      Pros

      You get paid Some of the people you work with are amazing and good at there jobs

      Cons

      Long hours and no OT (Really none). There is no real assistance at the start of your tenure at the company. HR Sucks and is no help at all. If the city is on fire you still have to show up to work or its aa problem.

      Unfortunately The Culture Has Changed

      Pros

      Started out as a very positive experience where ability was recognized and rewarded and "work/life balance" was an ethos, not merely a catch phrase. Plenty of internal training and growth opportunities and the local office really had a "family that cares" feel to it despite being 200+ associates at my location. There are still roles at Sysco that don't involve the level of pressure described in the Cons section below so as long as you know what you're getting into, it IS a company that I would recommend. Had I been able to transition to a different role (as opposed to being laid off) I would still happily be there as the vast majority of my colleagues were decent hard working people that gave a damn about our customers and each other.

      Cons

      In 2014(?) an investment group that was known for "right sizing" firms to maximize investor returns gained a controlling share of the Board of Directors and began implementing new 3 year efficiency and growth plans. Unfortunately, a few years later morale started to drop - at least at my location - as we went through several rounds of lay-offs, the training budget was cut, and some job roles were changed without adequate training or resources being provided. Work/Life balance went out the window and 50-60 hour work weeks became the norm with everyone in my role being given a laptop and the expectation that we'd have it with us on weekends so we could do additional work.
