1. Be prepared to wear plenty of hats.
2. Work life balance is non existent.
3. Quote from my boss "I have put my job ahead of my family my entire career and it worked well for me".
4. People from all functional areas are jumping off this sinking ship weekly due to the acquisition of US Foods by poor performing industry leader Sysco. (NOTICE I WROTE ACQUISITION AND NOT MERGER).
5. Propaganda is spread daily; mainly, "It's business as usual 'till the acquisition closes". Senior management needs to know that the troops don't believe it when you say it. They know that's all about the executives chasing that final Us Foods bonus.
6. Metrics will always be put ahead of people in this organization. They do not care about employees at all. When they say they do, it's just words.
7. EBITDA is all that matters to management. They don't care about people, workers, efforts, or anything else; just the bottom line!!
8. Vacation day's????? ya right, you have them but don't get to use them. And don't forget about those company holidays...you get to work those days as well (without compensation or comp days).
9. Most persons in charge advanced from the floor. This inbreeding had stalled the company and you literally hear phrases such as "this is the way we have always done it" on a weekly basis. That mentality is killing the business.
