Sysco reviews

Everything No work life balance, the unwritten expectation is to be on call and work 24/7 You are held accountable for other people’s mistakes. If routing does not deliver and the customer leaves Sysco, you are the one who pays for it, because you hold the negative. Same for merchandising, pickers, and periscope pricing. The other departments aren’t out to get you, but if a mistake is made the finger points to you. So in short, you are at the mercy of other peoples decisions. You have no control, you can only contact the people who do and wait for a response. The one thing we could control (prices) has now moved to revenue management which require an email begging them to give you a price. Underpaid! You already don’t make much but then they introduce incentives for customers… well rebate money comes out of your GP dollars. If you are currently working for Sysco take a look when your customer cash’s in on the rebate. A negative will appear on your sales. Greedy company - Sysco has record profits, but “we’re suffering”. Sysco introduces incentives and makes you pay for it, while not telling you about it. Periscope is designed to keep prices high to maximize profits. Every exception is a fight and will be dropped the following week. Our holiday boxes have gone to garbage, breakfast at GSM’s is the lowest quality we have, we have less sales reps and lower salaries. Keep the stock holders happy with profits. Lastly - so many boxes to check, your day of selling and meeting customers has turned into sending emails, doing paper work, scheduling through salesforce, and begging for prices. Your day revolves around the computer and every so often they add a new thing to your plate. Not to help you, but to micromanage and monitor you.
