Sysco reviews

I’ve been with Sysco over a year now and I am about to leave. I’ve gained valuable experience that has lead me to find an amazing position and I am grateful for that. However… They will screw you over from the start by giving you a negative territory that you have to make up for in new business… in my case, both times when I finally got to that point… someone quit or whatever excuse management would use to throw another negative/lost account under my name. You are paid out bonuses (commission) on this growth… but they make it impossible for newer reps. On top of this, I spent 60% of my time making excuses to all my customers about why their delivery was late or never came, why we were out of what they need, or why it was spoiled or moldy. The resources we are supposed to use in this job (merchandising, specialists, etc) are so poorly managed. I got answers from anyone maybe 50% of the time and within a week maybe 10% of the time. It’s just a whole mess… and to make matters worse they just cut our base pay by 15%, citing better opportunity to make up in bonuses. (Except when they throw negative accounts in to your territory)… Consultants are dropping out of this company like no other and for good reason. I hope they can come back from this and right their wrongs. For now i’ll be watching from afar.

On the surface, it appears you make great money. But once I take my comp and divide by the number of hours (57 to 60 per week) I left my old job for nothing. The culture is a churn and burn culture all the way from the Corporate jobs to the Operating Sites. There will always be another sucker to take over your job lured by a nice salary and bonus. Buyer beware!!
