsistence work schedule
Fast passed
Night warehouse selecter (Former Employee) – Billings, MT – June 11, 2018
It’s a really fast passed job always busy. Picking items for trucks to be loaded. Each batch has a time limit to complete. The faster u get a batch done the the more money u can make.
Not recommended
Cleaning Crew (Former Employee) – Pocomoke City, MD – June 9, 2018
Crazy place to work. The third shift is like a jungle. You'll find plastic bags and straws in the bathrooms. Management is very poor. And Lord behold don't have a Dr's appointment.
Pros
N/a
Cons
Drugs in the work place
Great company overall
Professional Delivery Driver (Current Employee) – Orlando, FL – June 6, 2018
Sysco delivery drivers can work long hours. Overall great company to work for but can be very demanding with family life. Work hours change every week with only only set day off.

Marketing Associate (Former Employee) – St. Louis, MO – June 5, 2018
this was a very technical and service oriented business, there was very little customer loyalty and the company was very rigid in product demands and pricing,

very little customer loyalty, also the company was constantly adjusting territories
Decent place to work for
