Pros

Sysco provides constant training and is always developing new tools to keep the sales force one step ahead of the competition. I feel self employed with all of the supports of a fortune 100 company.

Cons

There is a yearly change of bonus structure that always amounts in a decrease in pay for the sales force. The newest bonus program is impossible to maintain for the entire year if you have a seasonal territory. 90% of our territories are seasonal in Colorado.

Pros

One thing a lot of people liked about SYSCO is they had good benefits. I only paid a few dollars a week for Vision, Dental, and $250k accidental death and dismemberment. (Sounds gruesome i know) Being a night shift selector, I made 17.95/hr which is real good for the area. Bonus was $0.03/case and I could pull about 7k per week. With overtime I grossed about 55k/yr.

Cons

It is HARD WORK as a selector. You cannot do it unless you are in great physical condition. In addition, 1 mistake an you lose the bonus. (understandable for high customer service) . Difficult temperature conditions. (0 degrees F to 85 degrees F).
