Pros

Great brand, new building. Some of the people were great. Nice environment to work in. Good food in the cafe. We had a gym but had to pay monthly for it.

Cons

Sysco uses old programs which makes it hard to stand up to the competition. When is the last time you saw a black screen with green serif type? Everyday at work, that's when. The sales team is treated like royalty and the "support staff" (people who work in the building) get treated like dirt. Let's give 400K to the sales team in bonus but in house staff get free lunch on Thanksgiving. Interesting. People tend to get promoted out of their comfort level here, so every single person in management positions are incompetent, rude and cannot manage people. Best part is, HR does nothing about the issue. Neither does corporate. Don't waste your time working for Sysco if you have half a brain.

Pros

Great benefits packages. 401k matching even if you don't put anything in yourself. Stock options. Great base salary to start. #1 food distribution company in the world. Great in depth training program. As for the job itself, you're compensated based on your performance which I think is fair. It's a job. There is a lot of whining on this site but all in all I'd rather work for Sysco and have complaints than work for an absolutely perfect company and sit behind a desk all day.

Cons

Interview process was ridiculous. Very poor candidate care when it comes to the interview process. Since the company is so huge, it's easy to feel unimportant and expendable.

Pros

benefits, discount on meat. some of the people are helpful and supportive.

Cons

no organization, a lot of finger pointing, basically management lacks in streamlining work flow. everyone moves in different directions and very little training in all areas you must figure it out on your own and hope it's correct. no teamwork in some areas
