Sysco
A very challenging career.
Sales/Marketing Representative (Former Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – May 23, 2018
I have a lot to be thankful for when it comes to my growth and development, working as a Marketing Associate for Sysco Foods. They have helped me become an all rounded sales consultant / sales representative. Sysco has made it possible for me to be successful in this fast paced, quickly changing, technical world which we live in. The amount of knowledge that I have acquired working here is endless. Even though a balance in work and a home life seemed to be very challenging at times, I am grateful for having been given the opportunity to have worked for this Fortune 50 company. I enjoyed the interaction with my customers and building relationships. I also enjoyed creating needs which helped grow both my customers business and my own.
Pros
The opportunity to give myself a raise each and everyday.
Cons
The endless amount of competitors in this industry.
Sysco a great company to work for, lot of awards, and advancement.

Manager, Supply Management (Supply Chain Manager) (Current Employee) – Houston, TX – May 15, 2018
In my environment, it is the best place to work. I work with a great team and my bosses are awesome. I have learned a great deal surrounding food services and the logistics moving in that industry.
Pros
Environment, team, work responsiblities
Cons
Matrix organization some times can be challenging with working with other people.
They call it constant change but it is really constant chaos and stress
Accountant I (Current Employee) – Houston, TX – May 13, 2018
In general, not a good company to work for. Constant changes to daily workflows and workload. Senior management says the only thing constant is change. It's a euphemism for ineffective, weak, and almost whimsical decisions made by a poor leadership team that has created no end of stress and chaos for the staff that they lead. In order to get promoted, you have to apply for the one or two slots available with a department of 100 people as the company doesn't want to pay higher salaries.
Pros
short commute, nice office
Cons
expensive medical, constant policy and procedural changes
Simply the best
Talent Acquisition Consultant (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – May 11, 2018
Sysco was a fantastic career for me and it is a big shame that I left to join a startup for which at the time, thought was a great opportunity. Unfortunately things did not work out and I regret ever leaving Sysco. They tried hard to keep me but I made the decision to move at the time.
I would go back to Sysco in a heartbeat if the opportunity every arose for me to do so.

Management and policies change constantly in the past few years. Employee Benefit has been reduced in the pass few years.
Very politic, which makes it hard to advance in career within the company.

Delivery Driver (Current Employee) – Missoula, MT – May 8, 2018
I have never worked for a company that literally makes the schedule up as they go. Realize that when the change the schedule for one person on one side of the state it will ripple through and change 5 to 10 more peoples schedule for the week. This company feels a lot of pressure from corporate to keep cost down (employees) so they run with the very minimal number of workers. I have been lied to multiple times just so I would cover other schedules, management is really lacking. Employees literally throwing up in/out the back of the trailers and asked to keep working. Hurt, sick, family emergence, it doesn’t mater. They don’t have the extra employees to cover and won’t hire them. Almost all the high up management is in the late 50’s or 60’s and on there way out, basically doing bare minimum on the moral front for the guys, its pretty sad. In recent month it has been a struggle for them to even hire local drivers because there reputation is getting to be so bad. So if you don’t have kids or a family that you like to spend consistent time with you will be fine here.
Great company
Vice President of Operations (Former Employee) – Boise, ID – May 2, 2018
I worked for many years at Sysco and while I was there, they offered continuous training from top leadership all the way down to frontline supervisors. They promote from within so they always build the bench strength.
Pros
good work culture
Cons
Once you leave, you don't get hired back unless your in sales.
