Pros

Steady employment for the full time employees. Decent pay for its industry though they could do better. Good equipment for the most part.

Cons

Discontinued traditional pension plan, now has a 401K based retirement plan. Downgraded health benefits, work most holidays, Activity Based Compensation pay program for delivery associates instead of a track-able steady hourly rate. Drivecam in the trucks. Zero tolerance policy on cell phone use when operating company vehicles, even if you have a hands-free device. Overall poor attitude towards its employees. Management sometimes misleads with answers on issues instead of being honest and upfront.

Pros

Buyers & Associates were great employee food discounts suppliers & food reps were great to work with Job is fun Impressed with the ability to move up in the company

Cons

expected to work 24/7 - "asked" to be on road 8a-5p, need to be on laptop1st thing in the morning and take care of paper work after 5pm and on weekends. I worked many holidays with normal pay, even though you are told it's a paid holiday.If you work a holiday there is no additional time given in exchange. Must use personal smartphone and are required to have Sysco apps loaded onto it. All expenses are the MA's resonsibility - gas, mileage, office supplie, cell phone, monies spent on customers...MA's must claim this on their taxes at the end of the year. The money is minimal compared to the amount of personal time and out of pocket expenses - TURN OVER IS HIGH
