No work/life balance. The culture lends itself to the expectation of 50+ hr work weeks for salaried associates. There have been many weeks that I've worked 60-70 hrs... Not all positions are like this, but most people that have "succeeded" have made significant sacrifices in their personal lives to attain the level they're at with the company. I don't believe this is unique to Sysco. Most large corporations expect a lot from their employees & if someone doesn't want to sacrifice their family life for the company, there's always someone willing to step in their place.
