      Pros

      Sysco has great benefits. Great, ongoing training and support. The people I work with are supportive and fun. My sales manager does whatever he can to support me.

      Cons

      The pay initially is not very good for the level of committment necessary to succeed. There is pressure on sales even though the economy is in the deepest tank since the depression.

      Pros

      #1 Food service company. Sell quality food products. Well known reputation throughout the U.S. Very close sales force. Family oriented. Good marketing support. Your refrigerator will stay packed full of free food through relationships with brokers & restaurants. Good way to build relationships in the community & restaurants.

      Cons

      Horrible pay. 100% commission. No mileage/gas reimbursement. Long, long, hours. Phone never stops ringing even on the weekends. Basically you have restaurant hours, plus the times they are not open. "Will calls" for customers who forget to order items. Prices tend to be a little higher on commodity items (chicken, beef, etc.)

      Pros

      One of the best reasons to work at Sysco Food Services of San Diego is that you can treat your account base as your own business. If you work with your customers on a daily basis, you are not only helping the owners, but you are contributing to the community. You get to watch your customers grow and suceed when you partner up with them. Sysco also offers many different support systems for both the Marketing Associates and business owners.

      Cons

      a downside to this business is that the restaurant and hospitality industry is 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You are also dealing with numerous people that can have a different personality at any given time.
