      Worst Sales Job in America

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent training and benefits. Large company with many SKU's to sell

      Cons

      Something consistent with the big 3. Sysco, US Foods and PFG. They all abuse the sales force.. They make very little in commission have little support but tons of micromanagement. Most of the DMs are terrible managers. All 3 have nasty arrogant credit managers who treat sales reps like crap. Find another industry because these 3 have ruined the food service sales career.

      MA at Sysco SF, positive experience

      Marketing associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you meet and/ or exceed the [reasonable] expectations set for a Marketing Associate (sales rep), you will be well rewarded for your work, via your pay, bonuses, level of freedom and trust, and there are even trips that you can win throughout the year as a reward! You can also make build great relationships with customers in all types of operations, from fast food to fine dining, hotels to schools, etc.

      Cons

      Foodservice distribution is competetive anywhere, especially in the Bay Area and the city of San Francisco. Also, keeping customers happy if thers an issue (i.e. late truck) is time sensitive and can be stressful, but there is stress in any good job.

      Pros

      Flexibility during the day--great for if you have doctor appts or obligations with your small children that you might need to attend to. Good relationships with some of your customers are nice. If you are lucky enough to have a great boss- that would be a positive thing. Benefits are decent.

      Cons

      Customers will call you 24/7 so be ready to be oncall all of the time. You work on sundays -- so you work 6 days a week, then god forbid your customer needs something on a Saturday--you are expected to attend to them. Getting a good boss (DSM) will make all the difference in you ability to be successful in this job. I started out with a great boss and loved my job and ended up with a shitty boss and now hate this job. Pay is horrible as we have all pretty much taken pay cuts as they have recently restructured out pay. They also recently instituted the tracking device SALESFORCE.com and even though the software is not designed for sales such as this, they are myopic on us using it. Most people i know working here are pretty miserable and looking for other jobs.
